Wanna eat a heart shaped donut ?

Okay, people let's eat a heart shaped donut !  I guess I should use its proper name, it is a "Cupid's Choice Donut"  by Dunkin Donuts.  This is a basic vanilla raised-donut filled with Bavarian creme.  Let's get right to it.

  I know this is not high cuisine, but let's select a donut and put it on a proper plate.


There we go, this looks like a treat !


For the record, I chose the top/middle donut, it appeared to have the most sprinkles.
I am not sure how to properly approach this, so I decide to start at the bottom tip of the heart.
 Let's take that first bite.  Not bad, the pink frosting is strawberry flavored, a nice touch ! There is not much filling in the tip of the heart though, a bit of a disappointment... 


The cake is pretty good, considering that it has been sitting in the box since early morning.  I am sure that there are enough preservatives in this baby to keep it soft for at least 12 hours !
The candy hearts on top don't add much flavor, just a little sweetness, which it okay with me as it lets the artificial strawberry frosting take center stage at this point.   I really want to get to that Bavarian creme, though, so let's keep eating ...


Ah, now we are getting somewhere !  This is a mellow vanilla creme, a bit pudding-like,  going well with the strawberry frosting.  For some reason I think I am tasting a mild coconut flavor, but there is no discernible coconut in this at all.   The mystery of artificial flavor...


Uh oh,  our enthusiasm has gotten the best of us and there is not much left.  Ether our eyes are getting blurry from the sugar rush or I need to figure out the camera on my new Droid X phone, but that is the matter for a whole other blog.

Popping that last bite into our mouth and we are done !


Yum, nothing left but a few stray crumbs. As far as donuts go, this was satisfying in a trashy kind of way.  I have to admit that I am a cake-donut girl, but this was a good raised-donut choice.  The strawberry frosting saved this from being a bland vanilla-ish donut.  For a junk food treat, this was just fine.
Of course, after eating 310 calories in about a minute, the only thing that you can have for the rest of the night it something like this -


Don't even THINK of putting cream in it!
