ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Some sweet news goes a long way during a global pandemic.

Right on cue, Donuts Delite is making donuts with Dr. Anthony Fauci’s face on them.





Dr. Fauci, who’s served in various public health capacities for more than fifty years and served under six consecutive presidents, has been thrust into the national spotlight amid the COVID-19 outbreak.

He’s a member of the White House’s Coronavirus Task Force and also the Director of the National Institute Of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

The donuts completely sold out, and have gone viral throughout the country. However, more of these Fauci-inspired sweets are soon on the way.

Dr. Anthony Fauci has become the face of the Coronavirus Task Force — and now he's also the face of @Donuts_Delite's most popular doughnut.



The shop told CBS News that it's completely sold out of the doughnuts, but plans to make more "all night long." https://t.co/FIQBAdqrg9 pic.twitter.com/8UH81yRsGY — CBS News (@CBSNews) March 26, 2020

This doughnut shop printed Dr. Anthony Fauci's face on edible paper and placed it on top of a buttercream-frosted confection. The Rochester, New York, store never thought that this simple idea would explode into nationwide demand. https://t.co/Zc9Mbn310P — CNN (@CNN) March 26, 2020

Donuts Delite opened at the original Empire Boulevard location in 1958 and was originally operated by the Malley Family from 1958-2005. Salvatore’s Pizza revived the donut shop in Rochester on January 16, 2010.
