We heard that Duchess Bakery had excellent donuts and one seldom needs a better reason than that to drive a hundred miles to a small town. In fact, there was discussion of getting up at 3am so we could be there when the place opened at 5 so we could get them hot and fresh but cooler heads prevailed.

The order: one glazed, one glazed strawberry, one creamy chocolate frosted raised, and one chocolate frosted Bismarck with custard and cream together! An excellent innovation! They were devoured quickly and we can officially vouch for the Duchess’ reputation.
