Fluffy's Donuts To Go

09/02/2023

Good morning everyone! I'm here sitting in my chair trying to regain my thoughts. It was a crazy morning, and I love selling donuts! However, we are basically sold out... I've met lots of new faces today. Tons of nice families and staff members from Whitworth today, and I found out it is move-in day!

Sorry if you couldn't get your donut fix today!

We have the following left... i updated it... now this is what we have left

Glazed donuts (that can be filled)
Crumb donuts (that can be filled)
1 Apple fritter

I will try to make more for tomorrow...

On the bright side. I will have the time to try something... I'm going to use this Cocoa Power we have at the candy store. (Yes, it is the real deal Bournville cocoa imported from Cadbury in the UK.)

I'm going to attempt a chocolate buttermilk bar (full size) they should be coming out in about an hour if you want to try one. Could be the best thing ever... but let's be honest it will probably be something we need perfect over time!

09/01/2023

I was wrong everyone... I was 100% wrong! There, you heard it hear first. We sold out fast today... honestly, it was too fast (9am). I seriously thought Pig Out in the Park would negatively affect our sales. I'm sorry to anyone who stopped in later in the day. Our selection was limited, but we made it through the day with some great custom donuts!

The "Fireball fritter" will officially be available everyday starting Wednesday the 6th. (I'm told that's the official-unofficial end of Summer.)

By the way... is it just me, or is the switch from summer to fall very bittersweet? I really like summer, but I LOVE fall... and tomato soup... and grilled cheese sandwiches.... and chili.... and maybe I'm just hungry! 🤣

If you can believe it.... this is everything we had leftover today! Thank you to all of you... our amazing customers. All of you wonderful people make it possible for me to be goofy, and your donuts for you....so thank you!

Tomorrow is buttermilk bar bites day, and does anyone have any thoughts on having fritters on a weekly schedule, and classic apple would still be made everyday.

For example:

Wednesday - "Elvis" fritter
Thursday - Cherry
Friday - Maple Bacon
Saturday - Strawberry
Sunday - Orange

The flavors are not set... just an idea I'm throwing around. Let me know what you think.

We are own at 5am until 12pm!

I'll see you at the shop!

09/01/2023

I'm heading to bed to get up extra early to prepare So you may not recieve the traditional "confirmed" text.... never fear! I will get it in the morning!

08/31/2023

Sorry for the lack of postings (is that even a real word?) this week! All good things have kept me from posting... mainly things at our home! Much like most parents... we are also getting ready to send our kids back to school!

I also just realized I'm over 2 days late on my shop update post.... sorry! 🫣I guess that makes me a liar! 😭

Sadly, this post is going to be a "good news sandwich." (One bad thing sandwiched between two good things!)

First off... tomorrow is a minor event... we will have a buttermilk old fashioned.... Fest! I really wish I was more clever. I will post a seperate list of flavors later today.

Secondly... due to rising costs...we are going to have to raise the price on all filled by 25 cents to $3.25. Bavarian will remain the same $3.00 it has been.

Third... the "Fireball Apple Fritter" (pictured below) is coming... everyday is September! Feel free to stop by tomorrow because we will have free samples, but after that, we will have them everyday! For anyone who likes the "hot" cinnamon flavor. Imagine an apple fritter that has an amazing cinnamon flavor that lingers in your mouth giving you that "warm-fuzzy" feeling! It's a great donut for fall!

If you're one of the lucky ones...and you've had one from our first couple of test batches let everyone know what you thought of it.

We are open at 5am tomorrow!

I'll see you at the shop!

📣Big News Alert
Hey everyone... I am hard at work... on the store playlist!

Rachel and I took the kids to Silverwood today. (We realized we were almost out of time at Boulder Beach) I'm not a waterpark guy. (I personally save all of my energy for the coasters and rides.) So I'm the desiganted spot holder, and... watcher of the twins in the kiddie park guy.

See everyone... I don't only sell donuts!! 🤣

Now, obviously we not producing donuts today.... With that said, I'm having a blast! I'm putting together a playlist of any song that reminds me of anything happy, or makes me happy. Basically, anything that makes me want poorly dance or sing along to. Some have a funny story (funny to me at least.) I'm going all in too!... I'm even including the embarrasing songs *cough* Celion Dion, and Mariah Carey *end cough* the songs my younger self would sing along to while alone in my younger years. Now I guess, I just have no shame left. 🤷‍♂️

I started with the 50's, 60's, and 70's... most of these songs I just know from hearing them in movies. I rarely knew the artist and/or song title.

