If you think the “luck of the Irish” is a joke, think again.
At the LECPTA Home Tour Auction party in November, Lakewood neighbor and Notre Dame alum Jim McFarlin won the auction to design his own donut for Hypnotic Donuts.
In February, McFarlin met with James St. Peter, the owner of Hypnotic Donuts, to talk about what flavor he wanted to create. As a nod to both his alma mater and St. Patrick’s Day, he requested a Bailey’s Irish Cream flavor. St. Peter and his team came up with a donut with Irish cream filling and a hazelnut icing.
This week, Hypnotic Donuts made good on McFarlin’s win and created the Blarney Stone, which they launched on Friday and will run until this upcoming Friday. As a bonus, all proceeds go to Lakewood Elementary.
The donut was so popular, by the time McFarlin made it to Hypnotic Donuts on Friday, they’d already sold out of the flavor for the day.
Maybe not so lucky after all.
