Let's pivot to something happy today... DONUTS!
I always let the kids pick their birthday treats and Olive requested sugar cookies and donuts. Our local donut shop - Square Donuts - is her favorite. I hopped in the car early on the morning of her birthday to get a dozen donuts on her actual birthday. They're $9.09/dozen which makes for a very affordable birthday cake option.
She got the idea to stack them. I had offered to form them into a #7 and put a candle in them, but she thought a stacked donut cake would be fun. She was right. It turned out great!
You just need a few things:
a dozen of your favorite donuts (a variety works well)
sprinkles
candle
*optional: a cake plate.
We learned a few things along the way:
1. Donuts are really best the day you buy them. This cake needs to be made the same day you buy them.
2. Start your stack with the glazed donuts on the bottom and the icing donuts higher up.
3. Wait to stack them until about an 1-2 before the party so the donuts don't get too stuck together.
4. Sprinkle the whole cake with some sprinkles.
Donut cake success!
