AACE Catches up with Mayly Tao aka the Donut Princess!
420 Royalty
Not only does Donut Princess rule, but she is also a force for change.
Mayly is offering her amazing 420 Donuts again this year! We caught up with this frosted goodness the other day and got all the information on ordering her 420 donuts, you will want to get on the list for your special events on 420 and for any occasion that needs that “THIS IS AWESOME” from your guests.
What are the flavors available?
We currently offer a mixed 4/20 Themed Dozen that contains a specialty mix of cannabis-themed donuts ranging in white chocolate, chocolate, and mint. Toppings include 4/20 friendly fruity pebbles, Ferrero Rocher, mixed sprinkles, and cinnamon sticks (to represent the blunt lol). All donuts are on classic yeast donuts and come in a matte pink box.
How soon should we order?
Email me directly: mayly@donutprincessla.com or for orders going directly to clients, you can order on our website: donutprincessla.com
Pre-orders start now until 4/11 and pickup/delivery only on 4/20 or before 4/14
Catching up with Mayly!
What is new in your world? What have you been doing during covid?
I've started up a fleet on Turo, an AAPI dedicated Tiktok called Teochew Daily (teaching the youth a lost dialect of Chinese), creating my own agency, continuous podcasting (if you know of any guests that fit under women empowerment, small business, sharing AAPI stories, holler at me), and continued to create donut bouquets. My mom decided to retire and we sold the store, but I still have my donut princess concept.
Are there collaborations you want to mention?
We've done some wonderful collabs in the past with Tommy Chong, VET CBD, Jungle Boys, Atrium, Stiiizy, High 90s, and Harvest!
I did a campaign with Toyota and Eddie Huang to share my new initiative "Lunchboxes for Love" where we donated 500 meals to local Asian American hospitals in the area. In 2020, we donated over 2,000 meals to 30 hospitals in the Southern California area.
"The Donut King Documentary" hit Hulu as well as a new global audience in Japan.
And what about Mayly’s MOM?
My mom decided to retire and here's our announcement video:
