I will freely admit that I don’t have a lot of fun in the kitchen. Rarely am I inspired to get creative in the kitchen. However, every once in awhile I get a crazy urge to get  in there and whip something fun up. My son is in kindergarten and every month he has a scheduled day that he is supposed to bring snack for his classmates. This month I felt inspired to make something fun for him to bring, so I made some St Patrick’s Day Mini Donuts!!!

Easy Christmas Donuts

A couple Christmas’ ago I shared these Easy Donuts that I made. Check out that post if you want the recipe and the play by play for how I make my donuts!

I changed up the frosting for these donuts too. I still covered them in the powered sugar glaze and let them dry. Then I melted a can of store bought frosting in a microwave safe bowl and dipped the tops of the donuts in the frosting. It created a great layer of frosting and I mean, who doesn’t love frosting?

Oh and sprinkles! I decided in the spirit of St Patrick’s Day to add some rainbow sprinkles to the donuts.

It may be hard to tell in the photos but I also made the donuts green!

I don’t consider myself to be all that great in the kitchen. I mean, I don’t think I’m BAD at cooking and baking. I just don’t get a ton of joy from it and honestly don’t know a whole lot about it. I basically follow recipes and keep it pretty basic. Which is why it’s odd that I have done a few food posts lately. What can I say? I do love me some cute desserts and these Nest & Egg Cupcakes are cute!
I wanted to make a dessert for our Easter party, but not just any dessert. I have seen some nest cupcakes floating around blogland and Pinterest. They were all really cute, so I decided to create my own version.
I made some vanilla cupcakes per the directions on the box (remember when I said I can only follow a recipe, ya). I piped on some vanilla frosting in the shape of a nest. I didn’t worry about getting the nest to look just perfect or for them all to look the same. After all, don’t all bird nests look different? I used some blue candy eggs for the….well, the eggs!
I love that they look like little robin eggs! Not only did they turn out adorable, but they were so very yummy too. I guess there is something to say for keeping things simple.
I know they are nothing ground breaking…..but I am always a little proud of myself when I get creative in the kitchen. Thanks for check out my sweet little Nest & Egg Cupcakes!!!
