Planet Doughnut will supply a selection of its best-selling flavours at CarFest, taking place at Laverstoke Park Farm.

This latest order comes following a string of high-profile orders for the firm including a request for 16,000 custom doughnuts for the London leg of global superstar Beyonce’s world tour at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The bakery has also created custom doughnuts for the likes of Cartoon Network and Porsche as well as rolling its products out to over 70 Central Co-Op stores across Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Staffordshire,Warwickshire, Worcestershire and Herefordshire. 

Owner Duncan said: “CarFest is a fantastic festival that has raised millions of pounds for children’s charities over the years so we’re delighted to be a part of it this year. The bakery has been a hive of activity as we put the finishing touches to hundreds of doughnuts ready to deliver to Hampshire just in time for the bank holiday weekend and we can’t wait for CarFest visitors to get their hands on the best that Shropshire has to offer! 

“And of course, with founder Chris Evans opting for a largely vegan diet, so we’ll be making sure there’s plenty of our delicious plant-based options on offer too.”
