------------------------------------
Krispy Kreme is a household name when it comes to airy, light, sugary perfection, but many people don't know that these special doughnuts have been around since the 1930s. While the factory that mixes up the trademark batter is closed to the public, the flagship store in Winston-Salem, N.C., is just one of the full-service stores that offers a window into the Krispy Kreme universe. This store was the first to showcase the production process of these tasty treats, allowing visitors to place their order and grab a spot at the window for a live presentation of the donut theater. Many will argue that the original glazed is still the best choice, but there are a variety of chocolate-dipped, crème-filled goodies to choose from. True diehards can share their passion for Krispy Kreme with their bride or groom with a custom-made Krispy Kreme wedding cake - fans pay up to $400 for this special tower of donuts.
