Lard Lad’s Big Pink Doughnut {Copycat}

A couple of week’s ago, I was lucky enough to sink my teeth into the real Lard Lad’s Big Pink Doughnut, which can be found in Orlando Florida at Universal Studios! You may remember Lard Lad’s Donuts from The Simpsons, as a place Homer used to frequent regularly. At Universal Studios they have a whole Simpsons area, and we quickly stumbled upon Lard Lads, where we had to try the ‘Big Pink’. Thank you Universal Studios for sponsoring this post today, however all opinions are my own.

I know my Copycat Lard Lads Big Pink Doughnut doesn’t look EXACTLY the same, but it tasted just like it and was majorly delicious (scroll all the way down for recipe)! Of course, what happens when you get a bunch of food bloggers together?!

Like I mentioned earlier, I visited Universal Studios with about 13 other blogger friends. It was a great time, and we were lucky enough to visit the parks as well as stay on site at Cabana Bay Hotel. It was such a fun hotel; it had a total retro theme, with all the modern updates! Their pool was so amazing with a waterslide and lazy river, and surrounding the actual pool was sand! I loved that!
