Over the years, I’ve heard a lot of hype about Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. How to die for they are. While grocery shopping with the Eldest, we came across a box of Krispy Kreme Boston Cream Pie doughnuts. The Eldest indulged me and bought a box for Saturday morning breakfast. I couldn't wait to try them. A fluffy doughnut stuffed with custard cream and topped with chocolate frosting.
The results? Where’s the creme or the cream?

Sorry you were so disappointed with the donuts, I wonder why people make such a hype when they don't live up to their name? I haven't had donuts in ages, thanks for the reminder, must wander past the bakery tomorrow! They have wonderful ones filled with eggnog, yummy! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteEggnog donuts sound delicious
DeleteWe had that hype here a couple of years ago when the first Krispy Kreme came north to our area. I am with you. The hype wasn't all equal to the taste. But I am shocked how little creme is in the donut. I can't believe they sell a donut and call it a Boston cream if they don't stuff it with cream. Those are my hubby's favorite. Happy Tuesday and T day. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteIf you notice, they aren't called Boston Cream donuts, but Chocolate Iced Donuts with Kreme Filling. Being the week before the Super Bowl and the Philadelphia Eagles the favorite team here, there is no mention of Boston anywhere. I've been careful about mentioning where I'm from. Sports fans can be rabid. Go Pats! =^,.^=
DeleteI went to Krispy Kreme right after they opened in Wichita. I was NOT impressed, either. I watched as they went through the ovens, etc. I ordered six donuts and I thought they tasted like they had been cooked in fish oil. So I agree that they aren't worth all the hype. Thanks for sharing these and your tea with us for T this Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteBTW, in response to your comment: What did they have for dessert instead of pie?
It appears the women of the church made different types of sheet cakes and cut them up in about 2 inch squares. Could be why there was no pie, since the cakes were so small, it would be hard to cut a pie that small and disproportionate.
Had to laugh at what you said about the sewer plate. It's not a face, but the symbol of my city. It's really a W for Wichita. The crooked smile is actually the two rivers that meander through the city. The sunburst is a reference to the Wichita Indians (yes, that is the name of their tribe).
Too bad they didn't think of making individual pies in muffin tins.
DeleteI know the W was for Wichita, but it looked like a face to me :-D I didn't know Wichita was the name of a tribe. Just like my state (technically a commonwealth) was named after the Massachusett one of the Algonquian tribes
I had no idea about the name of your commonwealth being one of the Algonquian tribes. I learn something new each Tuesday.
Deletewhen I was really young growing up at home we had a krispy cream near us my father loved that place. I remember liking the donuts with all the glaze on it-they would make me really really sick now. I did get the opportunity years later to watch them being made was pretty fun to watch them on the big machines-but they were always so greasy too
ReplyDeleteI see them being sold here in the grocery stores-they remind me of my childhood but they were never that good
Happy T Day Kathy
I suppose nothing is as good as the memories from childhood.
DeleteI think it would be fun to to see the dounuts being made, but I'll pass on them next time
Never had a krispy kreme -mostly because I heard what you have discovered and I don't like things so sweet. But, now give me a good Boston Cream and I'd be quite happy to enjoy a treat:) Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteWish I had a good donut now. My favorite is Bavarian Cream. Like a Boston Cream, but without the chocolate ganache and generously dusted with powdered sugar
DeleteOh i totally agree with you CJ.. Never been a fan of Krispy Kreme... I don't even have Dunkin that often preferring local mom and pop bakeries.. So nice to hear i'm not the only one who thinks Krispy Kreme is overrated.. Happy T day hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteI was afraid I was going to be the only one who thought Krispy Kreme is overrated. :-D Don't have any small bakeries near me so Dunkin' it is.
