Boy, these sure looks heavenly!

I can’t imagine how sweet this would be! I haven’t tasted it but from the looks of it, this won’t be good for diabetics, I assume. I am one of those (almost) diabetic but I would want to try one at least. Because just looking at the photos makes my mouth water already! I don’t like that SUPER sweet desserts though (that’s why I still wonder up to now why my blood sugar went up), but Hubby does so maybe he can eat the half of my donut?

Here are the chocolate donut selections:

ETA: Hubby and I couldn’t help it. We gave in. We tried these donuts last night and boy, it was heavenly! I liked the one with vanilla kreme filled most. Yum!

We are inviting everyone to view Jaime Zobel’s latest exhibit entitled Surfaces, which will run until December 14 in Artspace, 3F Glorietta 4, Ayala Center.

Artist’s statement
In Surfaces, I inquire into the nature of texture to produce fusions of the old and the new –these photographs focus on architectural and decorative art details, mostly from the past centuries and taken during my recent trip to Europe. These images are combined with contemporary backgrounds to form juxtapositions and oppositions that are meant to reveal the essence of my interpretations and understanding of appearances and exteriors.

For more details, please call 7527000.