But today I'm working on the 80's, and 90's.

I'm covering everything from School House Rock songs to the previously mentioned Celion Dion. I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks for of your word mouth sharing, and the continued support of the shop!

Big News...drum roll..... in the Middle of October....we will be adding.... a sixth day permanently!.... Tuesday. (Sorry to anyone who voted for Monday previously.) It's better for my family because it aligns with lots of school days off and things.

Tomorrow will be a very long shop update/loose end tie up post about a number of things. Anything from things we are working on to the flavors available in the upcoming "Old Fashioned Fest" on Friday.

For now...

We will be open at 5am until 12pm on Wednesday. I'll see you at the shop!

08/27/2023

I'm 40, and still listen to my mom.... here is a quick introduction for myself.... and the shop.

Thanks Mom!

08/27/2023

Here is proof that eyes balls don't make everything cute and funny. Sometimes it creates a monster!

I think M&M are officially donut fryers... because are starting to see the shapes in leftover dough.

Meet, "Fluffy" the dinosaur! He was a piece of scrap dough that resembles a dinosaur. Then M&M decided that he needed eyes... the result will probably haunt my dreams tonight! 🤣

08/26/2023

I'm very tired... and I've always wanted to do a live video like this!

I'm sorry, or you're welcome!

Because "Crazy Taylor's Donut Emporium" is here!

08/26/2023

Do you know what time it is?

7:05!

And time for donuts!

08/26/2023

Quick update about tomorrow morning... while at the Clayton Fair!

08/25/2023

My blue car isn't here... but I am!

08/24/2023

Lots of info, and I truly need some help from everyone! Sorry... it will be a long video!

08/24/2023

What time is it?

It's time for donuts!

08/23/2023

Good morning all my donut peoples!
Time for.... The Tour!

08/23/2023

Sorry for the late post, but it was a crazy day at the house. Since we are not open on Tuesday's I only had prep to do. So I figured I would let anyone who doesn't know, we mix our own icing. This is our chocolate icing "in the works" I've sped it up for your convenience. 😉

Anywho, tomorrow we will have Buttermilk Bars, Huckle Knuckles, and knowing me... probably some other surprises!

We are open from 5am until 12pm!

See you at the shop!

08/20/2023

Today is going to be a really good day!

08/19/2023

It's a donut kind of Saturday morning.

08/19/2023

Howdy everyone! I have a few things to cover.

Number 1: Anyone who lives in Medical Lake can have free donuts on us tomorrow! I wish I could do more for all of you, but at least maybe have a semi-fun outing in morning. I can't even imagine what you're going through... please be safe!

Number 2: I met many new families today, and I'm sorry, but I can only remember one name....Elijah, and his mom, Hannah (Sorry in advance if I got either of the spellings wrong.) But thank you all who tried us out today! Including the couple who came in early for the Huckle Knuckles, but I had to make you wait for about 20 minutes while we made them. Thank you so much for your patience! It was a difficult morning, but we made it through!

Today's photo of our delicious white cake donuts comes to you because I forgot to take pictures of donuts this morning. By the time I realized I had no new donut photos, and we didn't have much left over! 😬 So tonight I will let everyone who doesn't know yet. That we do make plain cake donuts daily. However, we also make 6-7 other types of just white cake donuts daily! (Text ahead at 509-467-6403 to get a menu, and to order.)

Number 3: Tomorrow we will have the following...

Orange Dream: Orange Iced Donut Filled with buttercream. (It tastes like a Hostess Orange Cupcake.)

The Swiftie: Chocolate donut filled with Chocolate Chip Cookie buttercream. (Yes, you read that correctly.🤤)
And your choice of with or without cookie crumbles on top.

Buttermilk Bites: Little pieces of Buttermilk Donut Perfection they come in Clear Glaze, Chocolate, and Maple. The best part is you get to mix and match 3 of them! It's really a win, win, win situation. (Shout out to The Office.)

Huckle Knuckles: Take everything you read about the Buttermilk Bites above.... and then add fresh Huckleberries!

08/17/2023

Day one of the "Swiftie" is in the books, and it was big! Thanks to everyone who stopped in today, and yes, I will have them again tomorrow. Just in case you couldn't make it in this morning to try one!

If you were able to snag one. Let me know what you think. Even with a simple 👎 or 👍 in the comments.

