While there are many donut rings that have been rendered in metals, polymer clay and a range of other creative materials, Doughnut Time is teaming up with Deliveroo to offer a different kind of donut ring for Valentine’s Day—made of real donuts. The donuts come in pairs, with one of the designs taking inspiration from Meghan Markle’s engagement ring with an edible, sparkling strawberry diamond.
The limited-edition ‘Dough-knots’ may be ordered just ahead of February 14th, offering a novel way for those in London to express their love and at the same time, indulge their sweet tooth with something other than candy or chocolate.
In order to better compete with confectionery companies on the romantic holiday, a number of food brands are offering unusual gifts such as meat-based bouquets and smoothies infused with spicy-sweet cinnamon heart candies.
