Kane’s Handcrafted Doughnuts is on a roll.
Last week, the local doughnut shop placed a friendly wager with Five Daughters Bakery in Nashville ahead of the playoff game between the New England Patriots and Tennessee Titans. Because the Titans lost, Five Daughters will soon send a dozen of its most popular doughnuts to Kane’s in Boston and at least one baker must pose for a picture while baking doughnuts in the winning team’s jersey.
“It feels good, the taste of victory,” Kane’s co-owner Maria Delios told Five Daughters in a video posted on social media on Tuesday. Then she bit into a Boston cream doughnut.

Now, as the Patriots prepare to play the Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC Championship Game, Kane’s has placed a bet with Good Dough, a doughnut shop in Jacksonville. The wager is the same: a dozen doughnuts and a photo of at least one baker wearing the winning team’s jersey.
“If, by some weird chance the Patriots lose, I’m going to send you a dozen of Kane’s doughnuts,” said Delios in another video posted to social media on Tuesday, this time directed to Good Dough. “But we know that they’re going to win, so I can’t wait to taste your doughnuts. I heard they’re pretty good.”
