Easy Fancy Doughnut Recipe

Do I have a fun and SUPER easy recipe for some delicious fancy donuts!  Everyone will think you purchased these beauties at a fancy cake shop or slaved away for hours!

 

Servings: Makes 12 donuts

Ingredients:

• 12 store bought plain cake donuts
• 3 cups confectioners’ sugar
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Matcha powder
• Edible petals/flowers (violas, lilac, blueberry, carnation, nasturtium, marigold, bachelor button, chive)*
• White sugar pearls
• Sprinkles
• Chocolate dipped pretzels
• Edible Gold (if you want to be super fancy)

Instructions:

Make the glaze:

1. Add the powdered sugar to a medium mixing bowl.
2. Whisk in the milk and extract until smooth.
3. Divide the glaze between 3 bowls. Leave 1/3 of the glaze white.
4. Mix in just enough Matcha powder to the second bowl to make a pale green glaze.
5. Mix in enough Matcha powder to the third bowl to make a darker green glaze.
6. Cover the pale green and dark green glazes with plastic wrap (pushing against the glaze to keep from crusting over).

Dip and decorate the donuts:

1. Working with one color of glaze at a time (white first) dip 4 of the donuts into the glaze and rest on a drying rack.
2. Working while the glaze is still wet, decorate each donut with the flowers*, sprinkles, chocolate dipped pretzels, and edible gold.
3. Repeat the process with the remaining two colors of glaze.

*Go sparingly on the edible flowers…a little flower petal goes a long way!

That’s it, so easy and so beautiful!
