The best ideas from the Jewish News’ Design a Doughnut competition are being put to a public vote.
In partnership with the United Synagogue and Carmelli Bakery, we’ve been asking for delicious new doughnut flavours. This week we announce the top five of the more than 300 entries received.
Whisky fans might vote for Simon Wittenberg’s doughnut which will be filled with whisky cream and decorated with chocolate lines to look like a whisky cask. Cake aficionados will be inspired by Heather Marchant and Michelle Watson who thought of a black forest gateau-nut. Rebbetzen Blima Wollenberg of Woodford Forest United Synagogue opted for a nachos-style doughnut with a cheese sauce filling and tortilla chips on top. Jude Marks created an ‘apple crumnut’ with apple filling and a crumble on top. With a controversial entry, Daniel Elias chose a caramel and Marmite doughnut with chocolate drizzled on top.
The winning entry will be turned into a real doughnut by Carmelli’s and sold in the bakery over Chanukah, with a big box of doughnuts delivered to the winner who will be crowned during the United Synagogue’s Rabbi Steady Cook programme on 2 December on TheUS.tv.
Voting is open now via www.theus.org.uk/doughnuts. Votes will close on 1 December.
Richard Verber, communications director at the United Synagogue, said: “The judges found it incredibly hard to narrow them down and were so impressed that we have taken five ideas through to the public vote.
“We can’t wait to taste the winning entry!”

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
