I have to admit, these turned out amazingly cute. I'm glad I picked up a mini doughnut pan on my last trip to Oak Glen. I got the idea from justJENN Recipes (who also has an AMAZING idea for Princess Leia cupcakes that she made for her Star Wars themed party that I, as the gf of a Star Wars nerd, must try soon). The recipe for the doughnuts came with the pan but I wasn't crazy about how they tasted. I was hoping they'd be more doughnut-y then they were. I'll probably try another doughnut recipe next time or go all out and try making some fried ones. The doughnut frosting wasn't anything special either, just a simple milk glaze. I did add some espresso powder to the coffee that went in the cupcake itself because I fail horribly at making "strong coffee." It always turns out way too bitter so I made regular coffee and added the powder. Seemed to work better that way. I have a strong feeling these came out looking a lot better than they tasted. Ken's a good sport though, he'll eat them with a smile on his face, or at least that cute little smirk thing he does that makes me melt.
Ken's Taste Text: "They were good. If we hadn't already been on break for like an hour and a half I'd say it was a mini coffee break served in a portable bite-sized treat. The only thing that sucked was someone snagged just a donut off one when I wasn't looking and no one fessed up."
Snagged a donut? While you weren't looking?? OH THE INHUMANITY!!!
