NONSTICK DONUT PAN
Notes:
6" round, 2" deep pans used for most donuts
7" donut shaped pan used for large donuts with holes
Bake in 6" round pans, 2" deep and don't level the layers
Cut down 6" cardboard rounds to 4" for underneath each donut tier (or buy 4" rounds)
Flip each layer upside down onto trimmed board and trim top edge at an angle
Torte 3/4 of the way up (closer to the top) and fill
Wrap in cling wrap and put in freezer or fridge to chill filled "donut"
Make "puffy snow drip" glaze and color if desired
Add glaze to chilled donut and add sprinkles/topping
Paint piping gel onto any exposed cake that the glaze does not cover
Chill cake to ensure the glaze doesn't drip further down the donut
Use supports in each donut (except the top donut) when/if stacking with a stake driven down through the middle
Sign was made using a Cricut machine (with tips from the Cricut tutorial by Stephanie of Caked with Love By Steph)
