Original Filled Doughnuts<\/a>, Krispy Kreme quickly introduced a vibrantly colored twist to celebrate its 82nd birthday — an Original Glazed filled with birthday cake batter, topped with strawberry icing, and garnished with psychedelic sprinkles. Party hat not included.<\/p>\nHow is it?<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n
Krispy Kreme\u2019s birthday cake batter is second only to its Original Kreme filling, and quite frankly it might be tied for first. I was elated when I heard it was filling its OG with this beautiful concoction, and as usual with KK there\u2019s plenty of it stuffed inside the humbly-sized doughnut. Unfortunately, the strawberry icing is so overpowering that I can hardly taste the filling, and it\u2019s only distinguishable by its slight custard-y texture among the various layers of sweetness.<\/p>\n
Speaking of sweetness, this doughnut is absurdly sweet. If you\u2019re familiar with the Original Glazed you know it\u2019s sugary, but the gentle yeast flavor still manages to poke its way through the layers of sweetness. That’s not the case here with the aggressive flavor of artificial strawberry taking over everything in sight. Glaze + batter + strawberry = too much.<\/p>\n
Is there anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n
I guess it should come as no surprise that a single doughnut clocks in at 39 grams of sugar because that\u2019s damn near all I can taste. With the Original Filled Doughnuts, I had feared that they might be too sweet, but they didn’t go overboard. However, with the Birthday Batter version, KK tried to \u201chave its cake and eat it too\u201d and created a bit of misguided monster in the process.<\/p>\n
Conclusion:<\/h3>\n
This doughnut looks incredible. The two-toned sprinkle explosion with pink-on-tan contrast and squiggle drizzle is stunning, but this birthday treat is all looks and no balance, with the end result being a rush for some water and a pending tummy-ache.<\/p>\n
