Vancouver 2010 Mini-donuts with powdered sugar glaze and one with Nutella
Whoo Hoo! The Winter Olympics in Vancouver start today!
Born and raised in Los Angeles with no snow, I'm not a winter athlete (heck, I'm not a summer athlete either!), but I love grabbing a mug of hot chocolate and watching the Winter Olympics. And I think the mascots are cute! Miga the sea bear (part whale and part bear) is adorable!So, I made some Olympic mini-donuts to celebrate the start of the games! Which can be translated into "the beginning of my sleep deprivation watching the Olympics..."
And I wanted to tell you about my mini-donut maker. I got this months ago and am finally posting about it.
Mini = Freakin' Cute.
My friend JustJenn has a mini-donut maker. Williams-Sonoma sold it for only one year. I've tried to distract her and steal it from her. I've checked eBay for one. No dice.
I mentioned this dilemma on the blog and Wendy of Pink Stripes told me that King Arthur sold a donut maker. Holy Smokes. I bought it within HOURS of this comment.
It's very similar to JustJenn's but hers makes 7 donuts while mine makes a half dozen at a time. They are baked so they come out like cake donuts, not like a fried Krispy Kreme donut. And since they are mini, well, you can eat a bunch!!
Mini Donut Maker - $39.95 on the King Arthur website - as of today, it says it isn't available! Bummer!
These are very cute and mini. The V-day candy is for scale.
Happy Olympics! Happy Valentine's Day! Happy Lunar New Year! Whew! Lots going on this weekend! :)
okay, you are so cute. i can't stand it.
ReplyDeleteOh my, I LOVE those olympic donuts!! And I think I might need to email KAF to see if they can get the donut maker back in stock...they're awesome about stuff like that!
ReplyDeleteOh they look so good. I love the colored glaze on them. Nice way to celebrate!!!!
ReplyDeleteAck! I want a mini donut maker that is amazing! Hopefully they will sell it again somewhere :D
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute!

ReplyDeleteOh these are so cute. I wanted to go out and buy one right away until you said it's not available. What a perfect way to kick off the Olympics!
ReplyDeleteYour mini-donuts are so cute! I hadn't realized just how small they are until that last "to-scale" picture. Mm...donuts...
ReplyDeleteGreat way to celebrate the start of the Olympics!
They look so cute!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Rosa

ReplyDeleteThis is the cutest post and I so want that donut maker! I am going to have to watch for that one to become available again.
ReplyDeleteYes, I am SO excited about the Olympics starting tonight!! Which events are you looking forward to most?
ReplyDeleteThese donuts are adorable - love them. I didn't know KAF sold a mini donut maker either, but I might need to look into getting one someday :)
These doughnuts are so cute!!!
ReplyDeleteWow...very cool indeed! I am sitting here...moments away from watching the opening ceremonies....right here in my 'own back yard' almost! Could NOT afford the tickets but my volunteer friends who have seen the rehearsals, and are sworn to secrecy....say it is going to be incredible! Ta...thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletefun! i love the frosting you did on them...
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I want one! (A pan AND a donut!)
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome!!! I"m right there with you in regards to being a native angeleno with not much experience with snow but I love the Olympics :) Have fun at Sundays class...
ReplyDeleteThe mini-donuts are absolutely adorable! And they look really yummy, too! :)
ReplyDeletei just finished watching the opening ceremony on tv. the olympics is right in my very own city! v. cute bakes and blog btw. love it.
ReplyDeleteSince this donut maker is no longer avail, can I come over for some donuts??? Pleeeeeeeaaaassseee????
ReplyDeletefreakin' cute is right! I love all the colors and I must get one of those donut makers!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pity this cute donut maker has become so elusive. Your Olympic minis are perfectly adorable. You are always on the cutting edge, Miss Food Librarian (cutting cake, cutting pie, cutting brownies, etc.)!
ReplyDeleteThese are way too adorable and perfect!
ReplyDeleteYour doughnuts are adorable - I love the pretty Olympic themed colours! I too have a doughnut maker and must be using it more often :)
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable. I'm so impressed.
ReplyDeleteOkay, totally and completely NOT a sports person so I am not paying any attention to the Olympics, but those mascots are ADORABLE. And that is probably the only Olympic-related comment I will make for two years, I am really sad.
ReplyDeleteBut whatever, I can appreciate how cute Olympic-themed doughnuts are, and I'll repeat everything I hear during the news segments on NPR about the Olympics to pretend I know what I'm talking about.
These donuts are too cute! They look delicious as well.
ReplyDeleteI am so excited about the Olympics, too! I have the schedule bookmarked and the tv is on all day. It's amazing how much fun it is to watch even when you have zero knowledge of what they're doing.
Ack! You know my love of mini *anything*... These look abso-freaking-lutely adorable!
ReplyDeleteI must order that mini donut maker!!! I have the KA catalog and I want to buy everything in it...so flipping cute!
ReplyDeleteI never knew there was such a thing as a donut maker. I need one like right now! hehe
ReplyDeleteWay too cute for words. I am so getting one of these! Woo hoo for donuts!
ReplyDeleteahh!!! i love these! not to mention i've been craving doughnuts like crazy.
ReplyDeleteyou can buy the mini donut maker on perpetualkid.com
ReplyDeletei also saw a mini doughnut maker just like this one at MACY's in the kitchen ware department! Go figure!
ReplyDeleteCan you recommend a good baked donut recipe?
ReplyDelete@fransa86 Dear Fransa86, I'm sorry, I haven't made baked donuts. But Lara Ferroni has a book called Donuts that I believe includes baked recipes: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1570616418/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1570616418&linkCode=as2&tag=foodlibr-20 .
