1

Prepare the glaze

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and glossy.

2

Color and flavor the glaze

Dip a toothpick into a gel-based food coloring and swirl it into the glaze to achieve your desired color. Add a few drops of flavored extract (such as strawberry or lemon) to enhance the taste. Stir well to incorporate.

3

Dip the doughnuts

Take a cooled doughnut and hold it by the sides. Dunk the top side of the doughnut into the glaze, ensuring it's fully coated. Lift it out of the glaze and allow any excess to drip off.

4

Add sprinkles or toppings

While the glaze is still wet, immediately sprinkle your choice of toppings onto the doughnut. You can use colorful sprinkles, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or chocolate chips. Get creative!

5

Let the glaze set

Place the glazed doughnuts on a wire rack or parchment paper to allow the glaze to set. This will prevent any smudging or sliding off of the toppings. It usually takes around 15-20 minutes for the glaze to harden.
