Nothing is better than a fresh doughnut....except a fresh doughnut with good ice cream sandwiched between it. That is what was on the try menu on our recent trip to Chicago. We first saw this marvelous desert on You Tube. After watching the program, there was no way out, we had to have it! As we pulled up, on what was a somewhat chilly evening, we noticed a line out the door.Firecakes has a small storefront only big enough for maybe ten people to fit through the door. They sell some very original donuts along side some doughnuts that look familiar but are kicked up a notch. Some of their varieties of doughnuts are, Valrhona Chocolate Iced, a seasonal fritter, wildflower honey glazed, and even some that rotate dependingon the season.
We got a Classic Sandwich. The Classic Sandwich features a honey glazed doughnut with ice cream and Valrhona Chocolate Sauce on top of the ice cream. The only variation I made was choosin pistachio ice cream. They have a choice of 4 doughnuts and three ice creams.They also have nine toppings you can choose between. Next time I will choose the vanilla ice cream, but other than that, it was a scrumptious treat. Even the chilly wind couldnt change that!
Firecakes has four locations and a food truck. You can find them on the web at:firecakesdonuts.com
