Please forgive my lack of process shots, I was totally busy watching like 6 hours of very important Red Carpet Pre-Show.

But I do have to tell you- these took quite a bit of time today. But the result was exquisite. Seriously.

Fluffy donuts filled with light and creamy pomegranate mousse and glazed in a luscious pink pomegranate glaze. And then you have the bright little juicy pop of the raw pomegranate seeds. Totally and completely amazing.
