From an email:
“Whether you call them bizcochos, bunuelos, sonho, roscas, or sopapillas, donuts are universally loved! That is why Miguel Guerra (father) and Miguel Guerra (son) are teaming up to re-create the special Latin American donut pop-up shop, which has been a nationwide hit in Colombia, Donisima.
“I am very happy to team up with my dad in this new culinary project,” said Miguel Guerra. “We wanted to do something different and special yet highlighting our cultural roots. Donuts are comforting, tasty, and as varied as people are, so we thought this would be fun. Our small batch process allows us to concentrate on taste and play with more creative local and native ingredients and flavors. These donuts are one-of-a-kind.”
Currently operating in a ghost kitchen in the Union Market District, Donisima is a modern artisanal donut shop taking the classic donut to a completely new level. The donuts are made with the finest ingredients and feature pleasing designs. The pastries will come in different varieties including cake, brioche, crullers and many more.
Tempting options paying homage to Latin American regional flavors and ingredients include:
The Classic, made with vanilla bean glaze
Rum Fashion, made with brioche donut filled with rum pastry cream topped with orange confit and 55% chocolate
Arequipe, a brioche donut with arequipe, or Colombian dulce de leche, glaze and cream, topped with queso fresco streusel
Guava and Cheese, a brioche donut filled with guava infused cream and topped with cream cheese frosting and coconut streusel.
Amor al Chocolate, a brioche donut with chocolate glaze, filled with chocolate and topped with cacao and hazelnut streusel 24kt gold leaf
