In addition to having her creation come to life, Fallon has also been named Bashas’ Official Donut Ambassador and will also receive a $100 Bashas’ gift card and one dozen donuts every month for an entire year.
Ten percent of the proceed’s from the new flavor’s debut day will go to the Salvation Army.
The Bananas Foster Fritter, created by 13-year-old Trinity, earned second place and a $75 gift card to Bashas’.
The third place and $50 Bashas’ gift card winner was 8-year-old Rion for the Salted Caramel & Pretzel Craze doughnut.
The Cupcake doughnut, created by 12-year-old Gracie, was named the people’s choice doughnut based on the Bashas’ Facebook page vote.
