Donuts

I had so much fun making these cookies. I cut circles of gingerbread cookie dough and placed on mini donut try. Once they were baked I smoothened the edges with a micro plane. Using royal icing I put two halves together. Then I dipped them in royal icing and put sprinkles on them.

The plate is a cookie I shaped over a ceramic saucer. However, the center got stuck to the saucer. But I placed a fondant (imprinted) doily over the plate.

Given the excess heat and humidity right now in Los Angeles, the cookies were getting softer. Other than that issue it was a breeze.

Thank you Julia @Julia M. Usher and Manu @Manu biscotti decorati for this wonderful challenge.

OMG, these cookies are so realistic! Are you sure there isn't a real donut in there somewhere?! Awesome job!
