Also, for those checking, the price was RM 15.90 from Shojikiya. Most of this stuff can be found there and/or bought from Isetan KLCC as well, in the candy section.
Picking up where Silvy let off, while the doughy stuff was 'setting' I set about to handle the icings. You get three sachets of icing, in the flavours of vanilla, strawberry and chocolate.
As expected, it was the usual goopy stuff. Just add a little water using the supplied cut-off plastic measuring-cup-triangle-thing and dump it in. The strawberry was very strong smelling, as expected, and also as expected, the vanilla and strawberry icings didn't have any redeeming qualities.
They just plain tasted weird. Creamy, but weird.
The chocolate icing on the other hand (not pictured) came out a lot more liquid after mixing, and it was surprisingly tasty! Which pretty made it the saving grace of this kit.
After the doughnuts had set, we opened up the two other sachets that had the obligatory sprinkles and little cookie crumbs so we could get started.
Decorating got a bit silly, as you only get the mixing spoon and a small icing bag to distribute the icing. The whole while we had to actually control ourselves from eating up the chocolate icing because, dammit, it was freaking tasty. THE TASTIEST thing I've ever had that came out of a sachet.
Well here we are, the finish product. There's one less in the picture because we gave one to the nice gentleman that let us sit at his store well after closing time to let us finish this up. The icing is a funny thing. It tends to liquidize slightly after applying them onto the little spongy doughnut candies and then drip.
Suffice to say, they didn't taste too bad. Of course, they didn't have the texture of real dougnuts, but it was a pretty fun kit. And we wish there was more chocolate stuff. Really, we do.
Also, a newer version of this kit has since hit the market under the same brand, so keep an eye out for different packaging.
Spire sez: This is a very nice kit, and if it weren't for the weird tasting vanilla and strawberry icing, I would recommend it in a heartbeat. The doughnuts themselves are a bit fiddly to get out of the molds because they tend to fall apart a bit, but overall I give it a thumbs up.
Silvy says: This kit was surprisingly fun and entertaining for me. The doughnut molds were rather fiddly (the 'dough' kept breaking up) but once they've popped out, it's pretty much smooth sailing all the way. Vanilla and strawberry icing tasted horrible, but the chocolate was divine! Give this a try when you can, you'll love it :D
