I hate to upset the Krispy Kreme fans out there, but if you’re eating their doughnuts, your standards are low.

I got a Krispy Kreme Strawberry Sprinkles Doughnut and I’d have to say it is one of the worst doughnuts I’ve had in Australia.

What made it so bad was the icing. It tastes incredibly fake. It was horrible. And I don’t think this is me being snobbish. Maybe I’m just used to the nice icing my mum used to put on cakes when I was younger.

Seriously, next time you have a Krispy Kreme doughnut, don’t just shove it in your gob. Think about it. Try the icing separately. Then go and get a doughnut from a different bakery, preferably one of the places that take care about the doughnuts they make. There are plenty in Sydney. I hope you’ll understand the difference.

Now, you might be wondering why I had a Krispy Kreme doughnut if I dislike them so much. I got it for free (as did my colleagues) as a thank you from an employer.
