Scott Olson/Getty ImagesMini doughnuts were all the rage a few years ago. My favorite spot in South Tampa shut down a while back but there are still a few shops around the Tampa area where you can splurge... in a small way on this National Doughnut Day.
These shops have shrunk the guilt with over the top flavors from your favorite childhood cereals... to even fair foods like cotton candy. Take a look at this list and decide which one you want to try first.

Bite size awesomeness. If they have them when you visit, be sure to seek out the strawberry cheesecake donut. The apple pie ones are good too.

Try the Fruity Pebble donut. If you like a good basic simple flavor, go with their old fashioned blueberry.

Saw their food truck in New Port Richey at Chasco Fiesta. The red velvet mini was awesome. I'm told the cinnamon sugar is good too.
