A Pastry Delayed – Glam Doll Donuts

Can we just look at these donuts for a moment?

Donuts for a minute.

This wasn’t my first time at Glam Doll, but the first performance was worthy of an encore (let’s just take another moment to celebrate the use of fresh raspberry curd, so unlike the lemon goo served up at Voodoo Donuts), so I’ve been biding my time until I could bully a friend into meeting me there. Donuts should be shared. That is, donuts should be eaten with another person. I mean, each person should have their own donut (obv).

The decor is mid-century kitsch, but please don’t read the literature. I thought “pinups” were just like about fishnet stockings, but turns out, it is a little more graphic. It was a few wasted minutes before I realized that instead of reading about the history of pinup literature, I could have been reading The Flavor Bible at my elbow. What a shame.

These beauties were the signature item of the day–a nonpareil-esque donut. I was severely tempted, but cake donuts aren’t really my thing, so I opted for an almond cream-filled donut with chocolate icing.
