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.
Rainbow Donut Treats
Ingredients For Rainbow Donuts:
Store bought glazed donuts – you could make your own donuts if you have time.
1 container of vanilla frosting – not whipped
Rainbow sprinkles or rainbow colored cereal
Shredded coconut flakes
Directions for Rainbow Donuts:
1. Cut each glazed donut in half.
2. Remove lid and foil from frosting container. Microwave frosting for 40 seconds.
3. Pour melted frosting into a shallow bowl.
4. Dip a half donut into the melted frosting, just covering the top of the donut.
5. Set on a plate and begin to decorate with rainbow sprinkles in a rainbow form carefully pressing the sprinkles into the wet frosting.
6. Add a bit of coconut flakes to the ends of the donuts to create “clouds”.

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.
