Cronuts, Townies and Duffins

A new breed of hybrid pastry that has made its way across the Atlantic and has got Londoners licking their lips. First a hit in New York, it seems this new breed of confectionary is a big hit amongst consumers.

It was mentioned on the news recently that, given that people are tightening their belts, consumption of comfort items has not been greatly affected.

Would you be tempted to try this new type of cake?

(It's all in video form so I can't put text for it really.)

Can't say it would tempt us these days, I never understand why they cannot be content with doughnuts or muffins etc why the need to make these incredibly sugar filled treats even worse for us than they already are, and the price !!

How do you know you will like them before tasting them ? Even when I ate sugar I am not sure these would have tempted me as I said earlier why mess with what we already have they were pretty yummy before they decided to do this.

Re: Cronuts, Townies and Duffins

Love cakes, But I did notice in the Video that not one of the People behind the counter used a pair of tongs or gloves to handle the cakes.
Here in Australia they would pick up the cakes with a piece of paper.
they are not allowed to handle the cakes directly.
