But before we press on, we must interrupt our regularly scheduled broadcast with a very important SNACK BREAK!

We were standing right by The Landing’s Joffrey’s Coffee and Tea Company when our appetites got the better of us today! And look at what we spotted in their bakery case — a new Pride Month DONUT!!!

Pride Month Donut

Donut King, a big-time coffee and donut chain, supplies all Joffrey’s locations with their donuts, so you know they’re the REAL DEAL! For $4.99 we scored this massive yeast donut today topped with a beautiful rainbow of frosting!

Pride Month Donut

The donut is plain while the frosting is vanilla so not a lot of complexity going on here. But the donut we got was nice and fresh! We thought it had a great texture and tasted like everything you could want out of a good donut DONE RIGHT!

The barista we spoke with said they’ll be stocking the Pride Month Donut through June 28th, so hurry on down to snag yours before then! And don’t forget to swing by the Marketplace’s Starbucks to try their new Love is Love Drink which you can read our review of here!

Sleeping Beauty donut cake

I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream.

For some of us, eating a donut cake does sound like a dream come true! If you watched the animated Sleeping Beauty film, then you will recall the lopsided cake the three fairy godmothers baked for Aurora. Today, we’ll show you how to bake your own Sleeping Beauty Donut Cake at home.

Ingredients

Donuts (store-bought or homemade)
White candy melts
2 Cups powdered sugar
2 1/2 Tbsps milk
Dash of vanilla extract
Blue and yellow gel food coloring
Vanilla frosting
Long pretzels logs
Dark chocolate, melted
Marshmallows
Pink candles

Additional Items

Pink Candles
Toothpicks
Pastry brush
Piping Bags
Scissors

Directions

Use your choice of plain store-bought or homemade donuts. If using homemade, ensure the donuts are completely cool before decorating. I used 8 homemade baked cake donuts in total.
Melt the white chocolate. Dip the donuts in, and let them set
To make the glaze, combine sugar, milk, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth. Add in blue gel food coloring until incorporated, then transfer into a piping bag. Snip a corner off. Then, pipe drips onto the donuts, smoothing the glaze out with a toothpick where needed. For the donut that is going on top, cover it completely with blue glaze.
Use frosting or melted chocolate to secure the first donut onto the cake board or cutting board. Carefully stack the donuts.
Combine yellow gel food coloring with vanilla frosting to create the yellow frosting. Add to a sturdy piping bag. Then, pipe on the yellow details on the top tier. You can use a dowel in the middle of the donut stack to hold them up if you wish.

6. To make the broomstick, use a long breadstick or pretzel stick and apply a layer of melted chocolate with a brush. When set, dip 1 end in melted chocolate and stick into a marshmallow on an angle so it’s leaning towards the donut tower. Stack another marshmallow underneath, attaching them together with melted chocolate.

7. “Glue” the base of the marshmallow to the other side of the cake board with melted chocolate and wedge the “broomstick” between the top 2 donuts.

8. Combine more yellow gel food coloring with vanilla frosting to create a darker yellow frosting. Using this frosting, pipe long strands of icing onto the marshmallows to imitate the straw of the broom. Finish it off with a ring of piped dark chocolate approximately 3/4 of the way up.

9. Pipe small dollops of regular yellow frosting where the candles will go, then stick pink candles directly on top.

That’s it! This dessert would be a fantastic addition for a Disney birthday!
