The results are now in for Bashas’ 10th-annual Donut Flavor Craze contest. Two new donut flavors will soon be available in Bashas’ supermarket bakery cases across the state of Arizona – just in time for National Donut Day on Friday, June 6.

Miele K., a 13-year-old from Paradise Valley, Arizona, won first place in the youth category for her Desert Campfire Smore donut, which is a Long John donut with chocolate icing, drizzled with marshmallow crème and topped with graham cracker crumbs and mini marshmallows.

Elizabeth Bouck from Gilbert, Arizona submitted the winning donut in the adult category. Her Donoli donut is a frosted vanilla donut filled with cinnamon cream cheese icing, sprinkled with crushed cannoli chips and chocolate chips and then drizzled with chocolate icing.

As part of its annual competition, Bashas’ invites kids and grown-ups across the state to dream up the best donut flavors for the grocer’s bakery cases. Those interested could submit their ideas for a donut from any of the themes from the previous nine years. They were: Pop Culture, Wacky Donut Flavors, Sweet & Savory, Arizona Themed, Guilty Pleasure, Carnival Flavors, Global Flavors and Retro vs. Future.

A panel of local celebrity judges helped Bashas’ select the winners. The two winning flavors will be available for purchase in Bashas’ bakery cases across the state starting this Friday, June 6. Also on National Donut Day, Bashas’ will donate 10 percent of its donut sales on Friday, June 6 to The Salvation Army, which established National Donut Day in June 1938 to honor volunteers who served the sweet treats to soldiers on the frontlines.

Additionally, guests will receive 18 donuts when they purchase two Don Francisco’s coffee pods or bags.

In addition to being named Bashas’ Official Donut Ambassadors for 2025, Miele and Elizabeth will each receive one dozen donuts every month for a year from Bashas’ bakery, and $500 worth of prizes, including a Bashas’ gift card.

The youth category runner-up is 13-year-old Audrey S. from Tucson, who will receive a $50 Bashas’ gift card for her A Latte Sugar donut, a buttercream filled donut topped with chocolate-coffee frosting drizzled with caramel and a ganache of espresso beans.

The adult category runner-up is Sheryl Keeme from Tempe, who will receive a $50 Bashas’ gift card for her The Salty White Turtle submission. It is a vanilla donut dipped in white ganache, drizzled with caramel and topped with broken pecans and sea salt.

The three honorable mentions in the youth category went to 9-year-old Creedence M. from Buckeye for her Island Kiss Donut; 13-year-old Charlee Y. from Scottsdale for The “Wicked” I Donut of Bashas’ and 16-year-old Braxton B. from Queen Creek for the Chocolate Covered Pretzel donut. The three honorable mentions in the adult category are Shaunna Serfin from Glendale for the Peach Cobbler Crunch submission, Janet Gunderson from Flagstaff for her Cookies and Milk for Santa donut, and Maya Gordon from Chandler for her Coco Mocha Monkey Banana donut. All six will each receive a $20 Bashas’ gift card.
