Press release: It's All-Star basketball season once again. This time, the most valuable player is Dad! Krispy Kreme is giving Dads and basketball enthusiasts a thrilling experience in time for Father's Day as the global brand rolls out its new line of yummy All-Star doughnuts.
I've been such an avid fan of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as a kid. I knew those turtles named after Renaissance art icons by heart and the colors they've known for: Leonardo (blue), Donatello (purple), Raphael (red) and Michelangelo (orange). I'm no stranger to the names Splinter, April O' Neil and Shredder either. All the characters I've mentioned above made my childhood memorable and special. So when I've heard that Krispy Kreme releases a limited edition Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles special doughnuts which had my favorite cartoon characters on them, I really got excited! Krispy Kreme in partnership with Columbia Pictures' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie launches these awesome doughnut pieces with the faces of our favorite characters: Leo, Donnie, Ralph and Mickey. Eating delicious Krispy Kreme doughnuts had never looked so cute!
I remember having figure toys as well as other memorabilia of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Too bad, some of them have been lost due to the flooding brought about by typhoon Ondoy several years ago. I'm now thirty-something but I haven't stopped being a fan of these turtles. I even had my fingernails designed with these lovable turtles. So when I got an invite to attend Krispy Kreme's special blocked screening of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' 2014 Movie, I said yes right away!
The movie was fantastic! It has a lot of action scenes right away so there was no room for dull and boring moments unlike other films I've seen. Although personally if I had a choice, I would've chosen another actress to essay the role of TV reporter April O' Neal rather than Megan Fox. She wasn't exactly a "damsel in distress" in the said film, but I still believe the role she has played was probably given more justice if it had been given to someone else. I was even surprised to see another Hollywood icon, Whoopi Goldberg in the film doing a cameo role as April's boss. Seeing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles come to life on the silver screen not only has allowed me to reminisce my childhood but it had also given me the chance to re-introduce the well-loved characters of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to my beloved Kyle.
Well, Kyle basically knew who they were since I've already passed on my remaining Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toys to him. He had also seen their mascot counterparts at events held by his favorite cable channel, Nickelodeon. However, seeing these totally awesome turtles in a movie was something new to him. Kyle began to understand each turtle's backstory, how they got these superpowers, their mutation, who had saved them and their connection with TV reporter April O' Neal. He even had his own favorite turtle now--Kyle loved Donatello for his brilliance on gadgets and anything techie related. For me, I had always been a Mickey fan for he's the one responsible for bringing the house down each time with amazing punchlines and he's the funniest/naughtiest of them all.
Kyle and I went home that night filled with happy thoughts as we talked about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles some more such as our favorite scenes from the film etc. And it's nice to do those things as we munched on our Donatello and Raphael designed face doughnuts from Krispy Kreme's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles limited edition doughnuts.
So Mommies, what are you waiting for? Get those cute Krispy Kreme Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles doughnuts now while they last. Krispy Kreme TMNT Doughnuts will only be available for a limited time, so you guys better be hurry before they're gone! Don't worry about it being colored green and all. Krispy Kreme's TMNT Doughnuts had that same sweetness of Krispy Kreme's Original Glazed doughnuts but with a few distinction--it had that crispy candy-icing on top (from the TMNT mask) which made eating Krispy Kreme's TMNT Doughnuts even more exciting and fun for kids and those kids-at-heart to eat!

Krispy Kreme, our much-loved doughnut and coffee brand debuts its first store in the South of the Metro at the Alabang Town Center. Located at the posh The Street, the center’s new wing, Krispy Kreme is the most recent addition to the lively establishments in the said alley in Cortes delas Palmas and is snuggled with other high-end food and clothing establishments.
Security Blanket was invited recently to see Krispy Kreme’s first baked creations theater as they celebrate Krispy Kreme’s 75th birthday. The baked creations theater is a first of its kind in Metro Manila that serves the brand’s signature Baked Creations fresh and straight from the oven piping hot, everyday. The Krispy Kreme Alabang Town Center branch also offers a full line of their premium items including the perfect pair of the world-famous Original Glazed Doughnuts and signature coffee.
“It’s been a good six years,” says Mark Gamboa, Krispy Kreme Philippines’ Marketing Director. “We’re excited to finally open a branch here in the south to cater to the thriving community of Alabang. Since we opened our first branch in 2006 at the Bonifacio Global City, there has been continuous clamor for Krispy Kreme to go this side of town, and we’re glad we’ve finally opened a branch here.” Krispy Kreme continues to expand its reach to satisfy the palates of doughnut and coffee fans all over the country.
Krispy Kreme’s Original Glazed doughnut is undeniably still the best-selling doughnut variety. Invited bloggers were like kids in a candy store during the Krispy Kreme on-site branch tour. The eye-catching colors and designs of the donuts on display counter tickled not just our senses…not just our olfactory nerves (with such sweet aroma of freshly baked goodies wafting in the air!) and taste buds as well.
Apple, Strawberry, Custard and Dulce de Leche fillings were such a delight. Who could resist such yummy treats? I was able to try decorating or designing my own Krispy Kreme donut too. Your hands had to work fast once you dip in the donut on the hot chocolate and put on the topping that you want (be it nuts, candy sprinkles, Oreo chocolate chips or whatever), because it dries up easily and when it does, the toppings won’t stick onto the donut. Here's a video of me while I was decorating a donut:

Four Cheese Pull Apart
I’ve tried the new Banana Walnut Kruffin and the Four Cheese Pull Apart. Wow! Am so thrilled to find out that the Banana Walnut Kruffin had a surprise tangy taste inside! The entire Banana Walnut Kruffin had sweet banana and nut taste, except when you get to the whipped cream part—it’s got some zest! In the end, it balances the sweetness of the kruffin and leaves a feeling of cleaning your palate because of the whipped cream’s citrusy effect.
Banana Walnut Kruffin
As for the Four Cheese Pull Apart, it tasted just as heavenly as I had imagined it to be. Nothing really fancy, but it does taste like pizza, only better because it’s softer inside. It looks and tastes like our local ensaymada with four types of cheese.
Cookies & Cream Chocolate Donut
For beverage, I loved their Coffee Jelly. It tastes just right, not too sweet. It’s got that perfectly brewed iced and chilled coffee with whipped cream plus bits and pieces of coffee jellies…ahhh, what can I say? Such a perfect treat for the summer!
Coffee Jelly and Mocha Latte
Krispy Kreme Alabang Town Center opens its doors everyday at 7in the morning and closes until 11 in the evening. So if you’re from that Southern Metro community, you have plenty of time to drop by the store and grab your favorite donuts and coffee.
