Do you like donuts? How about Krispy Kreme donuts? That's right, it's a Krispy Kreme donut cake! It's actually a tower of donuts, but it doesn't really show well in the photo. I found an actual recipe online too, which I followed almost exactly (I ended up with a few extra donuts). I used 2 dozen KK holiday-themed donuts, drizzled with white and dark chocolate and accented with fresh strawberries and blackberries. Easy peasy.
Here is the recipe if you're in need of an unusual and quick cake for your next party:
The following instructions are based on
using 2 dozen Original Glazed™ doughnuts and will result in formation of a ‘pyramid’ construction. You will need a flat platter on which to assemble the cake:
Layer 1
1. Place six doughnuts in a ring formation. Fill in the space in the middle with one full doughnut.
2. Cut one doughnut in pieces to fill any
spaces in the first layer.
3.Place icing on top of this layer so it
adheres to layer 2.
Layer 2
4. Place five doughnuts on top of layer 1 again in a ring formation slightly inwards from the edge of layer 1.
5. Place one doughnut inside the ring.
7. If there are any gaps, cut a doughnut in pieces and place in the gaps.
Remaining Layers
8. Keep layering in the same manner until you get to the crescent remembering to use one less doughnut in each layer to achieve the ‘pyramid’ effect and to bring the layer inward slightly from the edge of the lower layer.
9. Place one doughnut on top of the cake as the final layer.
Decorate!!
10. Here is where you can let all your creativity flow. Melt chocolate and drizzle over the outside, pipe cream into any gaps, use fruits to decorate such as raspberries & strawberries or just shake some icing sugar over your cake.
