Minute Meditations: an ode to the Boston cream

The Boston cream donut surpasses all other pastries. Many donuts, covered with frosting and sprinkled toppings, lack originality. The Boston cream’s blend of flavors and textures surprises every taste bud. While a typical donut lacks a center, Boston creams do not skimp on filling. They do not fall flat like a cake, but rise like a doughy cloud. Inside this cloud holds the secret to the Boston cream’s excellence: Its pudding center. Each bite forces the cream to ooze out in lava-like fashion. The only possible downside; the Boston cream donut always leaves you yearning for more.
