New Donut: Carrot Cake

We finally stopped eating the test donuts to snap a few pictures of the delicious Carrot Cake donut!

Healthy never tasted this good. Made with 100 percent organic carrot juice, this cake donut is made with walnuts and sweetened with pineapple and orange zest. Oh, and topped with cream cheese icing and ground nutmeg. What's not to love?

Mojo Monkey Donuts on YouTube

Check out this blog and video about Mojo Monkey Donuts!

Excerpt from blog:
"I don’t normally go for the raised donuts, but I’m glad I did get the vanilla creme bismarck. The raised dough had good yeasty flavor, which surprised me. It tastes like a bakery smells, if that makes sense. The creme filling is also outstanding—smooth and with just enough body so it doesn’t drip and also not full of air like a whipped cream."

Thanks Raun! Visit his blog for the full review!

New Donut: Cranberry Pecan

With a new year comes a new donut! Behold our classic cake, folded with cranberries and chopped pecans, rolled in cinnamon-sugar and touched with orange zest (for a sweet zing to pair the tartness of the cranberry). We apologize in advance on behalf of how many New Year's resolutions this donut may break.
