Donut Break

Let's take a break from making doll clothes and have a snack... or a tasty pincushion!

Tutorial can be found here. It's really pretty easy, use a CD as a template, felt, needle & thread, stuffing and get creative. I used embroidery floss for the sprinkles. There's all sorts of room for embellishments and different color combos. It's also a great pretend play toy for your kiddos.


Please join our flickr group and upload pictures of your donuts or any other Finding Pins and Needles projects. I'd love to see them!

First, I used the   red velvet cake  recipe that came with my  Babycakes Cake Pop Maker  machine which I ordered from Amazon. Once the cake pop balls were cool, I placed whole and half balls in the cake pans and poured the cake batter (white and chocolate ) over them. Bake. Surprisingly, they don't overcook being baked twice! So fun and I love the contrast of the r
