Doughnut Cake
We love doughnuts; we love frosting- so it makes sense to combine the two and make a sweet little doughnut cake. But - I admit - we're short on time. You could make your doughnuts from scratch - and/or your frosting from scratch but for this project -it's all about fast.
The 4th of July is around the corner so I used a little food coloring to give it a colorful twist -you could do that or add other colors or none at all; just the frosting of your choice.

Slice
Slice the doughnuts (as fresh as you can get them) in half lengthwise.
Stack
Practice stacking the doughnut halves with one flat half on the bottom and the other half up on top.
Stack Frosted
Add the frosting - I layered it in red, white and blue but you do what ever you like.
Frost and Chill
Frost the outside.
Put it in the refrigerator to set up for 15 minutes or so- it was 90 degrees in the kitchen when I made mine so it was pretty goopey.Sprinkles
Add sprinkles.
Marvel
