watermelon doughnuts....!


....so i kinda have a thing for pink and green (as you can tell by the blog design)....so anything watermelon related works for me since that's all pretty pinks and greenie green...

for these doughnuts, the cake is not watermelon flavored....i did watermelon cupcakes awhile back so wanted to try something different and had some leftover green batter from these cupcakes....


...and they are baked doughnuts too (is it donut or doughnut?)....using one of those doughnut pans....before adding the batter, just added some green food gel in streaks to bottom of pan and to the actual batter on top (as in pic) since i wasn't sure what side of the doughnut would look best for this....


i actually used the side of the doughnut closest to the pan side as that looked more like the doughnut shape....then added some watermelon cream cheese icing (link to recipe in this post and is made with real watermelon juice)...and finished with some black sesame seeds on top....


...and you get some yummy little doughnut cakes with some really delish watermelon cream cheese icing....(btw it's pretty much impossible to pipe cream cheese icing unless you add like 2 bags of powdered sugar!)

i hope you like them and really hope you are enjoying the summer...hard to believe it's mid july already....i think we need to create an extra summer month because it goes by way to fast! thanks for stopping by and have a fantastic week!

  1. These are pretty and I love that doughnut pan. I use mine to bake muffins in for the grands...there's something about a hole in the center that intrigues them. XOXO
