Donut hole cake

I've been gathering info for holiday gatherings and Gavin's next birthday party and stumbled upon this idea online somewhere and had to give it a whirl! Super easy and adds a touch of fun to a party for sure!


All you need is:

a syrafoam cone
wrapping paper (to keep the crumbly styrafoam off the donuts)
toothpicks
approx. 55 donut holes ( donuts are 1/2 price after 6pm at Dunkin Donuts too!)


Wrap the cone with wrapping paper



Then start applying the donuts with the toothpicks. It's super easy!


I tried to make different colored bands around the cone but didn't have equal numbers of flavors. That and the boys, okay... me too, love the chocolate ones so I always ask for the box of munchkins to be half full of chocolate ones and the rest mixed. So this tower was mostly chocolate at the top.


And another note, I recommend starting with the larger sizes on the bottom and using the smaller ones at the top- you always learn the first time trying anything.

We gave this one to Aunt Stephanie so when she stopped by on a DNR run to Jug Bay she could take it back to work with her and share it with her co-workers, if it actually got to work first!
