Who says that donut parties are just for kids? If you’re looking for unique ideas for your next brunch gathering, donuts are a great way to make the atmosphere more colorful and pink. The best part is that you can get creative and go extra with the desserts and decoration. Besides, there’s no such thing as “too much” when treating your guests.
Make Store-Bought Donuts Look Fancy
For actual donates, you can spice up store-bought donuts. Get a few plain donuts from your nearest supermarket and make your own icing by mixing 2 cups of powdered sugar with 1⁄4 cup of milk and 1⁄2 a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Divide it into a few bowls and add some food coloring to each one. Dip the top of the donuts in the glaze, flip the donuts upright, and let them set for about two hours. Your guests will definitely be impressed.
Make Donut-Like Sugar Cookies or Cakes
You can make donut-like sugar cookies by getting some sugar cookie dough and using a glass to cut out donut shapes. Then, take a smaller glass to make a hole in each circle and bake. Once the cookies cool down, get messy with the colorful frosting and sprinkles.
Making a mini donut cake is also surprisingly easy. Just bake three circular pans of your favorite cake mix, let it cool, and cut a hole in the center of each one. Use different colors of frosting between each pan and put some pink icing on top to finish the cake. Add some sprinkles, and your donut cake will be ready.
Get Themed Plates and To-Go Boxes
Instead of taking out your mom’s fancy plates, use colorful plates to add more fun to your party. If you manage to find donut-themed dessert-sized plates and matching napkins, your brunch will be a hit. Sprinkle some confetti on the table, too!
Be the best host and send your guests home with cute little gift boxes. Buy mini bakery boxes and fill them with cupcakes, donuts, and sugar cookies (yes, make sure to prepare extra!) Wrap each box with a colorful strap or baker’s twine, and maybe tie on a mini wooden spoon and a thank-you note. Rest assured that your guests will have a blast!
