Okay, every time someone picks up a dozen from DD, I can’t believe that they always get half the box of some lame-o varieties. More Boston Cream would be nice…more French Cruller, too! Instead the dummy buys half a box of dry powdery donuts that you need heavy cream to wash down without choking (hey, this is my opinion!)
YOUR CHALLENGE: Build your best dozen using the list below…
Fancies
Apple Fritter
Chocolate Iced Bismark
Bow Tie Donut
Chocolate Frosted Coffee Roll
Coffee Roll
Eclair
Glazed Fritter
Maple Frosted Coffee Roll
Vanilla Frosted Coffee Roll
Give me 4 French Crullers, 2 Jelly, 2 Boston Creme, 2 Blueberry crumb, and 2 glazed!
I’d get the whole dozen in Old Fashioned Cake, assuming the whole dozen was for me! Maybe more people like the “dry powdery” ones than you think–or maybe I’m in the minority. If I was buying for others, I’d let the Dunkin’ Drone pick them, because I know nothing about what donuts other people like.
Philster, you are so right about some people’s irrational need to “get a little bit of everything.” My parents used to do this when buying pastries and it drove me nuts. The good ones would be gobbled down the moment the box lid was pulled open, and the duds would sit there until they went stale. The pastry store does not impose a limit – buy just the good ones, dammit!
Me, I’ve cut the genetic apron strings when it comes to donut shopping. Half a dozen chocolate frosted (without sprinkles, if they’ve got 'em) and half a dozen glazed and I’m done. They’re my favorites and (I’ve observed) they appeal to a solid 95% of the rest of the donut-consuming populace. And if my numbers are off, no sweat, I’ll finish off the box. I leave all the dry, powery also-rans at the store.
I just had some chocolate glzed recently and they were small enough to hold in first finger and thumb. Why, back in my day they were a significant mass of donutty goodness. /old fogey
