'Tis the Season for Fancy Doughnuts
Gourmet doughnut shop Glazed & Infused, which is opening its Armitage location any day now, is doing something special for the holidays that goes way beyond red and green sprinkles or candy cane icing. For $5, you can get your own miniature bûche de Noël doughnut, replete with chocolate frosting "bark" and meringue mushrooms.
The bûche de Noël, or yule log, is a traditional French Christmas treat -- a sheet of spongy yellow cake layered with chocolate and/or chestnut or hazelnut filling and coated with chocolate icing to resemble a log. They're usually big enough to feed a family, but Glazed & Infused's version is 2½ to 3 inches long with a hazelnut filling, and comes packaged in a little box. They're available by pre-order only from Dec. 17 to 23 at each Glazed & Infused location. Email sales@goglazed.com or call at 312-226-5556 to place your order.
