How about a brief shout-out to a local business instead of my usual Scattered Saturday post? For one reason, I get to talk about donuts. Mmmmm… donuts.
The director and a few others were going to begin building the set for Steel Magnolias at Ilion Little Theatre (ILT) this morning. I sometimes show up for these sessions in hopes that I can be useful, but I rarely am. I know how to use a few tools, but I am no hand at carpentry. However, we all offer our contributions according to our talent. I thought I would offer moral support by bringing donuts.
Being, as I am, Mohawk Valley Girl, I naturally wanted to go to one of those unique local businesses I treasure. For set-building donuts, I like the Friendly Bake Shop in Frankfort, NY. I have several times stopped there for donuts before heading out to ILT.
The first thing I grabbed before the lady waited on me was a loaf of their good Italian bread. Yum! I looked at the donuts in the display case while I waited my turn, pondering. Some might call the decision I reached radical.
“I’m going to make this easy,” I said. “I’ll take a dozen plain.” They just looked really good, and they can be less messy than the powdered or filled ones (not to mention the ones that are powdered AND filled) (the frosted ones can get a little messy, too).
The donuts were a big hit at the set-building. I ate two myself. The guys appreciated the old-fashioned, crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside cakes. I brought three home for Steven.
The Friendly Bake Shop is located at 122 E Main St., Frankfort, New York, phone number (315) 894-8861. they are open 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, 7 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, closed Monday. You can Like them on Facebook.

Sounds awesome. Might be a good idea to hyperlink their name to their website, and their Facebook page to their account. Otherwise you’re sending us lazy folks to do extra work in Google 🙂
I should have linked to their FB page; I tried to link to their website as listed there, but only got to Go Daddy, so I said, oh to heck with it. My bad.
Yeah, that happens sometimes when people get sites built for them and builders don’t explain the domain cost. Facebook it is then!
I like donuts! I even like the word “donuts”! It kind of sounds like “go nuts”, which I have already done! hehe
I never thought of that: go nuts, donuts. I love it!
I had one of those delicious donuts and there are two more to enjoy. Just like Mother use to make and I’m not kidding. Thanks Honey!!
If only I had her recipe maybe I could make them for you. Then again, the folks at Friendly Bake Shop do such a good job, I guess I needn’t bother.
