The newest concept by Celebrity Pastry Chef Zac Young is serving up customizable donuts and ice cream sundaes in a playful and bright shop

(Mashantucket, CT; April 12, 2024) Sprinkletown Donuts & Ice Cream is officially open at Foxwoods Resort Casino. Celebrity Pastry Chef Zac Young’s newest concept serves customizable donuts and signature ice cream sundaes with a “choose your own adventure” menu, as well as coffee. Guests create their own delectable treats with a variety of fun and flavorful ingredients or enjoy a signature Sprinkletown creation dreamed up by Chef Zac. Decked out with a donut kitchen to watch treats being made to order, Sprinkletown Donuts & Ice Cream is a sweet playground for both kids and adults alike. Designed by Glen & Company, an award-winning architecture, interior design and branding agency founded by architect Glen Coben, the shop is a delicious homage to Chef Zac’s creations, presenting a vibrant three dimensional celebration of sprinkles.

”Sprinkletown’s first pop-up experience back in 2022 was a resounding success, and we are delighted to be celebrating the opening of this brand new location - this time as a permanent fixture within Foxwoods,” said Jason Guyot, President and CEO of Foxwoods. “We look forward to providing a sweet new option for Foxwoods guests, and giving them a unique space to choose their own custom dessert creations.”

The fresh and hot donuts are customizable for guests to pick glazes, sugars, and toppings featuring some of Chef Zac’s favorite ingredients, such as glazes of strawberry lime, nutella, blueberry cheesecake, and burnt marshmallow; flavored sugars of sprinkle, cinnamon, popcorn, spicy, and toasted coconut; and toppings including cookie dough, bacon sprinkles, dried strawberries, and Sprinkletown’s sprinx blend. Guests can enjoy donuts in quantities of three, six, and a dozen, with party boxes with custom designs available. Signature Donuts are available including:

• The Sprinkletown, made with vanilla glaze, sprinkles, and freeze-dried strawberries
• The S'More, made with chocolate glaze, toasted marshmallow, and graham cracker
• The FriedCaken, made with pumpkin spice, candied pecans, and apple caramel - an ode to Chef Zac’s viral dessert sensation, the PieCaken.

Guests can also indulge in limited edition jumbo High-Roller Donuts, including:

• The Madame Piggy, made with honey bourbon glaze, candied bacon, and caramel corn
• The Sprinkletown Supreme, made with strawberry-champagne glaze and gold sprinkles
• The Blueberry Cheesecake, made with blueberry cheesecake glaze, cheesecake bites, and blueberry filling

Ice cream is available in three soft serve base flavors, including vanilla, chocolate, and dairy free watermelon, with the option to be served in a cone or cup. Guests will create their ice cream sundaes with sauce options such as hawt fudge, apple pie, toasted marshmallow, salted caramel, and three different flavors of magic shell; and toppings such as cheesecake bites, honey roasted peanuts, market berries, caramel corn, confetti cake croutons, corn nuts, honey glazed donuts, and four different kinds of sprinkles. Speciality sundaes include

• The FlufferNutella, made with nutella, graham crackers, toasted marshmallow, and candied hazelnuts in a devil's food cone
• The Wake N’ Break, made with chocolate covered espresso beans and honey glazed donuts in a waffle cone
• The Sprinkle Party, made with confetti cake croutons, strawberry sauce, cheesecake bits, hawt fudge, and all the sprinkles

“I had so much fun bringing Sprinkletown Donuts & Ice Cream to life, from the whimsical design to the delicious and nostalgic ingredients on the menu!” shares Chef Zac Young.

Recognized as one of the country's top pastry chefs, Chef Zac Young is known for his playful takes on American desserts, including the all-in-one Thanksgiving sensation, The PieCaken, and for his numerous TV appearances including being on the judges panel of Food Network’s “Halloween Baking Championship,” a finalist in the inaugural season of Bravo's "Top Chef: Just Desserts," and on The Cooking Channel's "Unique Sweets." Chef Zac started a donut revolution during his time as the pastry chef at Flex Mussels, landing on The New York Times’ list of Top Ten Donuts in New York City, and is now returning to creating magic with donuts.
