Universal Studios Florida · Springfield: Home of the Simpsons
The doughnut stand under the giant Lard Lad statue, home of the Big Pink Donut that four people can genuinely share.
Last verified July 2026
Lard Lad is a walk-up counter under a two-storey statue of a boy holding a doughnut, and it is the most photographed spot in Springfield. It sells standard doughnuts and one very large one.
The Big Pink Donut is the reason it exists: a pink-frosted doughnut roughly the diameter of a dinner plate, covered in sprinkles, sold to be shared. It is a decent cake doughnut rather than a great one, and it is not trying to be more than a joke made real.
Split between three or four people it costs less per head than a standard park snack and produces better photographs than anything else in the land.
A joke made real and worth doing once. Split it between four people, take the photograph, and buy a standard doughnut if you actually want a good doughnut.
The dishes this kitchen is actually known for. Menus change seasonally, so treat this as what to look for rather than a guaranteed list.

A cake doughnut roughly the diameter of a dinner plate, covered in pink frosting and sprinkles, sold under a two-storey statue of the Lard Lad mascot.
Our take: Buy one for the group, not one each. It is a decent cake doughnut carrying a great joke, and split four ways it is cheaper per head than a normal park snack.
Roughly the diameter of a dinner plate, and genuinely intended to be shared between three or four people. Buying one each is the most common mistake made at this counter and produces a lot of abandoned doughnut.
It is a decent cake doughnut with a lot of frosting rather than a great pastry. You are buying the spectacle and the photograph. The standard doughnuts at the same counter are better eating.
