Since I may have gone overboard in my National Donut Day instagramming, I was going to let it pass on the blog. But, after reading about foodfeud's celebration, I felt that I owed it to you to post my own glorious NDD escapades - even though such things also tend to happen with embarrassing regularity throughout the year for me.
VM, 89, and I made a beeline to Vegan Treats for the occasion; we frankly couldn't resist all of their delectable posts on the subject. And, despite it being NDD, 89 couldn't wait for some ice cream.
Chocolate swirled with malt, rainbow sprinkles.
Really (malt only).
Onto the donuts! While I normally err on the verbose side, I'm going to take a page from foodfeud and let the photos tell (most of) the story.
fasnachts:
triple chocolate:
Mini donuts: rainbow sprinkles and Boston creme (with a fasnacht photobomb).
Also, these mini chocolatey creations that were going really fast.
The real star of the show, for us, was the donut sundae: a chocolate-encased angel food cake donut with a great big tower of whipped cream, chocolate sauce, chocolate chips, and sweet, sliced strawberries.
A cross-section of the donut alone:
We also took an assortment to a friend...(the one on the bottom right is lemon blueberry!)
Aaaaand, then I got a little lazy with the photos. But, the one front and center is a cherry pie donut!
I think you get the idea.
I do want to give a shout out to these gorgeous, fun-fetti cupcakes that were also available. Unfortunately, we couldn't partake because we were focusing on donuts. Next time, fun-fetti; I'm coming for you!
So, there you have it; you now have until June 6, 2015 to prepare for your own observance of National Donut Day.
Or, just make your own donut day.
