:laugh: :laugh: I hear you. I like some a little bit fancy, but I draw the line at jimmies or sprinkles! ;)

Great idea, Lynne - now I'm craving a donut! My favorite donuts are probably the old-fashioned ones that you get at the ciders mills in the fall, either plain or dipped in cinammon-sugar. Extra points if they're still warm.
You've brought back a great memory from my college days (when I could eat anything I wanted and it had no affect on my hips :-\). There was a lovely woman who ran a fresh donut stand in the student union. She basically made old-fashioned donuts and then, while they were still hot, dipped just the tops with your choice of either chocolate, vanilla or strawberry frosting. You could also choose chopped nuts or jimmies. Hands-down the best donuts I've ever had, and she always had students lined up!
Lynne:
I may be adding the French Cruller tomorrow, but so far I have
Blueberry Cake - thanks Katherine!
Boston Kreme
Chocolate Frosted
Chocolate Glazed Cake
Glazed
Jelly Filled, rasperry or lemon
Powdered Cake (the white powdered sugar kind)
Other fancy pastries - I am addicted to croissants, though I don't favor the sweet ones - just butter croissants or Au Bon Pain has an amazing spinach croissant I get whenever I run across one

Very neat observation, Marie, about them being terrific if they're still warm! That's one of the 'selling-points' at Krispy Kreme is that they have a neon sign they turn on when the donuts are 'Hot and Fresh', meaning just out of the oven.
Thanks for sharing that story about your college days! I'm loving the idea of the old-fashioned dipped donuts. I'd wait in line for a chocolate-dipped donut, definitely. I'm going to worry about hips in another week or two. ;)

I am not a fancy or a complicated person. I like the glazed donuts. The yeast ones. When I worked at Mr. Donut we called them "Honey Dipped".
My blood sugar went up 30 points just from reading this thread! :laugh:
