“I had nothing but high expectations when I found out that Rod was doing donuts. I did say to myself, though - “how could you possibly do anything different to what is already out there!?”
Well, f^*k me! I didn't expect the shape and the feeling after you ate a whole donut! The dough was so light a fluffy and raspberry flavour was simple and classic, not over the top, and recognisable for all ages as my kids smashed them! We received seven donuts and they were gone in a matter of minutes!
We can't wait to get more!!
Delicious. Divine. Dust.

SBS Food: Dust Story
"We started with 90 [doughnuts] and then that sold out within two hours," he says. "So the next week, we went to 150, and we sold out again." For Dust Donuts' third week of operation, he decided to prep 200 pastries. "I think I'm at capacity"...

"Dust Donuts, by ex-Oakridge chef Rod Shokuhi, is a particularly focused project. Shokuhi's doughnuts are "lady fingers" (shaped more like an eclair) and come in just two flavours: classic and raspberry, dusted in powdered sugar"
