One.
I wanted to participate in National Donut Day, but I wanted to try a healthier version for myself, so I made this Dashing Dish Clean Eating Chocolate Cake Donut recipe at home. I purchased a donut pan a few years ago and had not used it in a very long time, so it was fun to make a donut recipe again! It was pretty easy and quite tasty, I must say.

Who doesn't love a donut-themed party? Whether it's a wedding reception baby shower, or a birthday party for the young or young-at-heart, a donut is a perfect theme. And if you can't find inspiration here, I may not be able to help you.

You've heard of charcuterie boards, right? How about a DONUT board?? This one is GORGEOUS. She added milk, bacon, and fruit to a smattering of donuts from some of her favorite places, and the end result was almost too pretty to eat. Almost. Oh! And a bonus in her post is found at the end, so don't stop reading too soon! Her social media followers told her their favorite donut shops, and she shared the list!! So if you have any travel coming up, maybe you can find some inspiration!

What started as a simple donut has grown into a whole list of donut varieties. Here's a cheat sheet for what the most popular kinds of donuts are called - and a few more suggestions of places to visit if you're out in California! By the way, this post asks if you're team cake or team raised (yeast) donut. How about you? Unless it's a Duck Donut, which I will choose EVERY SINGLE TIME, I am a yeast donut girl through and through.
Five.
Father's Day is coming, and this DIY donut bouquet would make a cute gift for donut-loving dads, but it has also left me with a question: WHY ARE DONUT BOUQUETS NOT MORE OF A THING?? I mean, I know I would love receiving a donut bouquet for any occasion! Birthday, anniversary, Tuesday, you name it. Donut shops, I have a suggestion!

When I was little, I loved to pretend. I played house, church, dress-up, parenting, school - you name it. Of course, I didn't know back then just how much learning and creativity was naturally wrapped up in this kind of play. So if you have littles at home, or if you're teaching in a group environment, check out this SUPER CUTE donut shop! I wouldn't mind having it here, to be honest. With real donuts, of course. :)

Duck Donuts is so awesome. We were traveling in Virginia, and I called out to my husband, “that is a Duck Donuts. Bekah says we have to try them!!!” The next morning we were there and I fell in love. We went four times during our trip. Oh, I should mention that is was next door to our hotel!!! Talk about awesome.
Love the donut bouquet! Why isn't anyone selling them?! I suppose it wouldn't be all that hard to make a bouquet...
Hey, Bekah! I recently gave up sugar and carbs, and am doing Keto, basically...so I didn’t click on too many of your links today! I just had blood work done for work last week, and in the past two months, my average blood sugars took a nose dive! I’m down 30 points! I took a screenshot of the graph on my phone so I can show my friends and coworkers. Even though the weight is coming off slowly, this definitely encourages me!
Have a great weekend!
One of the places I miss most in Boston is that donut shop with the delicious GF donuts!
Fun fact my grandfather owned a restaurant and made all his donuts and my brother owns a donut shop. Yummy
Katie - This makes me SO HAPPY! I'm glad you loved them, or I would feel responsible to make it up to you! :)
Karen - My thoughts exactly!
Tracy - SMART MOVE to skip the links. I'll try to make next week NOT about food. But CONGRATULATIONS on the amazing work!!!
Tamar - I miss the pictures of them! :)
Anonymous - I love this! I think a donut shop would be great fun. Except the early morning part...
I have never made a donut bouquet, but I did make a donut Christmas tree for brunch on Christmas morning a few years ago. It was pretty easy and very yummy!
