Even after things eased up, only one person at a time could work in the building\u2014and it was usually Glenn Severance, Pearl-Mansman\u2019s business partner.<br \/>\nWork was completed just before Pearl-Mansman\u2019s second daughter, Georgia, was born.<br \/>\n\u201cI never anticipated opening a storefront during a pandemic, let alone while nearly nine months pregnant, but here we are,\u201d she said.<br \/>\nDarling Doughnuts are made from a yeast-based dough that ferments for 15 hours before it is ready. It is a long, slow fermentation, she explained, like sourdough but without a sourdough taste.<br \/>\nThe doughnuts are made with fresh natural ingredients sourced within 100 miles of the shop and flavored with \u201creal things.\u201d The yeast dough gives a better texture, making a \u201cvery fluffy\u201d doughnut, Pearl-Mansman said. <!--more--><br \/>\nThis is Pearl-Mansman\u2019s first business venture. She studied art and philosophy in college and begin thinking about starting a business a few years ago. She didn\u2019t want to work full time and began baking and selling from home.<br \/>\nOn Broadway, she works \u201cmore than full-time,\u201d she said.<br \/>\nThere are more than 50 glazes and flavors available on a regular rotation basis. Flavors change weekly and are posted on Tuesdays on the business Instagram and Facebook pages. Coffee\u2014fair trade and roasted in Pennsylvania\u2014is sold by the cup or by the bag.<br \/>\nThe shop is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. or until the doughnuts are gone.<br \/>\nCustomers can pre-order for Wednesday or Thursday pick-up through the shop\u2019s website, darlingdoughnuts.com, after 6 p.m. Custom orders can be placed by email, d&#97;&#114;&#x6c;&#x69;&#x6e;gd&#111;&#117;&#x67;&#x68;&#x6e;u&#116;&#115;&#64;&#x67;&#x6d;&#x61;i&#108;&#46;&#x63;&#x6f;&#x6d;, or through the \u201ccontact us\u201d section of the website.
