Rainbows have been a favorite of Teagan’s for years.  In fact one of her birthday parties was a theme all around Rainbow Unicorns and most recently she has declared that if she was a superhero, her super suit would be rainbow colored.  With St. Patrick’s Day just around the corner you better believe we are embracing the rainbow and getting creative with some crafts and food.

6. Add a bit of coconut flakes to the ends of the donuts to create “clouds”.  

TIP – only do one donut at a time so the sprinkles will stick before the frosting hardens. 

7. Let frosting set before enjoying.  Create these ahead of time for parties and keep in sealed container to keep them fresh for your gathering.  ENJOY!

Super cute right?  Because you cut the rainbow donuts in half they really are the perfect size dessert for little ones.  We had a fun time decorating these and I think they turned out so cute.  I cannot wait to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with these adorable and tasty Rainbow Donut treats!  And for any upcoming Rainbow themed parties or gatherings you better believe I will be making these.  I just love the way they turned out.  

They did take some concentration and sticky fingers but since I used store bought frosting and donuts the prep was pretty easy.
