I was watching Studio 5 the other day and they made some darling mini donuts!  I think that donuts are the new thing, right there along side of the cupcake craze.They looked so fun that I really wanted to try them!

 I do not like to have a lot of kitchen appliances and gadgets, (I do not even own an electric can opener!) but when I saw this donut maker I was completely and totally hooked!  So I ran out to Kohls and bought one and came home that day and my granddaughter and I made these yummy pumpkin spice donuts with maple frosting! The recipe is here along with a double chocolate one!

 Aren’t they just so cute!The donut maker is called Baby Cakes they make all kinds of these little cookers for cake pops, whoopie pies, cupcakes, mini pies, waffles, donuts, etc.  The donuts make six mini donuts at a time and they only take 4-5 minutes for each batch to cook.  This recipe made about 2 1/2 dozen donuts. You put the batter into a frosting bag and just squeeze the batter into the little round molds. We cooked the donuts and then dipped them in the frosting and then into the sprinkles.  Easy peasy!  I can see me making these for alot of our family parties!  They look great and they taste great.  I want to try the chocolate ones and the sour cream ones. Yumm!  Is your mouth watering yet?  Mine sure is!
