Backers helped the soon-to-open Maplewood donut shop raise $10,000
toward new kitchen equipment. With one challenge out of the way, now the
shop's owners can focus on a sweet 'craft donut and beer tasting' event
next week.
Corey Smale and his partners, Tyler Fenwick and Sweet Will, are getting ready to offer Maplewood residents "classic" flavored donuts in addition to a few of their own "creations" at their new shop, Strange Donuts, on Sutton Avenue.
Thursday the trio successfully reached the goal of their $10,000 Kickstarter campaign toward the purchase of kitchen equipment, including a fryer and hood, oven, proofing box, donut cutter, mixer and glazing tables. The fundraising effort took just over two weeks.
Three of the backers pledged more than $500, and will be able to collaborate with chef Sweet Will on a donut to be featured in the shop.
Prior to their May opening, the business partners are hard at work introducing themselves to the community--and they're doing it with some true flair. They recently teamed with The Post to host a pog tournament and hand out donut pop samples.
Next Friday stop by Perennial Artisan Ales, 8125 Michigan Ave., on April 5 for "Strange Beers" a 'craft donut and beer tasting event' Donut flavors, which have yet to be announced, will be paired with four featured Perennial beers. The donut makers will also have a presence at the Maplewood Coffee Crawl on April 6.