We will also have all of your regular favorites, plus Devil's Food, Emoji's, and Maple Bacon fritters!

We are open from 5am - 12pm!

I'll see you at the shop.

08/17/2023

We've still got donuts! I know, you're thinking... They only have the "scrap" donuts left. Seriously, we have a great selection left. Including: "Orange Dream", "The Swiftie", and a fresh batch of Huckle Knuckles! Stop on by, or text your order in to 509-467-6403.

Isabel and I, are here until noon today.

We'll see your at the shop!

08/16/2023

My oldest daughter Isabel, (Much like lots of other people right nowadays.) is a big fan of Taylor Swift! Apparently, her favorite dessert is chocolate chip cookies. (Mine too... it must be a Taylor thing.😅) May we jump on the Taylor Swift band wagon? Cause if so.... I present to you the "Swiftie" donut!

Chocolate on top with Rachel's scratch made cookie dough (eith chocolate chips) buttercream in the middle! 🤤

Depending on feedback over the next couple of days. I will keep this going every day this month! Next month is the "Fireball-Apple" Fritter!

October will be a special pumpkin donut we've been working on!

The shop is getting busier and busier! I know I sound like a broken record, but thank you for your support! I know things are getting tough out there, and just know every customer is greatly appreciated!

With your help, I want to be the best donut shop in Spokane! Help me get the word out, and the quicker we get that done. The quicker , I can get Rachel over to the "donut side." 😀

Enjoy the close-up of my face stuffing a ButterCrumb donut into my mouth!

08/16/2023

New things are in the works... and I need some help with something.

08/13/2023

Good morning everyone! Who wants some donuts?

08/12/2023

We still have donuts...Yippee! 🤣

08/12/2023

We sold out early today!

Sorry to anyone who couldn't get their donut fix today.

In all honesty, we sold out WAY too early for my standards, and I will try to improve that in the future.

However, I would like to thank everyone for letting us spend some quality time away with our family! Seriously, it was the best family vacation we've had in years! So thank you very much!

Sorry for the lack of donut photos today! Instead, here are a few photos of our little trip! Including a picture of my son Parker, who as you can see, fell asleep in the grass after walking back to our camper. At the time I was carrying Cassidy, and told Parker to follow me. After I got Cassidy tucked in I found him.... sound asleep! 🤣 (It was at the end of a very long day.)

Tomorrow will be pretty normal. (But still amazing!) We will have our wonderfull Buttermilk Bars.... including the new "Hot Tamale" flavor!

Also, we will have a Chocolate-Orange Dream tomorrow. Why, because I'm out of Vanilla Buttercream.... so let's use Chocolate Buttercream instead!

On a final note.... the next FritterFest has been confirmed with M&M... September 15th! (Exactly 5 weeks away!) I want this one to be the biggest yet! I'm going to start working on the flavor list tonight... let me ƙnow your favorites!

We are open 5am - 11pm tomorrow.

I'll see you at the shop!

08/07/2023

Good morning to all of our donut shop fans! This will be my last post for a couple of days. So it's going to be a long one... good luck! I won't be posting, but I can, and I will respond to comments!

A couple of things that got away from me!

#1 Tiger bars won by a land slide! I will have those on Friday!

#2 Loyalty cards will begin soon. I accidentally got them with a gloss coating, and my cool stamp smears on them! Go me! 🤦‍♂️

#3 The tip money collected Friday will be donated by next week. I haven't had a chance to this week yet. I promise it has not been forgotten!

#4 If there is something else I have neglected to give an update for. Please remind me of it in the comments!

Before I sign off, I was thinking I would give out a bit of a project for anyone who wants to give feedback!

We have had lots of new donuts coming out, but there are very few permanent additions.

So, of the new donuts, which should be keepers? (I'll list some of the more popular items)

"Hot Tamale"
Buttermilk Bite with vanilla icing, hot cinnamon sugar on top.

"Orange Dream"
Orange topped donut filled with buttercream.

"Elvis Presly"
Banana Fritter with real Peanut Butter Cream and chocolate chips on top.

"Strawberry Crunch"
A donut filled with whole strawberries and topped with buttercream and a shortbread crumble.

Write in your own choice below if you have your new favorite!

Lastly, as you may know, I like to have some transparency in my business. I like the customers to give input because you are the ones supporting us! We can't stay open or grow without your continued support.

