Day of the Donut
The latest instalment of the Flour Market is a big shrine to the doughie.
Overview
After an epic May bake sale, Melbourne's Flour Market is returning to Sydney, declaring Saturday, July 30 as a celebration for all things doughy with a market dedicated to doughnuts. Day of the Donut, which will honour Sydney's best baked, holey treats, will surely draw crowds from Sydney's furthest reaches to their temporary Surry Hills doughnut shrine.
Vendors will include Brewtown Newtown, Sydney newcomers Short Stop, Aussie mega-chain Doughnut Time and — our personal favourite — Sydney locals Grumpy Donuts, whose wacky doughnut flavours include pink lemonade, sour patch jam and buttered toast. The brown butter frosting and sweet crumbed brioche really does taste like the most decadent slice of toast.
Entry is two bucks on the door, with kids under twelve will be admitted for free. For the very serious doughnut lovers out there, a limited number of Early Riser tickets are on sale for ten bucks, allowing ticket holders entry 30 minutes before general admission.
