Magical Unicorn Donuts

Yep, I did it. I jumped on the unicorn bandwagon. It was peer pressure, Facebook made me do it. All those delicious unicorn recipe videos finally got to me. They are just so cute and magical and glittery.

These Magical Unicorn Donuts are my first attempt at unicorn food and I think they turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself.

(I’m not getting paid to promote this FYI, I just really, really like this stuff so I wanted to share!)

Armed with my trusty natural food coloring, I set to work on these delicious donuts. They were a lot of fun to make and of course, they were a huge hit with the kids (No duh! They are unicorn donuts!!!) and my husband liked them too, so yay! Next time I think I may kick it up a notch with some almond extract and edible glitter. Yum!
