The Craft of Donut Making

To create a delicious donut, one must first master one of the two primary dough types, yeast or cake and then decide whether to fry or bake the donut. Once this foundation is established, bakers can unleash their creativity with a diverse array of glazes, toppings, and fillings.

A skilled donut decorator emphasises the art of layering glazes and frostings, utilising professional tools for accuracy, and adding distinctive toppings. By combining techniques such as marbling and piping, a simple donut can be transformed into an exquisite edible masterpiece.
