The Boston Cream-off

albany jane boston creamPrompted by Kalyn's doughnut tour, Albany Jane and Daniel B organized a Boston Cream doughnut tasting this past weekend.

There were seven judges for the blind tasting. Here are reports by AJ, Daniel and Nicole.

The tasting ended in a split decision, but as Albany Jane commented:

GO AND TRY SOME DOUGHNUTS FROM THE PLACES WE DID. YOU WILL LIKE THEM.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for bringing The Cookie Factory donuts to my attention. Seriously, you walk into the store, and they are on a rack, tucked away on the side, completely unlabeled.

The glazed are great. I loved the Boston cream. Can't say I was crazy about the double dipped, but I bet Albany Jane would love them, since I understand she has a sweet tooth.

Next stop for me is Duncan's Dairy Bar. But first I need to get back down to fighting weight.
