    HOLY SMOKES. Probably the best donut you’ll ever taste. She makes them FRESH all day in small batches. And uses great ingredients. No artificial colors. I wonder if they’re winning any awards? Seems like a very unique model for donut making. More culinary.

    All of us in our class before really was just learning how to bake to pass the assessment and receive our certificates by the end of the year, but we ended up enjoying it, making the whole journey to it much more bearable and enjoyable, it was such a big accomplishment we got before we moved to senior high.
