Donuts nowadays run the spectrum from classic to creative.
There’s something magical about that “hot and ready” sign glowing in the Krispy Kreme window. But there are lots of new spots in Myrtle Beach that serve their own brand of sweetness. It makes deciding where to go for National Donut Day a tough choice!
Mark June 5 on your calendar, and consider these spots for a celebration. And here are some fun facts to drop on your family while you wait for your donuts.
Fun Facts About Donuts
They’re SO much more than fried dough with sprinkles.
How about a $100 donut?
Edible diamonds aren’t cheap. This elevated treat includes other top-of-line ingredients, such as chocolate balsamic vinegar. Others are secret. An edible 24K gold leaf covers it, and you get it in a grandiloquent box with a ribbon.
There are more days for donuts
The first is the first Friday in June, but there’s another on Nov. 5. National Jelly-Filled Donut Day is June 8, and Sept. 14 is National Creme-Filled Donut Day. No one knows when mankind invented donuts exactly, so why not?
Early American donuts were “oily cakes”
In Dutch, that was “olykoeks.” New York was New Amsterdam then, and Dutch was the common language. The term “donut” came after a woman put a nut in the middle of the dough before frying it.
