Amazing art event recap

For those of you who missed it, today's event - Donuts and Nurses and Art, Oh My - was loaded with unusual fun. Where else can you find donut and nurse-themed original artwork for as little as $40? If you didn't get a chance to check it out, we'll continue with this art theme throughout the summer. So you've still got some time...

A special thanks to Christine Benjamin, artist extraordinaire - who also set up her painting studio - live - in front Psycho Donuts.

Thanks also to Trina Merry, and her wildly cooperative body painting model. It was an amazing transformation in the Psycho Cell. The model started as a blank white canvas, and was transformed into an amazing piece of art. Sources indicate that the model is still taking a shower.

Hope to see you soon at Psycho Donuts!

Donuts and Nurses and Art, Oh My!

When we started Psycho Donuts a year ago, we never imagined that artists would paint original works inspired by donuts and nurses... just because we asked.

But that's exactly what has happened. And that's also why we are ecstatic about this Saturday's event called Donuts and Nurses and Art, Oh My! Where else can you find trippy, original artwork starting for as little as $40? Only at Psycho Donuts, this Saturday - May 15 - starting at 10am.

Check out original affordable artwork by local artists - like Christine Benjamin, Lacey Bryant, Michael Foley, Sheri DeBow, Eric Joyner, Simon Salas, Murphy Adams, Nic Caesar, Michael Borja, John Hageman, Michelle Waters and more.

Artist Trina Merry will entertain audiences with her live body painting and artist Christine Benjamin and Ivy Atoms will be on-site painting some cool creatures on canvas!

And of course, we'll have our insane collection of donuts, including Crazy Face, Headbanger, and S'mores (rated one of the Top 10 Donuts Coast-to-Coast by Maxim Magazine).

So mark your own psycho calendar, and join us this Saturday, May 15, for Donuts and Nurses and Art, Oh My! Starting at 10:00am, and only at Psycho Donuts!

In other crazy news, we have some special Dementables of the Week for your culinary donut pleasure - The Psycho Passionata is a raised donut filled with a white chocolate passion fruit. And our vegan friends have been asking us to amp up the craziness of our vegan goodies. This week, the vegan department of Psycho Donuts is featuring the Kooky Vegan. This vegan bad boy is topped with chocolate icing and Oreo® Cookies. Special thanks to our friend Danny at Streetlight Records in San Jose for sharing some veganology lessons with us.

Is Your Mom Da Bomb?

This weekend, Psycho Donuts is honoring all crazy moms. Which probably includes your own mom. And let's face it, if your mom is crazy, it's probably your fault.

On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday only - bring your crazy mom to Psycho Donuts for something unusually unusual this Mother's Day weekend.

For starters, there's A Mother's Love. This uncharacteristically nice donut has a raspberry glaze complete with a Mom tattoo. This is the one tattoo you'll never regret! And just like your own mom, it's full of everything that good and sweet - in this case - a homemade white chocolate, passion fruit filling.

Our second Mother's Day donut is the bomb. No, seriously, it's Da Bomb. Because your mom is da bomb! Bomb squads have already figured out that this particular explosive can only be dismantled orally. If you refer to the technical diagram to your right, you'll see that the detonation device is an Oreo Cookie® bomb over a cherry-red glaze. But what really makes this donut explode is its gourmet chocolate filling. Show your mom she's da bomb, only at Psycho Donuts!

Want to win a free Psycho Donuts memoir this Mother's Day weekend? Follow us on Facebook or Twitter to learn how.

Come and get your Mother's Day donuts this weekend only - Friday, Saturday, and Sunday - and give that crazy mom of yours a big psycho hug!

May the Fourth be With You!

Tuesday is Star Wars Day, and we just couldn't contain ourselves. The Psycho kitchen was busy this past weekend. We prototyped an R2Donut, C3P0nut, and even Luke/Leia fraternal twin donuts (but that got weird fast). Ultimately, we became obsessed with Chewbacca. And so it is with great fanfare, that we introduce The Psycho Wookie. Our glazed wookie has a coat of fur fashioned from coconut and cinnamon. With donut hole eyes and a cookie nose, he's the cutest wookie this side of Naboo. He's the wookie with a cookie. But Psycho Wookies are hard to find in this galaxy, and you'll need to come early on Tuesday to get one. May the 4th be with you!

And since it's May, baseball season has officially arrived at Psycho Donuts. We'd like to thank our very own Psycho Donuts Little League team in Campbell - for coming up with the idea and name of our new baseball donut -- The Suicide Squeeze. You'll definitely want to catch this one before the season is over. Filled with chocolate, The Suicide Squeeze is topped with either Oreo Cookie® dust or Whopper® dust. Welcome to the Psycho Field of Dreams. We've built it, will you come?

We're Going Off the Rails on a Crazy Plane!

Its tough for airplanes to fly through volcanic ash; that's a fact the world has recently discovered... painfully. At Psycho Donuts, however, things are a little different. Our crazy plane has made it through the volcanic ash, and will be returning safely to Psycho Donuts on Thursday, April 22. Please extend a volcanic welcome to our current event donut, The Eyjafjallajökull Avenger!

It's not every day you see a glazed airplane donut covered in malted milk ball ash... but it's also not everyday you see an Icelandic volcano destroy international trade either. So we felt it was our obligation to memorialize this historic event with an edible memento.

Come get one on Thursday at Psycho Donuts. Wanna get yours for free? Follow us on Facebook or Twitter to learn how! Hurry, because once the volcanic ash is gone, so is the donut.

In other insanity, we thought Stanford was crazy when their late night cafe, The Dish, began selling Psycho Donuts. But then the insanity grew. The Axe & Palm Cafe began selling Psycho Donuts. And now the madness has reached a deafening climax - as Psycho Donuts launches at Latenite at Lakeside. How convenient for Stanford students. Walk in any direction late night, and you'll bump in a Psycho (...donut, that is). Psycho Donuts is thrilled to be part of Stanford Dining!
