In a sentence

団子(だんご)dumplingは甘(あま)くてsweet and美味(おい)しいdelicious

Dango is sweet and delicious

How it works

は (topic) marks 団子(だんご) (dumpling) as the topic — "as for dumplings…". Two qualities are then chained: the adjective 甘い(あまい) (sweet) switches to its て (te-form) 甘くて(あまくて) (sweet and) to mean "sweet and…", linking smoothly into 美味しい(おいしい) (delicious). The te-form is how Japanese strings descriptions together. No です (is) at the end, so it stays plain and relaxed.
