In a few days, we will release our Spring 2010 menu. It will feature a very updated cake menu, tarts, breads, and some very special and innovative additions to our pastry menu.

Also, we will reformat the website, moving our blog to a less prominent spot, reserving it for important news. As we figure it, it’s better to write recipes than blog posts.

Keep in touch!

Just as there is more than one way to spell the word “donut,” there is more than one way to make them. Instead of frying these, we weighed our options and decided to bake them. Instead of using animal products, these are vegan. Instead of spelling it the long way—d-o-u-g-h-n-u-t—we lopped off some letters. A donut is a donut is a donut, or so we thought.

What can be deemed a Donut is far broader than even we imagined. Many, many cultures have their unique donut—Denver vegans (and everyone else!) now have a variety they can call their own.

You can find them at Pablo’s, Paris, Sweet Action (on Doughnut Days, Saturday and Wednesday), Fluid Coffee Bar, and Penn Street Perk.

So, a bigger, better menu! We’ve come up with a lot of new items, just now peering out of our great sacks of flour (not just wheat flour anymore—we now make a few gluten-free goods) long enough to tell you about them!

As fresh berries have disappeared and autumn has arrived, we’ve introduced Oat and Crystallized Ginger, Blueberry and Crystallized Ginger, and Pumpkin-Cranberry scones. Also notable is our new kind of cinnamon roll, with apple slices rolled up into it and walnuts sprinkled on top.  There are pies, more cakes, another few muffins, and breads, too. It especially pleases us to put a Pumpkin Sourdough on the menu.

Among other things, we discovered that it would take too many beets, along with a reduction in chocolate and thus taste, to dye a red velvet cake really red. Usually a lot of food coloring is used and so it’s impossible as far as we’re concerned.

Sweet Action Ice Cream (who always make sure to include vegan options!) will be offering our pies paired with pints of their ice cream for the holidays. Check out their shop on Broadway to pre-order.

People say vegan donuts are a big deal—we’ll see.

The new menu is listed, along with everything else you need to know about ordering and the pastries themselves, on the Bakery page.

Till next time,

You can’t stop the beet.

We answer that question a lot. Since we don’t yet have a storefront, you might wonder where to find Beet Box.

Although you can find a beeting heart behind every ribcage, you can also ask for us at your local coffee shop, if we aren’t already there. For a list of places that carry Beet Box pastries (they’re not “products” — they’re pastries!), check out the Where to Find Us tab.

In the digital world, we maintain a page on Facebook, and Yelp.com.

Expect a new menu soon.
