You Should Make A Donut Tree For Your Next Party
An easy dessert that doubles as the cutest-ever party decor? *nods head yes* This quick donut tree project is a total crowd-pleaser — learn how to make one for your next birthday party, bridal shower, baby shower, or brunch bash.
STEP 1: CHOOSE YOUR DONUTS
You can use any store-bought donut holes; plain, cinnamon-sugar, glazed, powdered, even filled. You'll need about 5 dozen for one tree.
STEP 2: PICK YOUR COLORS & DECORATIONS
Choose one or more candy melt colors for your tree.
Pick a mixture of sprinkles, sanding sugars, and other edible decorations.
Grab a styrofoam cone from any craft supply store, 6 or 8 inches tall.
STEP 3: BUILD YOUR TREE
Melt candy in the microwave until smooth, about 1 minute, stirring halfway through.
Dip donuts in the melted candy coating and sprinkle with decorations while still warm; let cool.
One at a time, press a toothpick into the styrofoam, then press a donut onto the toothpick until the tree is covered.
Psst: To build the tree faster, cover the entire tree with toothpicks, about 1/2 inch apart, and then press the donuts onto the tree until covered.
You can make the donut tree overnight or up to 8 hours ahead; just wrap gently with plastic wrap and refrigerate if any donuts contain a perishable filling.
