How To Make Mini Desserts For National Donut Day
National Donut Day isn’t just a delicious excuse to treat yourself (though we fully support that too!). It actually has heartfelt roots: the day was established in 1938 by The Salvation Army to honor the “Donut Lassies,” brave women who served fresh donuts to soldiers on the front lines during World War I. The goal? To bring comfort and a taste of home in the middle of chaos. Since then, Donut Day, celebrated on the first Friday in June, has become a beloved tradition that blends sweet nostalgia with modern creativity.
And what better way to celebrate than by putting a fun spin on tradition?
