ABOUT BLISSBOMB DONUTS

How are BlissBomb donuts different from other donuts?

A:  We set out to make a better donut. One that is small enough to try all your favorite flavors. We found that most donuts are simply soft and sweet, lacking in true, full-bodied flavor. Here’s how we make a better donut:

  1. Conceived and hand made by a professional pastry chef who joined us from Milk Bar
  2. Use real ingredients to create full-bodied, evocative flavors
  3. Baked, not fried, which lets ingredient blossom with aroma and intense flavor, instead of soaking up frying oil
  4. Infusion techniques that add flavor intensity to the donuts, glazes and toppings

Where is BlissBomb located?

A:  We’re in Manhattan's Garment District very near Times Square and Midtown. The BlissBomb bakery is located at 335 W. 38th St., 11th Flr., NY, NY 10018. Just buzz us and we'll bring your order down to you. 

Why did you name the company BlissBomb?

A:  The name inspires us to make sure there’s a burst of delicious, mind-blowing flavor in every bite to bring a little joy to your day. Our donuts stand out for their intense, full-bodied, evocative flavor. And since we're all about celebrating people who bring joy to our lives, we liked how the name inspires people to "bomb" someone special with "bliss." 

Why did you start BlissBomb in NYC?

A:  You go where the talent is. Our executive pastry chef lives in Brooklyn and blew me away with her flavor intuition. She left Milk Bar to get BlissBomb off the ground, so she’s got the flavor, baking and shipping skills to make this business a success. 

Why did you start the company?

A:  I was working for a multinational PR firm and managing teams of people in offices across the country. I realized my best days at work were those when we were killing it as a team – when we were feeding off each other’s creativity. I believe we’re at our best when we’re connected to people who enrich our lives and help us show up as our true selves. I found it incredibly difficult to find creative, delicious, memorable treats to send my team to acknowledge their hard work and celebrate their wins. So I wanted to create a treats brand that makes it easy to recognize and celebrate the important people in our lives fun flavors in a joyful package.

Why did you decide to make donuts?

A:  Donuts are inherently joyful – round, bouncy, delicious and fun to eat with your hands. After trying MANY donuts, we saw an opportunity to make a better donut, and make it more accessible with nationwide shipping. So many products in the edible online gift category – and in the donut industry in particular – are prioritizing softness, sweetness and color over truly distinct flavor. With BlissBomb donuts, we have three layers of opportunity to create amazing, intense flavors – in the base donuts, the glazes and the toppings.

We also wanted to make the brand about more than just donuts. It’s about celebrating the people and experiences that bring you joy. And looking for those opportunities to create mini moments of joy with the people around you.

What flavors do you offer?

A:  Our menu includes 10 full-bodied mini donut flavors and 3 seasonal specialties, ranging from festive themes to timeless treats designed to trigger your favorite memories. Stand out flavors include:

  • Bourbon Citrus: a combination of Wild Turkey, orange juice, orange zest , mulling spices and candied orange peel
  • Brooklyn Blackout: chocolate milk-soaked donut with a rich chocolate glaze and toasted donut crumbs on top
  • Pistachio Rose: roasted pistachios in the donut, rose water glaze, crushed rose petals and pistachios on top

How and where do you sell your donuts?

A:  We built the company, and more importantly the products, to be multi-channel. We offer nationwide shipping in a beautiful gift box with your choice of 12 flavors and choice of a hand-illustrated greeting card for your personal message. We have a growing wholesale, delivery and catering business. And we do the occasional pop-up. Follow us @blissbombjoy for upcoming events. 

How big are BlissBomb donuts?

A:  They’re the perfect size for a guilt-free indulgence. They measure about 2.5 inches in diameter. You’ll get 3-4 bites from each BlissBomb donut. The perfect size to try all your favorite flavors.

Are BlissBomb donuts real donuts, since they’re not fried?

A:  BlissBomb makes real cake donuts. We re-engineered our donut recipes to make our baked donuts look and feel like fried cake donuts. But they have a bigger flavor because there’s no frying oil overpowering the ingredients.

Why do you bake your donuts?

A:  A fried donut absorbs up to 25% of its weight from oil, which masks the flavor of the ingredients. We bake our donuts to allow the ingredients to come to life creating full-bodied base donut flavors.

How much alcohol is in your donuts?

A:  Only a few of our donuts contain alcohol. The alcohol makes up less than 5% of the total weight by volume.

Alcohol is used as a flavoring and, as with any product that contains alcohol: (i) women should not consume alcohol during pregnancy because of the risk of birth defects, and (ii) consumption of alcohol impairs your ability to drive a car or operate machinery, and may cause health problems. Product contains alcohol up to 5% by volume. Product cannot be sold to or consumed by any person under the age of 21. Sale of the product to individuals under 21 years of age is prohibited.

How many calories are in your donuts?

A:  The average calorie range is 150-180. That’s half the calories in a basic glazed chocolate cake donut at popular chain donut shops.

How much sugar is in your donuts?

A:  On average, about 20 grams. That’s half the sugar in a basic glazed chocolate cake donut at popular chain donut shops.  

How much fat is in your donuts?

A:  On average, about 7 grams. This is about a third of the fat in a basic glazed chocolate cake donut at popular chain donut shops, mostly because our donuts aren’t sitting in frying oil while they cook.  

How many grams are your donuts?

A:  On average, about 45 grams. That’s about half the grams in a basic glazed chocolate cake donut at popular chain donut shops.

If I have food allergies, which donuts can I eat?

A:  All of our donuts contain wheat, flour and eggs. Some include nuts, and a few contain a bit of alcohol.

Do you have any gluten free donuts?

A:  We don’t make gluten free donuts at this time, but we are working toward that in the near future.

A:  No, they’re not certified kosher.

 

CUSTOM FLAVORS/DONUT DECORATING EVENTS

Do you do custom orders for events?
A:  Yes! Let our pastry chef create the perfect flavors and colors to match your theme, company logo or occasion. Contact us at customerservice@bliss-bomb.com or 917-936-6251 to see what’s possible.

What happens at your donut decorating parties?

A:  Donut decorating parties can be done via Zoom or in person. Kids love these parties, and they leave with their own donut creations in a pastry box that they decorate, so they can give the donuts as a gift or share them with their friends and family. With their choice of donut, glaze and topping flavors, kids create six donuts of their dreams on their own baking pan. Then they decorate their own pastry box with markers, stickers and other arts-and-crafts supplies. Contact us at customerservice@bliss-bomb.com or 917-936-6251 for more details.

Since people aren't gathering for parties, how can we decorate donuts?

A:  We turned the parties into a mini donut decorating kit that can be sent anywhere nationwide. The kits include 6 vanilla and 6 chocolate mini donuts, 3 flavors of soaks to add moisture and flavor to the donuts (chocolate, vanilla, strawberry), 3 flavors of glaze (chocolate, vanilla, strawberry), 4 types of sprinkles/toppings and 1 pastry box that kids can decorate to hold their donuts or give them as a gift.
