FOOD – T’S A SOURDOUGH ‘FANG’: CROSSTOWN’S HALLOWEEN RANGE IS ALL TREATS, NO TRICKS
If Halloween had a flavour, Crosstown Doughnuts has bottled it, baked it, and glazed it into three devilishly tempting sourdough creations. Forget candy corn and supermarket sweets, this year’s fright-night indulgence is all about handcrafted artistry, eerie elegance, and the kind of flavours that linger longer than a ghost story.
The Spooky Spider creeps onto the scene first, its golden pumpkin-infused sourdough perfectly spiced and satisfyingly soft. Bite in, and you’re met with a hauntingly rich dulce de leche centre, sweet, buttery, and dangerously addictive. It’s topped with a chocolate spider so realistic it might make you hesitate before taking that first bite (but only for a second).
Then there’s the Matcha Mummy, a green tea sourdough wrapped in delicate fondant “bandages.” Beneath its sugary disguise lies a lush matcha filling, earthy, smooth, and balanced with just enough sweetness to keep things indulgent without overkill. It’s Crosstown’s nod to the more sophisticated side of spooky season.
Finally, the Mummified Raspberry is the rebel of the bunch. Its tart raspberry compote bleeds, beautifully, from beneath a sweet icing shroud, finished with a crumbly “tomb” topping that adds just the right crunch. It’s messy, moody, and absolutely moreish, a doughnut Dracula himself would die for.
Each doughnut is baked, filled, and decorated by hand, staying true to Crosstown’s craft ethos. There’s something wonderfully theatrical about them, equal parts culinary skill and Halloween spectacle. Available in-store and online until early November, these ghoulishly gourmet treats are priced at £5.95 each or 6 for £29.95.
Whether you’re planning a Halloween party, a movie marathon, or just need an excuse to indulge your sweet (and spooky) side, Crosstown’s Halloween range is the perfect way to treat yourself, no tricks attached.
