This White Day, tell her how you truly feel… tell her with donuts

Feb 27, 2014

With Valentine’s Day over and done with, White Day (14 March) is just around the corner. This is the day in Japan where men are obliged to return the gifts of Valentine’s Day chocolates to the women who gifted them, or else send a clear message that the feeling isn’t mutual by not bothering.

However, many guys have trouble choosing the right gifts for women, so Krispy Kreme Japan is holding a special workshop to teach an exclusive group of guys how to make romantic gifts out of their donuts.

This event is called the White Day Donuts Remake Lesson and is a part of Krispy Kreme Japan’s “Donuts Remake” series of lectures where they teach new ways to enjoy their pastries through creative decoration.

In this lesson on 6 March, food coordinator Ryoko Shimizu will teach guests how to make a “Parfait Tailored Donuts Necklace” and a “Ring Ring Donuts” which are sure to make any girl’s heart melt like a rich sugary glaze.

Unfortunately the application period for the White Day Donuts Remake Lesson has ended on 25 February. Among the applicants, only 10 men will be chosen by lottery and given the chance to learn about and sample these fancy donuts at the Shinetawa, Shibuya Krispy Kreme shop in Tokyo.

As for the rest of us who can’t get in, the donut chain has thrown us a bone and provided instructions on how to make the two treats on their website (link below). Also, we can be sure that more Donuts Remake sessions will be had. Just keep an eye on the Krispy Kreme Japan website for updates.
