Luscious treats: Go Nuts on Donuts
Doughnuts are considered delectable treats; every bite a taste of pure delight. We tend to think of them as soft round balls or rings, but a local baker has come up with a unique take on these popular indulgences.
“For the first time in Christchurch there are now doughnut birthday or wedding anniversary cakes made in the shape of numbers,” says Narinder Singh, of Go Nuts on Donuts. “I first had the idea in Sydney where I spent 10 years making doughnuts, and we have to use special cutters to create the numbers. The cakes can be decorated in any way a client wishes, the more colourful the better. Just order a day in advance of when you want the cake.” 
Of course the doughnut cakes are made with Narinder’s signature egg-free dough of flour, water and yeast. “Being egg-free, the dough is especially soft and delicious. The cakes are also filled with jam, cream, and my special custard containing saffron to give it a really beautiful taste.”
The two Go Nuts on Donuts shops – in Hornby and the central city – sell 17 different types, including the very popular caramel & lime, cookie & cream, and apple & custard with crumble creations. The business has become very well-known in vegan circles for its range of vegan doughnuts, proving yet again everyone enjoys a sweet treat.
