Drop your best seller below for a not so humble brag. What's the story behind it and what makes it special?
Our best seller at our bakeries is our award winning Cinnamon Carmel donut. It has won "overall fan favorite" in America's greatest donut contest multiple years in a row along with many other accolades. The combination of the light caramel glaze and the cinnamon sugar topping make a tasty, and messy ๐, experience that people drive for hours to get.
The Cinnamon Carmel is the first donut our bakery started with. The original Amish couple started selling them on their front porch based on a generations old recipe from her family. Too the road was being blocked by all the people coming to get their donuts so they expanded to a separate building just for the bakery. Locally known as "Amish Crack" and even referenced by other businesses to tie into local culture.
Well year after year these 2 flip back and forth between 1 and 2. With over 165 different scents in our candles there are alot to choose from but our Christmas Tree and our Smoke Eater are at the top 2 year after year. They flip year after year usually. Christmas Tree people buy because they like the scent of Pine trees burning and to smell like a Christmas Tree when they setup their artificial trees for the holidays. Then our Smoke Eater is just the Opposite and gets rid of different odors in a house.
Our best seller this year is our Blind Date with a Witchy Book or Blind Date with an Oracle or Tarot Deck- We've sold over 17,000 of these in 2024!
Our #1 seller, always was, has been & will be is our Classic, aka our raised glazed. This was the donut that started it all & to this day outsells every other donut we do. For some background:
- Our dough is a buttermilk brioche rich with tasty (and pricy) fats like butter, eggs & the aforementioned buttermilk. It is made fresh every morning.
- We use a starter (not sour dough, more an Italian biga) that I've never completed exhausted so she's developed a funky 'tude. She now is over 8 years old. Her name is Scarlett Doughansson.
- The glaze is buttermilk as well.
- The raw donuts are 90ish grams each raw & punched with a 3.5" cutter I've nicknamed John Wick. By the time they reach the counter after proofing, frying & glazing each is over 4" wide and probably weighs a 1/4lb. We are generous with our portions.
- These sell for $4 each & I cannot make enough of them.
Scarlett Doughansson might be the best thing I've heard this week.
Those glazed look spectacular ๐
Mine's pretty boring compared to you guys! My biggest seller was Great Northern Super Crisp, a beer here in Australia. I sold 7634 of those buggers. 8% of my sales. 90863 items sold haha. 585 items available to be sold. A third of my sales is my top ten, I really wish I could sell less products! Here's the results of all those beers