A few questions from me. (If you have the time to answer them.) There are no right or wrong answers here, only opinions. I don't want any arguments in the comments. 😀

#1 Extend hours on the current days, or add a 6th day of business?

#2 Continue trying lots of new flavors that come and go, or focus on producing MORE of the old and new staples?

#3 Do you like the classic music I usually play (70's and 80's), or should I put together a personalized "Taylor" mix. (It would have something from every decade from the 50's to now.)

#4 I'm thinking of donating my tips from every Friday. I'm going to continue this though fire season. I will alternate each week between donating to the Red Cross (families), Scraps (animals)!

I would like to continue it past fire season, I'm looking for suggestions from anyone who has them! I really like the idea of finding families with medical needs who need financial support. Does anyone work at Sacred Heart Children's Hospital?

Do you like the donut giveaways, or is there another type of contest you would like to see? For example, I could give away donuts to anyone who has left a comment? (I like the interaction)

Give us a follow, like, or share. (I'm truly not sure of the difference.🤫) The more fans we get online, the more I can give away, and that sounds like fun for me. (Help me get my numbers up!)

Lastly, most important where can we improve. I don't need my ego stroked here. We are far from perfect! How can we be better! I'm 100% okay with constructive criticism!

Whew! That's a lot to take in sorry everyone!

We will reopen at 5am on Friday the 11th!

See you at the shop! In a few days. 😃

08/06/2023

Update: Sorry, but we are sold out for the day.
(Except for special orders.)

Proof that a terrible business owner... I will tell you not to come in... 🤪

08/06/2023

Hey everyone just a quick shop update. M & M weren't able to work tonight so I'm pulling double duty tonight. (Might not be able to have as many donuts as usual.) I'm starting up production right now. Would anybody like me to Facebook Live the case, or video myself during production and do a time lasped video?

Let me know... I've got ALL night.

Fun fact... I tried to take a picture myself for this post. As the time was counting down I was trying out different faces. I didn't know it was recording! So in the video I start off with a look of disappointment/confusion when I realize I have to hold my phone up for the 10 second countdown. Then the faces begin! Since I don't care about looking really dumb... enjoy the video instead of a photo!

We are open from 5am until 12pm tomorrow.

See you at the shop.

08/05/2023

Sorry for the very unprofessional, and thrown together winners announcement! I just wanted to get the winners announced ASAP.

Congratulations to the following post sharing people:

M. Grover
P. Garringer
T. Manee
A. VanGorp
H. Jezior
J. Myers
J. Wilson
C. Taylor
M. Wardsworth

I sent each of you a message, or commented I honestly don't know the difference. Message me back, and stop in anytime to pick up your free dozen.

08/05/2023

I'm only posting this so I can "pin" it to the top I guess. (I've been working on this for an hour, and I quit now.) 😄

Here is the menu!

08/04/2023

You will all be happy to know I survived the Filled Fiesta. I'd better be careful writing filled too many times... Harvey Cole might get started again. 😆 (Check out the comments.)

Thank you to everyone who came in (a few people people a saw multiple times!)😀 We raised exactly $205.14 today! Thank you to everyone who tipped/donated today! I think I might do this again soon. I will update everyone to when and where the money has been donated.

I don't have much in the way of new photos, or donut ideas tonight! I think I used all of my idea brain cells on today's event. However, we will be making great donuts for you to enjoy tomorrow morning with your family.

By the way, I will "pin" a copy of our text menu. Also, a quick reminder you can always text orders in the evening before. (Takes about 5 minutes) The best part is, you can sleep in till 10, and still get exactly what you want.

We are open at 5am until 12pm. I'll see you at the shop.

In lieu of a new donut please enjoy a thrilling video of me cutting up the super famous Huckle Knuckles!

For the record, I really really wanted to reference Three Amigos again, by calling them "infamous". I think I might have a problem...

08/04/2023

We've still got the donuts!

08/04/2023

Hey everyone I really meant to do a much more professional looking final list for tomorrow's Filled Donut Fiesta. However, today has been a very busy day! All good things just preparing for the fun... Filled.. day. (See what I did there?) It's so crazy even the day is Filled! 🤣 I think I need some sleep! Anywho, on to the list...

