Say “Happy Birthday America” With These Upstate New York Donuts!

The donut makers of America always have fun when it comes to celebrating with their customers during a holiday.  We have all seen (and eaten) their masterpieces.  Green shamrocks and icing for St. Patrick's Day.  Beautiful orange and browns (and turkeys and Pilgrims) decorating a pumpkin donut for Thanksgiving.  Yellow bunnies and colorful eggs on top of donuts for Easter.  Christmas time is wild and wonderful with all sorts of holiday themes decorating donuts, from Santa Clause to elves and stockings and toys.  And Halloween?  Forget about it.  That is when the donut makers of Upstate New York really let their freak flag fly!

So lets take a look at donuts on the Fourth of July.  Red, white, and blue is the color scheme and they are all beautiful.  Here are a dozen great donut bakeries all across Upstate New York.  We looked from the Hudson Valley to western New York for the best, and to see what they are offering us up this year for "patriotic donuts."

The results are these dazzling photographs.  They will make your mouth drool, guaranteed.

So Happy Birthday, America!  We hope all of our readers celebrate our Independence Day with family, friends, fireworks, and fun, as well as some yummy red-white-and-blue donuts!
