WEDDING DONUTS! (er, doughnuts)


It's about time.

Tune in tomorrow for a real wedding featuring these beauties from Portland's Voodoo Doughnut.

I'm a little obsessed with Voodoo Doughnut,* especially since I read Elizabeth Spiridakis's piece about the Voodoo Doughnut Burger they serve at The Original. But did you know you can get married at the Voodoo Chapel? Sounds recession-friendly fabulous to me.**

*Dear Voodoo, F*ck the vegans. How bout some gluten-free options? Love, Me

**Elizabeth, here's a thought. While you're biking around Portland this summer, why not pick up a cute guy and give the $25 Intentional Commitment ceremony a whirl? Purely in the interest of research.

    holy moly those look so good! i haven't had a good donut in months. i get them at the roach coach around the corner sometimes and then feel guilty because they are terrible.

    on the gluten drama, i'm thinking i should probably celebrate moving to the LES (if it actually happens, that is) by sending you some babycakes (is there something like that near you? they're yum; joe the dessert fiend once went three times in one day). where's that pneumatic tube between coasts i keep hearing about?

    i've seen the episode about voodoo donuts on the food network at least a thousand times... and i *never* watch food network! i don't know how it happens... maybe it's a sign that i need to go there and indulge in one of every kind. sounds like a plan to me.

    There is nothing holier than the pairing of donut and meat (in respects to the burger). Just the thought of a bacon maple bar makes me delirious with hunger.

    If I got hitched at Voodoo Donut, I would then make a grand exit in a pedicab.

    I went there at 3:30am once on the way to the airport - cap'n crunch-encrusted donut = sugar bomb = not such a great idea when you're hungover!! still highly recommended, they have the most outlandish donuts anywhere. and where else can you knock on a wooden shutter on a dark street in the middle of the night and find a glowing donut factory???

    We were seriously considering having Polish donuts (paczki) as part of our sweet table at the wedding, but then we got lazy. For shame.

    Also those look fucking awesome!

    After a few weddings it's a cheap option but nothing beats a real wedding cake on your big day.
