My nerves are at an all time high with this post…Damask Love, afterall is not a cooking blog. That said, these little favors are so easy to make, that they are perfect for crafters like you and me. In just a few minutes you can make ’em and then spend the rest of your time on packaging them up pretty.

If you took a look through the Valentine’s Day issue of Toile, you may have noticed the donut printables on page 41 and today I’m giving you a few more details about just how easy they are to make yourself. So I hope you’ll enjoy this project – even if it does include a little crafting in the kitchen. After all, there is melted cake frosting involved …and I think we can all agree that melted cake frosting is always a good idea.

The supplies for these donut favors are crazy simple and readily available at your local market. The most work you’ll need to do it melt down a few scoops of store-bought cake frosting. To do this, just place the frosting in a microwave-safe dish and give it about 15 seconds. That’s it.

{1} Melt a few scoops of store-bought cake frosting in the microwave for about 15 seconds until it is pourable.

{2} Spoon melted frosting over the donut. You may want to do a few layer of this to get a nice coating.

{3} Sit donuts atop a cooling rack to avoid pools of frosting from forming around the donut.

{4} Add sprinkles before the frosting hardens.

When it’s time to hand out your treat, place your “homemade” donuts in a glassine bag and finish it off with a printed tag that is all yours for the low, low price of zero dollars and zero cents! The donut printable contains a few images as well as sentiment flags that you can cut out with scissors.

How easy was that?! So, now that we’ve spent our Sunday morning together, go give this one a try. It s a great Valentine’s Day treat, but truthfully you can give these out year round because who in their right mind is going to turn down a donut. Not me.
