...re cake donuts...

They need to be fried to be good. It is sad to think that Tim Hortons
made a name for itself with a wide variety of fresh donuts made in store
but later devolved into a par baked system where their donuts are
partially baked in a central facility and then frozen and shipped to
stores to be  finished off in an oven. Their once great donuts now suck.

  that is when they lost my business.  i had no problem
going there for a good donut and a cup of coffee once
in a while as a treat.  after they changed, nope, not
going there for that when the local grocery store bakery
does them even better.

  it just happened that last night i asked Mom to pick
up some donuts for us on the way home and she did.  they
were the raised kind of cinamon rolls which i don't like
as much but these are acceptable if nothing else is
available.  we had some chocolate ice-cream left in the
freezer so i had my roll with chocolate ice-cream on it
for dinner - after eating that i said good night and went
to sleep and didn't wake up until a few minutes ago.  i
hadn't slept much the night before.  Mom just said she
got up from her chair (watching tv and sleeping in the
chair) at 2am to go to bed.  i told her she better not
be a crab-cake today if she didn't get enough sleep but
she said she was sleeping in her chair too.

  the raised cinamon rolls the local grocery store makes
are excellent for what they are.  they're big (about 7-8
inches across), the put white frosting on top and then
put some chocolate and caramel frosting drizzles on top
of that and then some walnuts.  they call them turtles
and they do that for $1.25 (they don't skimp on the
cinamon either).

  i did ask her to get some cake donuts if they had any
but they are usually sold out of those.
