HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN DONUT WEDDING CAKE
If you’re as obsessed with Pinterest as I am then you would have seen the trend of the donut wedding cake cropping up in your feed so we thought it was about time we show you guys how you can make your own! I am SO IN LOVE with this idea and the great news is it’s something that you can easily create yourself if you’re on a budget! Shop around the supermarkets and find out where the best donuts are for you, we got these ones from Sainsbury’s and they were 24 donuts for £5! Total bargain! Here’s how easily you can do this…
YOU WILL NEED:
A cake stand // Enough donuts for your guests // Fresh flowers of your choice (we went with roses) //
STEP 1:
Create your first layer of donuts, filling out the cake stand as much as you can but being careful not to squash any donuts!
STEP 2:
Next add on your next layer on donuts, we found this looks best if you place them in between the placements of the layer below, i.e. making sure that donuts are not lined up with each other.
STEP 3:
Keep repeating this process addling less and less donuts each time so that eventually you end up with a sort of donut tower! AKA The donut wedding cake!! If you want to get really fancy you can add in extra cake stands on top of each other so that you have more and more tiers of donuts, it just depends on how many guests you need to cater for.
STEP 4:
Finally, all that’s left to do is decorate the stack! We used fresh roses for ours and simply slotted them into spaces where we saw fit, then added 3 final roses on the top! You don’t want to overdo the flowers or foliage too much as you want the donuts to be the main focus!
So what do you guys think?! Would you swap your wedding cake for the donut cake trend? Or maybe you could do both?! Donuts for dessert for the day guests and maybe serve cake in the evening? Either way, I’m a big fan of donuts so this new idea is a win in my eyes! xx
Why A Donut Wedding Cake Is a Great Choice
Donut wedding cakes are gaining popularity as couples seek to add a unique and whimsical touch to their special day. These delightful confections offer a playful alternative to traditional tiered cakes, infusing weddings with a sense of fun and novelty.
One reason for the rise in popularity of donut wedding cakes is their versatility. Unlike traditional cakes, which often adhere to a specific flavor or design, donut cakes offer endless possibilities for customization. Couples can choose from an array of flavors, colors, and toppings to create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that reflects their personality and style. From classic glazed donuts to decadent chocolate-dipped creations, the options are limited only by imagination.
Additionally, donut wedding cakes provide a convenient and practical solution for couples planning their big day. Unlike traditional cakes, which require careful transport and assembly, donut cakes are easy to transport and set up, making them ideal for outdoor or destination weddings. They also eliminate the need for cake cutting and serving, allowing guests to help themselves to a sweet treat whenever they please.
Furthermore, donut wedding cakes offer a nostalgic nod to childhood memories and simpler times. For many, donuts evoke feelings of joy, nostalgia, and comfort, making them the perfect addition to a celebration of love and unity. Whether served as a whimsical dessert or a late-night snack, donut cakes evoke a sense of nostalgia and whimsy that resonates with guests of all ages.
In conclusion, donut wedding cakes are becoming increasingly popular for their versatility, convenience, and nostalgic appeal. By offering a playful alternative to traditional cakes, these delightful confections add a touch of whimsy and charm to weddings, creating memories that will be cherished for years to come.
