One can only drive by a tasty looking place with curiosity for so long. This one, I would say about 2 years. What took me so long you ask? Children cover your eyes... I don't really like doughnuts. It's not personal. A few years ago I cut out fried food, and that was one of the things that went. Every once in a while I have a craving, so I go for it. This was definitely worth that craving!
Located on 12300 South just west of I-15 is a wonderfully cute little shop called Beyond Glaze. They recently opened in Salt Lake as well, but since I was on my way to work I decided to stop at the one in Draper. I believe it was the first shop in that plaza, but is now surrounded by a sub shop, a Chinese restaurant, and a salon of sorts. Perfect right? Lunch, spa, dinner, and dessert!! or better yet, breakfast, lunch, spa, and dinner all in one spot!

Walking inside all I could think was "oh this is so cute!" There is a lovely little awning that covers the kitchen door behind the display case. Then your eyes are completely overwhelmed with the beautiful doughnuts and pastries. I really wanted to buy one of each just to have a taste. At 1.85$ a piece I decided it was best if I just picked the ones I really wanted to try first, then I could come back another craving. How does a food writer even begin to explain the vibrant frosting colors used to design the tops of these doughnuts? Or the delicate touches used to create the flavors that are listed on the name tags? These are not your mothers doughnuts!! 
No surprise I had to try a s'mores! These are all basic glazed doughnuts by the way. This one was topped with chocolate drizzles, carefully placed graham crackers, and of course marshmallow fluff! This tasted more simple than it looked, which was perfect because my teeth should have already been hurting just looking at them right? Then I gravitated towards the red velvet. Honestly, I was a little underwhelmed by this one, it really just tasted like a basic cake doughnut. However, the frosting on top was very cute. And for the grand doughnut of all grand doughnuts... wait for it... topped with chocolate drizzle and sugared bacon!!! Yes folks, I said it, bacon. I could definitely eat another one of these. Maybe even two. I have no idea how they made the bacon the way they did, but it was cooked perfect and the sweet with the salty is one of my all time favorites. There was at best 20 flavors to chose from. From savory to fruity. 
Cake decorators were the ones that came up with this idea. Who wouldn't want to have beautiful doughnuts for their business meeting, wedding luncheon, or even at their wedding?? How fun!! Now remember, stop for breakfast(the first doughnut), then the salon, then lunch, and maybe even back for another doughnut!
Yummy :) looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a cute little place :) Are they a franchise or a locally owned place?
