Doughnuts appear in a number of mathematically classifiable forms,
predominantly oblate spheroids and ellipsoids, cylinders with domed
ends, and toroids.
The logical progression is to label them not as "ring" or "filled" but by
the set of equations that describes their form.
This would be
immensely satisfying to mathematicians, physicists,
engineers and geeks of all sorts, as questions such as "Do I
get more
sugar dusting on a small torus or a larger spheroid ?" can be
unambiguously resolved before approaching the counter.

The sugar-dusting answer is obvious. You need a
Sierpinski donut fractal with infinite surface area but
zero
volume. Infinite amount of sugar dusting but zero
calories. |

I think that donut should be alternately spelled "doughnut", but this idea renders that spelling reform redundant. |

Phew! Just think how many arguments your idea has prevented. Almost enough to warrant a Nobel Peace Prize. |
