Do people really celebrate this day?

Yep you bet cha! In fact true doughnut lovers make it a point to host doughnut parties in honor of this day. We've been told that doughnut making parties are popular for large groups. These parties go all day long because doughnut making is not a quick thing to do. These parties are filled with eager participants sitting at tables filled with melted sugar, chocolate, cream filling, sprinkles and powered sugar for filling and dipping.

Wikipedia tell us "Many cultures have dishes made by deep frying dough of one form or another. Doughnuts are a type of fried dough food" that most all cultures are happy to eat.

Another way to celebrate this holiday is by meeting up with your friends and family at a doughnut shop and enjoying cream filled doughnuts with your favorite cup of coffee.

Pictured above is the Boston Cream Doughnut

The Boston cream doughnut (sometimes written with "donut" or "creme") is a doughnut with chocolate frosting and a creamy vanilla or custard filling: the mini-ature version of the Boston Cream Pie. The Boston cream donut was designated the official doughnut of Massachusetts in 2003 after the Boston cream pie was chosen as the state dessert in 1996. They are made with sugar, butter, flour, whole milk, vanilla, and eggs.

Do you need more doughnut facts?

A doughnut or donut ( /ˈdoʊnət/ or /ˈdoʊnʌt/) is a fried dough food and is popular in many countries and prepared in various forms as a sweet (or occasionally savory) snack that can be homemade or purchased in bakeries, supermarkets, food stalls, and franchised specialty outlets. They are usually sweet, deep-fried from a flour dough, and shaped in rings or flattened spheres that sometimes contain fillings. Other types of dough such as potato can also be used as well as other batters, and various toppings and flavorings are used for different types.

The two most common types are the toroidal ring doughnut and the filled doughnut, a flattened sphere injected with jam (or jelly), cream, custard, or other sweet fillings.
