- Prepare 500 g FunCakes Mix for Donuts as indicated on the package. Roll out the dough, on a sheet dusted with FunCakes Magic Roll-out powder, to a thickness of about ½ cm and cut out 6 cm rounds. Then cut out a small round, of about 1 cm, from the larger round. This way you will get a donut shape. Place the donuts on sheet of parchment paper on a plate and cover with a clean tea towel. Let this rest for 25 minutes.
Tips & Tricks for the Perfect Breakfast Surprise
- Make it personal: Use FunCakes choco decoration letters or cutters to create a name or sweet message from sugar paste or marzipan a small detail that makes a big impression.