Bavarian (Maple or Chocolate Icing)
Strawberry Crunch - Formally know as Strawberry Shortcake
Blueberry
Mocha Buttercream
Raspberry Lemonade
Orange Dream
ButterCrumb
Dutch Apple Pie
Cookies N' Cream
Huckleberry Cream
Birthday Party (Chocolate or Vanilla)
Nutella Cream
Buttercream
Triple Threat (Triple Chocolate)

That's it.... I have to quit! You can't make me add another flavor! 🤪

On to much more important matters! As I finally took the time to look at social media today I saw evacuation alert, after evacuation alert! So tomorrow I will donate all of my tips to help people/animals displaced by the fires this year. (I'll try to make a sign letting people know. (I will post about how much we raised, and where it went probably the local Red Cross.)

We are open 5am to noon tomorrow! See you at the shop!

08/03/2023

08/02/2023

If have to write another post about filled donuts I will be happy because I'm very excited to celebrate the upcoming Filled Donut Fiesta on Friday!

Today's offerings for the spotlight are...

Raspberry Lemonade
and
Coconut Cream Pie

The Raspberry Lemonade honestly came about because I was very tired while filling donuts, and I added lemon filling to a donut I had already put raspberry filling in! 🤦‍♂️ I'm a work in progress
people, but if nothing else... I'm honest. 😃

The Coconut Cream is a "less is more" style of donut. We sinply put coconut flakes into our Bavarian Cream. What does that make? A tasty creamy coconut filling to sink your teeth into!

We are open 5am till noon tomorrow!
I'll see you at the shop!

Don't forget the share contest on the post I pinned to our page. It's your easiest way to get a free dozen! Good Luck!

08/02/2023

Is it just me, or is it the little things in life that some of the biggest joys? My current joy at the donut shop is, getting a new sized donut box to play with!

Today's size was long and skinny, and designed for a dozen donuts. So since the shop was closed, I also had a plethora (Shout out to the Three Amigos!) of filled donuts from yesterday. We filled a new box with donuts, but we ran into a slight problem during testing the boxes. Our donuts are too big... Oh well... I'll figure something out.

On the bright side, here is a photo of the test box!* Don't mind the icing smashed on the lid. That's just the Huckleberry Cream, and trust me, a dozen of these will do an office party good. I'll have more photos tomorrow... Not a tease... I accidentally deleted the "pretty" Huckleberry cream donut photos I took earlier. Until tomorrow you get the photographic evidence that I personally take the taste testing process very serious!

By the way, you can text pre-orders orders to 509-467-6403. 😇🤣

08/01/2023

T-Minus 3 days until our Filled Donut Fiesta! We will have at least 15 different types of filled donuts! If nothing else, as the day goes on you can stop in, and watch an adult lose his mind right in front of you! 😅

I need your assistance please! We need to show filled donuts the same love our fritters get! Share my post from last night for your chance to win a free dozen of best donuts in Spokane! (According to me at least.)

Now on to the donuts!...

The "Orange Dream" Filled is just that, a dream! It is an orange topped donut filled with our wonderful creamy buttercream filling! 🤤 They taste EXACTLY like an Orange Cupcake from Hostess.

If I learned anything from my wife, Rachel it is that we have a duty to put sprinkles on and in as many donuts as possible! Because of this lesson, I present to you... The "Birthday Party" Filled! It's a sprinkle party on the outside.... and on the inside. 🤯They will be available on Friday in your choice of Vanilla and Chocolate icing options on Friday morning.

We are open from 5am till 12pm Wednesday morning! I'll see you at the shop!

08/01/2023

Whew! I got this out there just in time! Here is the official list, but we will have other flavors.

The Strawberry Cheese Cake happened simply because Rachel left some shortbread cookies at the donut shop. Oh my goodness it is a little piece of donut joy!

I could on for a long time, but I'll spotlight a flavor or 2 per day this week.

Nextly, I want to do another share contest! We are giving away 10 dozen donuts! To clarify, 10 randomly selected people who share this post between now and Thursday, August 3rd at 12pm win one free dozen donuts! Help out to make this filled fiesta a monster success!

I'll see you on Wednesday for the donut craze that is our Buttermilk Bites! (Also known as little bites of heaven.)

Good night, or good morning everyone. (Depending on when you read this.)

08/01/2023

It was a very busy afternoon at the shop preparing... and testing for Friday's Filled donut selection.🤤

Here are some photos of the organized chaos!

Full menu will be posted later tonight keep your eyes peeled!👀

I'm thinking of adding a new bar daily.

Zebra - Vanilla with Chocolate Drizzle

Tiger - Maple with Chocolate Drizzle

You can only pick one.... let me know the winner will be on the menu all next week as a test!
