Move Over Cupcake, the Doughnut Has Arrived
Doughnut Before Designer Makeover
In case you haven’t been paying attention, cupcakes have been the darling of adult indulgence in recent years. Everyone has managed to fool themselves into believing that the controlled portion size of a cupcake won’t harm their waistline. Right.
Specialty cupcake stores have popped up in all the trendy, urban neighborhoods, specialty cupcakes can be ordered by mail, and we can all relive the joyful pleasure we took in this treat as children. Frosting, decorations, more mature flavors, nothing has been missed in this aim to please the adult cupcake palate.
But, sorry Cupcake. Your popularity has crested, as the star of the popular kids always does. Just when you think that no one can be invited to more parties than you, a new kid shows up in town. Meet the Doughnut.
Yes, the homely doughnut has become the new star of the decadent pastry scene. We’re not talking about the ubiquitous Dunkin’ Donut. No, mint mojito doughnuts haven’t made it onto their menus yet. Neither have Lemon Chamomile Creme Custard or Pomegranate Thyme. Of course, one may think twice before shelling out $5 or $6 for a designer doughnut, but their day in the sun will end soon enough. Who knows what’s next? Maybe miniature pies will be the next hot, pastry indulgence. Earl Grey Blueberry pie, perhaps?

Got something to say?
Nothing like a 6 dollar doughnut with your 4 dollar coffee. Nothing like starting the day with a 10 dollar breakfast. After all breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Unfortunately not much will be left to spend on the other meals.
