DIY Instagram Donut Treats!

I have been scrolling through my Instagram feed (@brookenafziger) and am seeing cute, colorful foods all over the place!  The only downside to seeing these viral foods everywhere is they are in the big cities such as New York City and LA.  Sadly, I don't live anywhere close or the means to get their just for the food.  So today, I thought I would show you guys how to make these amazing donut treats at home!

California Donuts
Donuts are one of my favorite foods in the whole world and California Donuts in LA has the cutest donuts.  The closest place to get similar donuts to me is Varsity Donuts in Manhatten and Hurts Donuts in Wichita.  They both have good donuts but California Donuts has them at a race for cute and colorfulness.  I am going to show you how to make 3 types of donuts today.
Panda Donut

  • Plain unfrosted or glazed donuts
  • Frosting or Thick Glaze
  • Oreos
First, start by frosting the top part of the donut with white frosting/glaze.  For the ears, break one Oreo in half and GENTLY press it into the frosting while still wet.  Then, using small bits of broken Oreos, place 1/4 of an Oreo where the eyes would go and 1/8 of an Oreo for the nose.  To finish the eyes, place a small dot of white frosting in the center of the Oreo eye.  These donuts are super cute and taste amazing!!

Cereal Donuts

  • Plain unfrosted or glazed donuts
  • Frosting or Thick Glaze
  • Food Coloring
  • Cereal of your choice
These are the easiest donuts ever!  First, start off by coloring your frosting whatever color you'd like.  The most common are purple and pink, but feel free to do blue, green, orange, etc.  Start off by frosting your donut and while its still wet press dry cereal into it.  My faves are Fruity Pebbles and Blueberry Toast Crunch.  You could also use candy such as mini M&M's if you have a sweet tooth!

Maple Bacon Donuts
  • Plain unfrosted or glazed donuts
  • White Frosting
  • Maple Flavoring
  • Bacon Pieces
  • Maple Syrup
Begin by frosting the donuts with a layer of white frosting with maple flavoring mixed into it.  Next, top with bacon pieces and drizzle with maple syrup.  Sweet and savory while being combined with a donut!

I hope that you try out these recipes because they taste amazing!  Donuts are great but homemade are so much better.
