Instructions:
- Whip up a bowl of your icing of choice - make sure you're using a bowl wide enough to dip the top of your biggest donut in!
- Add your edible icing colouring - here, Jessica is using the Color Right Concentrated Food Colouring from Wilton. These colours are so concentrated that you only require a couple of drops to reach your desired shade. Amazing value for money! We love a combination of Pink and Blue - this mix gives a beautiful marbled effect!
- Mix together until you're happy with the colour.
- Dip your pre-made donuts into your icing mix, being careful to get an even distribution across the whole top surface.
- When you're decorating donuts it's all about the finishing touches! Grab your favourite topping and sprinkle across the icing. Jessica's choice of the Cotton Candy blend from Happy Sprinkles is perfection!
The Sky's the Limit!
Whether it's doughnuts for a baby shower, a birthday bash or an engagement party, there is no shortage of inspiration out there. The question now is, what style will you make first?!
