The heavenly scent of fresh, warm donuts; the classic pink bakery box that holds so much promise, and so many choices;  the waiting in line trying to decide if it will be an old-fashioned plain, or maple bar or maybe an apple fritter. Then there are the toppings – rich caramel-colored maple frosting, dark chocolate with sprinkles, or maybe a simple dusting of powdered sugar. The crinkle of the baker’s paper as each donut is carefully lifted from its nest among the other donuts in the case and dropped gently into a bag or box.