DeleteWe can get Krispy Kreme donuts over here but I'm not a fan. I much prefer Dunkin' Donuts too, especially the pumpkin pie ones which are so yummy ...lol 😉. It's a good job that we can't get them over here though otherwise they'd feature on all my T Day posts ...lol 😀. Wishing you a Happy T Day! J
ReplyDeleteFeaturing favorite donut flavors on T Day posts is not necessarily a bad thing =^,.^=
DeleteI agree with you completely. I'm a big fan of whatever locally-owned donut shop there is. We have a local favorite and avoid the chains like the plague. I feel for you not having a local source. That said, I've had Dunkin Donuts, and I liked them fine. We're just spoiled for choice here.
ReplyDeleteLucky you!
DeleteCJ, Dunkin Donuts are horrendous. The only time Krispy Kreme are any good is when they are made hot and fresh in the shop. You want a decent donut-- surprisingly Cumberland Farms has them. You want a good donut? Donut Kitchen in Holden or Dippin' Donuts. You want an amazing donut? Blue Star in Portland Oregon-- worth the drive and now you're almost halfway there when you visit the eldest.
ReplyDeleteWait, I thought the must have donuts in Portland, Oregon were VooDoo Donuts.
Deletewe bought them and the supermarket too to try and my sons didnt think much of them...overhyped we prefer the cheaper jam doughnuts in the supermarket
ReplyDeleteSometimes cheap can be surprisingly good.
DeleteI was really thinking that the doughnuts sounded delicious with the custard filling and then as I read more of your post, I could imagine your disappointment.
ReplyDeleteStill you tried them and I'm sure won't be buying anymore.
Happy T day wishes.

Fortunately, we don't have Krispy Kremes where I live. In Massachusetts, it's Dunkin' Donuts born in Quincy, Massachusetts
DeleteI always liked these as a kid, what happened to them? LOL!
ReplyDeleteThe corporation sacrificed quality for profits?
DeletePhew! My blood sugar rose all by itself just thinking about donuts until I read what you said about them - how disappointing! I have tried Krispy Kremes but never Dunkin Donuts (which I guess must only be in the US) Strangely, if I want a treat at the weekend, donuts have the least sugar of all cakes, even with cream and jam - although I usually take most of the jam off. When we used to go to the seaside as a child there used to be a donut stall - now there was a donut!! In answer to your question - yes Lincoln Green was indeed the the cloth used for Robin Hood's clothing - so they say! Sherwood Forest is around 30miles away so not such along walk!!! At the time Lincoln was famous for it's cloth - especially Lincoln Scarlet. Happy T day! Chrisx
ReplyDeleteAh, Will Scarlet! I love the Robin Hood legends
DeleteI agree....never understood what all the hoopla was about with Krispy Kreme.....they are very greasy. At least the ones down here. :(
ReplyDeleteI didn't find the donut greasy. Just very little cream and way too sweet
DeleteHaha! This made me laugh. Where's the cream? In my opinion one can never have too much cream. The best cream filled donuts I have ever had came from a local bakery. Yum!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Tea Day,
Kate
Guess I'll have to try to find a good, local bakery
DeleteCJ, I agree with you! When they first came to Canada, there was line ups! Well, they don't exist in Canada anymore! LOL! But, I have to say, we tried several of their donuts, all the different flavoured ones, were yucky, but the "original" ones, are good!
ReplyDeleteOh, and they have to be fresh and hot! But, like I said, only their original "glazed" donut.
ReplyDeleteDidn't see any of the glazed donuts. Though they would have been boxed and cold.
DeleteI'm not a Krispy Kreme fan either, CJ. I figure any bakery made in a factory is more fillers and preservatives than food. With the exception of Entenmann's ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy T-day! Hugs, Eileen
I haven't had Entenmann's products for long time. The girlies loved their chocolate chip cookies.
DeleteDon't look like they are really good -we have our fresh baked Vanillekrapfen or Krapfen filled with Apricot- marmalade. Thea are always fresh from the bakery ------- too delicious!
ReplyDeleteOooh, apricot-marmalade sounds awesome!
