I was in The Donut Lab creating a new flavor of Donut Bites requested by a client for a large event. I was inspired by the strawberry shortcake dessert. This is a bite size donut filled with a fresh strawberry filling then topped with strawberry shortcake crumble, fresh strawberry frosting and vanilla whip. It was damn yummy!

Back in the Donut Lab working on another version of the lemon meringue donut. I filled the yeast donut with lemon curd and then covered the donut with a honey vanilla glaze I topped it with a torched whipped meringue and some more lemon curd. I really like the end results
