This fabulous donut is basically the food equivalent of the epic gold jumpsuit Prince wore at his 2011 “Welcome 2 America” performance at Madison Square Garden. It’s gold and glittery, but it’s also the “king” of donuts (ringing in at $100 apiece), making it the perfect way to honor a prince of the music world.
