This is by far my favorite cronuts post ever. Clearly not all fake cronuts are made alike.
Following the news that Food Emporium had jumped on the Cronut bandwagon, Eater headed out to try to obtain some of the so-called “creme filled croissant donuts.” The Hell’s Kitchen Food Emporium apparently sold out of their supply yesterday, but at 12:30 p.m. the Union Square Food Emporium had a counter full of fake Cronuts in four different flavors and absolutely no line. Maria, the friendly woman behind the pastry counter, reported that the knockoffs were a hit, and that just today they’d already sold around 100. So how do these croissant donuts hold up to the real deal?
Check out what Eater had to say!

Chef Ansel Makes CRONUTS on Jimmy Fallon
New York pastry chef/international cronut king Dominique Ansel went on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon to make his signature pastry last night: “I’m going to show you in two minutes what we do in three days.” Fallon can hardly contain himself, practically squealing when Ansel dumps a huge slab of butter on the Cronut dough. At least Questlove — who introduced Fallon to the pastry — proves useful, earning an Ansel seal of approval on his fry job. (Questlove knows a thing or two about frying.)

Here’s what’s new in the world of SoHo’s Dominique Ansel Bakery and Cronut Mania:
