"We wanted it to be a place where you go, where you hang out," Fox said. "It's a destination."To do this, the two women took inspiration from music, art and all things vintage. The shop often looks to bands for ideas for doughnut names and flavors -- they also cater to bands playing around town, including, on one occasion, Â Miley Cyrus. Hanging on the walls of the shop is art for sale, painted by their own baker. And of course, the love of vintage is seen in almost every piece of decor in the place.
"We combined everything we've ever loved," Fox said.Fox and Birch, who have been close friends for the past 25 years, got the idea for Glam Doll Donuts from similar places on the West Coast. They decided Minneapolis needed to catch up with a fun and funky shop. For them, doughnuts were an obvious choice.
"Doughnuts just seemed to be our calling," Fox said.Â

"We try to do things that are a little out of your box of what you'd imagine for a doughnut but not so crazy that  it doesn't actually taste good," Birch said.The unique and daring flavors and vintage vibe has brought national recognition to Glam Doll Donuts. In addition to being named Best Doughnuts in Minneapolis by CityPages, the shop was also named in the Ten Tastiest Doughnut Shops in the country by USA Today.
"It's exactly what we imagined in our wildest dreams," Birch said.Photos via: Glam Doll Donuts and Rebecca Mariscal
