FOOD PORN: Doughnuts Edition

So I wanted to share this little bit of food porn with you all
From upper left to right; Holiday Malasadas, Double Chocolate, Apple Fritter, Egg Nog, Gingerbread, and Pear Charlotte.
About 4 miles from us is a little shop called Sidecar (I'm sure I've mentioned it before) and they have the best doughnuts!
they have their signature doughnuts, which include my favorite, 'the maple bacon', and have 4-5 doughnuts that change monthly.
Last month (during my break from healthy eating) we got all 5 of December's Holiday doughnuts (listed under the picture)
I must say, I was very much looking forward to the Egg Nog, and was sadly disappointed. It was a bit boring and bland. Nothing special. What did surprise me was the Pear Charlotte. Pear compote with pear cream and pomegranates, topped with cinnamon sugar, on top of a raised doughnut.

Its honestly something i wouldn't have gone for, since I don't particularly like fruit chucks with baked goods. But it was fabulous. Light, sweet, with a lovely pear taste surrounded by cinnamon. The cream is very light, not too thick or gelatinous.
