A baker’s dozen: Noteworthy Connecticut doughnuts

Deviant’s doughnuts are elaborate, creative and innovative, highly sought after and perfectly poised for Instagram photos. The intricate doughnuts often follow themed weeks, with recent pink, red and heart-adorned Valentine’s varieties; an all-vegan menu in early March; a “wanderlust” lineup with internationally-inspired recipes and a Harry Potter menu, with “Hedwig” and “butterbeer” flavors.
