"A Cupcake is a Cake. This was baked in a cup. It's a Cupcake. It's just really big. Cake vs. Cupcake doesn't denote size." explained another.

New shop featuring hand-made donuts opens on Dixie Highway in time for National Donut Day
Coinciding with National Donut Day, the new Dixie Hwy Donuts in West Palm Beach will celebrate their grand opening on Friday, June 6. This new mecca for the sacred, circular pastry is located on South Dixie Highway about midway between Southern and Forest Hill Boulevards and had a soft opening May 30. The new restaurant is owned and operated by donut veteran Sarah Callis. Definitely not her first foray into the game, Callis has been perfecting her craft for over 25 years and got her start at the iconic, nearly 100-year-old Dixie Cream Donuts in Fort Pierce. Making all of their donuts by hand at the new shop, Callis said they use same yeast dough recipe that the popular Fort Pierce store has been using since 1929. Callis described donuts made using yeast-raised dough as "fluffy, lightweight, heavenly." This is not accomplished without putting in the time and effort. "Yeast donuts are actually a very hard craft. We make them by hand every single night... it's what sets our donuts apart." Honing her skills for years at the shop in Fort Pierce, Callis eventually moved to Pinehurst, North Carolina. There for several years, she opened and ran Southern Angel Donut Company before eventually moving back to Fort Pierce and purchasing Dixie Cream Donuts. Unfortunately, her purchase coincided with the pandemic and she ended up selling the business back to the original owner and set her sights south. Callis said that her two adult daughters still work at the store. Dixie Hwy Donuts will feature 25-plus varieties at all times. In addition to many traditional glazed, cake and filled donuts, they will also have several specialty donuts including the peach cobbler, strawberry shortcake, M&M, Fruity Pebbles, Samoa's, maple bacon, cinnamon rolls, and apple fritters. Callis said the "Apple fritter is hands down one of our most popular sellers." Dixie Hwy Donuts owner Sarah Callis says their apple fritter is a top seller and is often the first thing they sell out of. Get there early! In addition to over two dozen varieties of donuts, Dixie Hwy Donuts will also offer milkshakes and smoothies. Among those milkshakes: Cookies & Cream and the Sin-A-Bun made with vanilla ice cream, crushed cinnamon toast, chocolate and caramel drizzle and whipped cream. Though Callis is confident on the donut side, she said the milkshake idea was her business partner's. Knowing how busy the donut business can get she laughed about her business partner saying "You better pull your pants on… it's about to get crazy." Callis said "I'm very excited to be in West Palm Beach... very blessed and grateful."
