Gooey Donuts offers handmade treats online

The time has come for residents outside the Milton area to experience the gooey deliciousness of Gooey Donuts, which is now offering its handmade cake donuts for sale online.

The small shop near the Food Lion in Milton opened in 2015 and has branched to an online store just in time for the holidays. Owner Doug Ingram said he worked with Washington, D.C.-based The AD Agency to create an interactive website so people near and far can have donuts delivered to their doorstep.

Donuts also can be ordered for weddings and catering events. Delivery takes about two days, Ingram said, but the delay doesn’t take away from the flavor.

Just to check, Ingram said he spent a day in Annapolis, allowing passersby to sample the donuts, which he said were a hit.

Gooey Donuts - which include toppings such as chocolate, nuts, icing and even fruity pebbles and gummy bears - has been a success so far, Ingram said. Enough that the store’s S’mores donut earned the shop recognition as the best donut in Delaware, according to the Food Network.
