His newest addition to the Sprinkletown family focuses on customizable donuts and signature ice cream sundaes with a “choose your own adventure” menu and specialty creations.

Guests can choose their own finishes on their fresh, hot donuts with delectable glazes like bourbon honey or strawberry lime glaze, flavored sugars like popcorn or crunchy spicy, and toppings including everything from bacon sprinkles to lucky marshmallows. For the ice cream, guests will choose from four base flavors, including dairy free options, and add their choice of sauce, like hawt fudge and flavored magic shells, and toppings, such as confetti cake croutons and cotton candy pop rocks - with a variety of sprinkles always free. For those who want to trust the expert, the menu features signature Sprinkletown donuts and ice cream created by Chef Zac like the FriedCaken made with a pumpkin spice donut topped with candied pecans and apple caramel glaze, a nod to his signature, viral, all-in-one dessert sensation the PieCaken, the Secret Snack sundae made with caramel corn ice cream, Maker’s Mark butterscotch, honey-glazed donut croutons, and chocolate covered pretzels in a red velvet waffle cone, The Unicorn sundae made with strawberry sauce, cotton candy pop-rocks, and golden watermelon magic shell, and “High Roller” donut creations like the Sprinkletown Supreme made with strawberry-champagne glaze and gold sprinkles.

“Having grown up going to Foxwoods with my father, the resort holds a very special place in my heart" shares Chef Zac. “I could not think of a more fitting location to unveil my newest Sprinkletown concept, which will be a sweet playground for both kids and adults alike.”

Recognized as one of the country's top pastry chefs, Chef Zac Young is known for his playful takes on American desserts, including the all-in-one Thanksgiving sensation, The PieCaken, and for his numerous TV appearances including being on the judges panel of Food Network’s “Halloween Baking Championship,” a finalist in the inaugural season of Bravo's "Top Chef: Just Desserts," and on The Cooking Channel's "Unique Sweets." Chef Zac is eager to return to creating magic with donuts, as he started a donut revolution during his time as the pastry chef at Flex Mussels, landing on The New York Times’ list of Top Ten Donuts in New York City. He previously popped up at Foxwoods Resort Casino with Sprinkletown Bakeshop, which focused on cookies, cakes, ice cream, and to-go treats.

Sprinkletown Donuts & Ice Cream will be located in the Great Cedars Hotel at Foxwoods Resort Casino, across from Cedars Steak and Oysters. The location is set to open in April. To stay updated, follow along on Instagram @sprinkletownshop and visit us at Sprinkletown.com.
