Cupcake Schmupcake...

With apologies to Ms. Hannah - who is still perfecting the "stuffed" cupcake... I'm afraid cupcakes are yesterday's pastry!


Growing up with both Mr. Donut (local) and Dunkin'...I'm all about donuts! Alastair and I recently ventured into Sublime Doughnuts near the Georgia Tech campus [good location!].

Now their coffee program seemed a little weak - though they did use French press pots! They had good cold milk, some comfortable chairs - even a sofa, and DOUGHNUTS [their preferred spelling].

With flavors including, Butter Toffee Crunch with caramel Chocolate Icing, Strawberry Cheesecake, Chocolate Banana Fritter (so good), Red Velvet Cake, and signature A-Town Cream
[pictured here with Dark Chocolate] among others - Sublime Doughnuts has shoved me forward from cutesy cupcake culture and into the groovy world of Homer Simpson. Seattle's Top Pot Doughnuts is likely the most prominent of the "artisan" [eew] doughnut galleries - they've even caught the eye of the green mermaid who now carries their rings nationally. New York has the swanky pants Doughnut Plant... Portland has the funky, adventurous Voodoo Doughnuts...

BUT - here in the deep down dirty South - the Dulce de Leche and peanut butter-filled Reese's Peanut Butter Cup donuts at Sublime - OH MY GAH! I need to go back [yeah - right "need"] to try the cake donuts as I only gobbled the yeast thus far.

"MMMMMM... Forbidden Donut..."


Find your favorite donut hole and embrace the glaze baby!
