2) Summer is finally approaching, and Kane’s Donuts has new flavors to celebrate. The month of June is filled with celebrations such as National Donut Day and Pride Month. Kane’s June flavors of the month include Soft Honey Cruller, Chocolate Sprinkle Donut, Zagnut Donut, Gluten Free Donut, Pride Donut and a Strawberry Vegan Donut.
The Soft Honey Cruller is a yeast dough twisted in the shape of a cruller cooked to a light golden color and then drenched in Kane’s Signature Honey Glaze. The Chocolate Sprinkle Donut is an old-fashioned cake-style donut frosted with Kane’s homemade chocolate frosting, then dipped in chocolate sprinkles. The Zagnut Donut is a yeast donut frosted with Teddy peanuts, then dipped in toasted coconut and topped with lines of our homemade chocolate frosting. The Gluten-Free Donut of the month is a Clementine Donut. Clementines are a deep, orange-colored hybrid fruit, a combination of mandarin and sweet orange; the refreshing flavor is unmistakable! Kane’s folds the fruit into their old-fashioned dough and then dipped in their Signature Honey Glaze drizzle with Clementine Icing.
