It’s time to prep for my FAVORITE food holiday…National Donut Day this Friday! To celebrate, I partnered with my friends at JOANN to share a tutorial for these easy color blocked donuts using the oh-so-amazing edible color mist by Wilton! Donuts are a pretty big weakness of mine, so I try to treat myself to them only occasionally, and you bet I’ll be indulging this week. Plus, I have more donut-inspired ideas to share with you guys this week! Keep reading to see how EASY this donut decorating idea is…

Last year, I shared these gingham donuts, and they remain one of my favorite food art projects of all time! They gave me the inspiration to make these color blocked donuts using a similar technique – paper and Wilton color mist.

Scroll down for the full recipe card if you want to make these homemade baked buttermilk donuts πŸ‘‡πŸΌ It’s the same recipe from my marbled donuts and gingham donuts. Why fix what isn’t broken, right?!

Luckily, JOANN is my number one stop for all things food decorating, and Wilton color mists come in handy more often than you’d think! Well, at least for me they do. They’re honestly one of my favorite food decorating supplies, so yes, I keep my studio stocked with every color they carry.

Supplies:

  • Plain buttermilk donuts (recipe below)
  • Donut pan
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • Sifter
  • Milk
  • Whisk
  • Wilton color mists, variety of colors
  • Cardstock paper

Step 1: Bake the donuts! Let them cool completely before icing.

Step 2: Once cool, sift the powdered sugar into a mixing bowl. Add the milk about 1 tsp at a time, whisking until just combined. Stop when it’s still very thick but reaches a dipping consistency.

Step 3: Let the icing set, then dip a second time. Let set completely at room temperature.

Step 4: It is recommended that you spray the donuts outdoors. Cover a baking sheet with foil or parchment, then use a piece of cardstock paper to section part of the iced donut.

Step 5: Spray the color mist from about 6 inches away until vibrant. Remove the paper and let dry.

Step 6: Section off another part of the donut with cardstock and spray with another color. Repeat with all donuts in 3-4 sections, and don’t be afraid to let colors overlap.

WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk abou WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk about the new pins in the shop...but they SOLD OUT in 12 hours instead πŸ˜­πŸ™ Andrew and I are so overwhelmed with the love of the #FIPWarriors community. Thank you to anyone who's purchased a pin to support Milo's treatment! We're so close to the end now! One more batch of pins coming up soon 😽
What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas decorations?! 😭 Half our neighbors already took down their Christmas lights, so I guess the only goal is to not be the LAST one with lights up. How long do you keep up your decorations?
Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holi Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holiday card before it's a week til Christmas, so we can actually send one πŸ€ͺ When we get Christmas cards, I always feel like a little kid getting mail again! Do you send a holiday card??⁠
⁠
(Grab this DIY card holder in the blog archives! πŸ‘‰)
More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHO More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHOCKED to see Milo's pins sell out so quickly. We made 50 with the expectation that we wouldn't sell very many, but I just put in an order for more inventory! 😭⁠
⁠
This time we'll be selling black and white cat "FIP Warrior" pins to help raise money for Milo's treatment. Stay tuned - a pre-sale is coming! Pins will ship again in early January. In the meantime, there's plenty of other products available in the shop! (Visit my @etsy via the link in my bio)
NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your su NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your support of Milo while he goes through FIP treatment! I designed a new enamel pin to help us raise the funds to pay for Milo's treatment...THEN we sold almost all of the pins in just in a few hours! I'm so thankful and in shock of the generosity of our FIP community 😭⁠
⁠
There are a few left and more on the way, so you can SHOP NOW on @etsy and here on IG!! If you want a pin and they are sold out, please tag yourself below! Visit the link in my bio to purchase πŸ›β

"FIP Warrior" is the name we give to cats fighting FIP and the humans who help them, bringing awareness to the disease and possible treatments. Our Warrior Milo is almost halfway through his treatment and we couldn't be more grateful to see him getting better! Every purchase from my shop helps us to pay for his expensive treatments and is so, so appreciated πŸ™πŸΌ
🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since 🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since my last post (oops!) but I had to fit in my one obligatory fall photo before I dive straight into Christmas! If you caught my Stories recently, you may have already seen why I've been so absent...⁠
⁠
Last month, our sweet Milo was diagnosed with a disease called feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). It's very serious and has required our full attention to give him daily injections that should help him recover. The treatment is 84+ days long and has taken a huge emotional toll on us. You can learn more about Milo's FIP story in my profile Highlights!⁠
⁠
Long story short: I've been too emotionally drained from Milo's treatment, my regular work and the crazy world around us to even think about social media 😣 I truly don't know how you fellow creators do it! Hopefully the cheerfulness of Christmastime gives me the urge to create again! (πŸ“Έ cookies made for a project with @spectrumorganic)
