Somerset Hills Scouts Decorate Donuts For Battered Women

BERNARDSVILLE/BEDMINSTER, NJ — Girl Scouts from the Somerset Hills area frosted and decorated donuts to help the Jersey Battered Women’s Service of Morristown (JBWS) celebrate Valentine’s Day.

The scouts — from Bernardsville, Basking Ridge, Far Hills, Bedminster and Peapack-Gladstone — adorned dozens of donuts with “edible,” candy jewels such as diamonds, pearls and a variety of glittering, colorful sprinkles.

The baked goods were donated by Duck Donuts of Green Brook, while Diamond Dream is donating the edible jewels. Diamond Dream and owners Edward and Faina hosted the event.

Diamond Dream also collected donated items from the JBWS “Wish List” which they delivered along with the Valentine’s-themed decorated donuts.
