Learn How to Bake Your Own Doughnuts

Over the last two years, I have formed an odd attachment to doughnuts. I feel somewhat protective of them – especially the good ones. I literally got in a fight with my Uncle last week about the best doughnuts in Los Angeles.

Like, I actually got upset about it. And then afterwards, I felt totally insane thinking about much it bothered me that someone talking smack about a fried piece of dough. But I guess when you trek across the country eating an unfathomable amount of doughnuts, you form some kind of bond with them.

I also just realized I have been in a relationship with doughnuts longer than any man in my entire life. Awesome.

Basically, if you can eat it, you can use luster dust on it! But here are my l favorite ways to use it:

- Royal Icing Cookies
- Fondant cakes
- Buttercream Cakes/Cupcakes (but buttercream must be cold when applied)
- Chocolate Covered anything (including cake pops)
- Splattered on brownies

Rose Gold, Gold and Black available @sweetsindeed.

My roommate hates glitter more than anything…but I can’t stop using it! Look how amazing our @sweetsindeed Edible Glitter Spray makes this cupcake look!

But I have agreed to only use glitter in my studio though. I feel like that is a fair compromise 🙌
