Easy Fancy Matcha Donuts
Ingredients
- 12 store bought plain cake donuts
- 3 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Matcha powder
- Edible petals/flowers violas, lilac, blueberry, carnation, nasturtium, marigold, bachelor button, chive*
- White sugar pearls
- Sprinkles
- Chocolate dipped pretzels
- Edible Gold if you want to be super fancy
Instructions
Make the glaze
- Add the powdered sugar to a medium mixing bowl.
- Whisk in the milk and extract until smooth.
- Divide the glaze between 3 bowls. Leave 1/3 of the glaze white.
- Mix in just enough Matcha powder to the second bowl to make a pale green glaze.
- Mix in enough Matcha powder to the third bowl to make a darker green glaze.
- Cover the pale green and dark green glazes with plastic wrap (pushing against the glaze to keep from crusting over).
Dip and decorate the donuts
- Working with one color of glaze at a time (white first) dip 4 of the donuts into the glaze and rest on a drying rack.
- Working while the glaze is still wet, decorate each donut with the flowers*, sprinkles, chocolate dipped pretzels and edible gold.
- Repeat the process with the remaining two colors of glaze.
Notes
*Go sparingly on the edible flowers...a little flower petal goes a long way!
