Popin' Cookin' Doughnuts Part 1

It's been awhile, but Silvy is back with a quickie!

This time both Spire and I decided to have a seat and work on our next project: Doughnuts!

Of course, like everything else, these doughnuts are made of nothing but sugar, sugar, and more sugar!

Hyperactivity and headaches, anyone?


The box that is a lie! The doughnuts look too perfect here hahahaha
Instructions galore! I just wish the sticker did not cover part of the instructions =/ 
A close up of the ingredients and nutrition facts. 
The box has been unboxed! 
Snipping open the yellow packet, and uncovered the awesome packets of sweets 
Clockwise from top upper left:
Piping bag, cookie crumbs, vanilla icing, chocolate icing, strawberry icing, rainbow sprinkles, chocolate dough, vanilla dough (orange packet) 
The utensils. Bottom left is for the dough, bottom right (both slots) are for the icing, upper half as doughnuts molds. The teeny container on the bottom right corner is used to measure the water needed for each mixture 
And off we go! *snips* 
We started off with the vanilla dough 
So water was poured in, and we dumped the whole lot in there CAREFULLY (man, the powder sure loves to cry for freedom!) 
The wet powder showing its true colors here already! 
This was the tricky bit. It took quite some time for us to stir this mixture together as there was more powder than water in this concoction. Rather fiddly too, since the powder tend to fly everywhere if we're not careful. 
After some rigorous stirrings, we finally got it! Look how clumpy the mixture is. Doesn't it look almost like real dough? XD 
A close up on the not-dough. I think it looks like coconut gratings mixed with caramel in this photo. Hahaha 
Let the molding begin! It's not as easy as it looks, cause the dough refused to stick together properly and kept springing out from the mold. The worst was the middle mold cause the dough kept springing out and it was rather fiddly to remove it from the mold without breaking it =_=; 
Lo' and behold, the doughnuts are *cooked* 
And then they are removed from the *oven* 
We made 10 doughnuts in total, though only 9 are shown in this photo :) 

So now, you have seen how the basic doughnuts have been made with this DIY set.

Up next: The Icing!

See you in our next blog post (with our ratings). Till then, g'bye
