To celebrate Krispy Kreme's 80th birthday, the famous donut shop has released limited edition birthday cake donuts.
Available at select retailers, these take-home donuts are glazed, mini, birthday cake-flavored crullers or classic cake donuts. Only a few grocery stores have these on offer right now, but as we approach the July 13th milestone, more retailers should sell these treats. No official release has been made about the birthday cake donuts but Instagram snaps of the crullers have fans going wild.
The donut and coffee shop was founded in 1937 in North Carolina and has grown to be a global brand with limited edition and regional products all over the world. Krispy Kreme's traditional glazed donuts are a fan favorite, and its birthday cake donuts are sure to garner mass attention, while honoring the company's 80th birthday.
