Success for junior doughnut designer

Isabelle Parry with her winning doughnuts

A 10-year-old girl from Littleborough has won a competition to design personalised sweet treats, courtesy of Rochdale Riverside’s Dunkin’ Donuts store.

Isabelle Parry took part in the summer challenge to dream up the decoration and filling for six new doughnuts, which were then professionally produced at Dunkin’ Donuts manufacturing HQ.

The design was a pretty rainbow and clouds and the filling of choice was vanilla with coloured icing and she was thrilled when she collected her prize.

She said: “I love Dunkin’ Donuts, so when I found out I could have the chance to design my own, I was really excited.

“I love rainbows and the shape of a doughnut was perfect to draw one on. My favourite filling is vanilla but I wanted to add more colour on the outside with sprinkles too.

“I couldn’t believe it when I won!”

Liam Peters, Dunkin’ Donuts store manager, said: “We had loads of amazing entries to our design a doughnut competition and it was wonderful to see the children really going all out with some fantastic creations.

“As ever, there could only be one winner and after hours of deliberation, we finally settled on Isabelle’s entry.

“The colours and design really stood out and who doesn’t love a rainbow. We hope Isabelle enjoys her well-deserved prize.”

Rachel Byrne, centre manager at Rochdale Riverside, said: “Dunkin’ Donuts is a firm favourite with shoppers here at Rochdale Riverside and lots of children jumped at the chance to get creative.

“Isabelle was over the moon when she saw the finished doughnuts and, I have to say, vanilla is my favourite too.”
