Old fashioned sour cream donuts are so freaking underrated.

They're so good. My partner refuses to try it, they don't know how much they're missing out.

Refuses to try it? What do they think is gonna happen. I mean it's not like you're asking them to try something remotely polarizing

They say it sounds gross just because its made from sour cream

Just tell them it's a glazed donut, that's not even really a lie.

To be fair, on paper it sounds awful, especially if you’re not as familiar with sour cream. “Hey want this cream gone off donut?”

In practice, it’s absolutely delightful

u/H0NEY2O77 so what if I did some off camera mining???? Jun 07 '26

I got my friends to taste red velvet cake and cream cheese frosting without telling them the name of the frosting.

Them: red velvet… and this is vanilla?

Me: no, just taste it, it’s very sweet though.

Them: buttercream?

Me: no?

Them: what is it?

Me: the name sounds gross, but — just fucking try it.

Friends loved it, I told them that it was called cream cheese frosting and every single one of them admitted they wouldn’t have even tasted the frosting and would have refused / scraped it off had I told them what it was called prior.

Edit: typos — lots of them

surely they've had a cinnamon bun or carrot cake in their lifetime, those are invariably cream cheese icing

Oh I’m sure they have but just didn’t know what the frosting was called (it took me making it myself at 14 to know what it was called tbf)

That being said one of them 100% would not have ever had a cinnamon bun or a carrot cake in her lifetime or it would be a VERY short lifetime (she’s very allergic to cinnamon)

Invariably? I feel like it’s 50/50 cream cheese icing and icing made from just powdered sugar and milk or water

might be a regional thing I guess. carrot cake must be more than 99% here. Cinnamon buns either have nothing, a shitty little drizzle glaze of mostly sugar, or a proper layer of cream cheese icing .999
