Mini Assorted Donuts

Once I found this Wilton pan, I just had to make mini donuts!

These are so light and airy and with sugary sweet toppings, it will be a hit with everyone, even if they dont like regular donuts!


This recipe makes 48 mini donuts:

ps.....these are great cupcake toppers!

Cake donuts:
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour, sifted
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 1/2 T butter, melted

Preheat the oven to 425F. Spray mini donut pan with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt. Add buttermilk, egg and butter and stir until just combined. Fill each doughnut cup approx. 1/2 full.



Bake 4-6 minutes or until the top of the doughnut srpigs back when touched. Remove and cool before decorating.

Vanilla Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
1 T milk (add more if needed)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Stir together until completely dissolved. Use immediately and add other toppings before glaze sets.

Chocolate Glaze:

Melt 1/4 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips in the microwave at 30 second intervals until chocolate is melted, Use immediately and add other toppings before chocolate cools.

Flooding Cookies

I started working on my technique for flooding cookies as a method of decorating, this requires cookie cut outs, royal icing, and a poured royal icing (thinner consistency)













Flower cupcake

This one is super easy, a box of chocolate muffin mix, pre-made white chocolate easy frost from Pillsbury, and some royal icing flowers (made ahead of time).


The box mix makes 24 mini muffins, or 12 regular muffins






Baby Shower!



One of my friends who took the same cake decorating class with me came up with the adorable cookies for our friend's baby shower. The idea can be found on Wilton.com



It is a basic dyed sugar cookie recipe, with royal icing details.
