Just posting to celebrate that our bakery, Rise’n Roll Bakery, won fan favorite donut from the National donut Underground America's Greatest Donuts fan voting contest for our Cinnamon Caramel Donut.  That is 2 year's in a row.  We won many other donuts too but this is our most famous donut that started as our only donut when the founding Amish couple baked out of their house.  Now with more than a dozen locations we have people come in from hours away looking for that "Amish Crack" the nickname our donut has gotten because it is so addictive 🤣. https://www.greatestdonuts.com/winners-2024 https://www.bakemag.com/articles/18877-winners-revealed-in-americas-greatest-donuts-contest   ...
