Rudolph the Reindeer looks pretty cute in doughnut form! With mini cinnamon doughnuts as the main ingredient, I promise this idea is easy to make and easy to eat!
As a treat to leave for Santa or for a treat for the little ones before Santa arrives, these little doughnuts will be devoured as quickly as they are made. The Rudolph donuts would also be a sweet treat for a Christmas breakfast or brunch. If your school allows sweets to be brought to class, these doughnuts also make a fantastic idea for class parties. They are easy enough to make for a crowd- or they can be one of the activities that the children do at the party.
To assemble the adorable Rudolph doughnuts, you will need
- mini cinnamon doughnuts (I used Entemann’s above and Tasty Kake below)
- mini candy canes
- candy eyes
- small red candy or round sprinkles
- frosting
- spreader or toothpick or skewer
- Stack 2 doughnuts on top of each other.
- Insert 2 mini candy canes in the hole of the doughnut.
- Put a dab of frosting on candy eyes with toothpick and stick eyes to the doughnut.
- Add a red nose using the frosting to keep the nose in place.
- Hold by the bottom donut – serve, and enjoy!
You can also make Rudolph doughnuts with one donut at a time. You will want to break the straight end of the candy cane a little bit to shorten the candy so that it will fit in the middle of the doughnut better.
You can also use a stack of 3 doughnuts! See below for a taller Rudoloph~
Any way that you serve them, you are sure to get smiles and laughter! Kids love these (and so do adults)! I would love to see them if you make them! Tag me on Instagram so that I can find the photos and enjoy those cute Rudolph doughnuts this Christmas!
Still can’t get enough of Rudolph? You can find more Rudolph ideas on my blog!
Cheers,

Celebrating your birthday with a Mexican Fiesta is a sure way to have a great time! My daughter and several of her friends had a ball with all of the bright colors and (hopefully) vivid memories of a beautiful party day full of fun!

For instance, we know hedgehogs don’t hail from Mexico- but when she fell in love with a festive-looking hedgehog at a local shop, we decided the hedgehog would make a perfectly fun party favor! So read on and enjoy- and hopefully you will find an idea or two that you can use for a Mexican-themed party or even a Cinco de Mayo celebration, too- and inspiration to incorporate ideas that make your party perfectly-suited for the birthday child!
LILLY PULITZER CAKE DECORATING FLAMINGO BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS
There is nothing like the bright colors and happy prints of Lilly Pulitzer to make every day feel like a party! For my daughter’s 12th birthday party, she wanted to decorate cakes~ Lilly-style! So, in order to decide how to mesh the two, I kept thinking “if Lilly had a cake shop instead of a juice stand”… I have to admit, this was one fun party to plan! It is a blast to see where ideas go in the hands of a TWEEN! Enjoy and remember, “…being happy never goes out of style!”.
LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE PARTY
What began as a simple gesture to introduce my daughter to a wonderful book series has become a special evening ritual for us- reading Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House books! I must admit, I didn’t realize quite how interesting these books would be to her, but she cannot wait to read all nine in the series. It was only fitting that her birthday party focus around Little House on the Prairie! Together, we had a ball planning all of the details of her party that related to the books in some way. At Camille’s request, we focused on some of her favorite parts of the stories… prairie flowers, covered wagons, tee pees, the colors in the drawings of the books, and “pretty”…because “Ma” liked things to be pretty!
Birthday Party Ideas for a Teen- How to Celebrate a TEEN
Wow! My daughter turned into a teen! Sometimes it can be tricky to decide what to do to celebrate this milestone. I wanted to share with you some ideas that may help if you want to mark the occasion but also keep it low-key. At first, my daughter wanted to have a very large sleepover to celebrate. I loved it that she wanted to include everyone she knew, but laughed at the thought of trying to corral close to 30 tweens and teens! So, I told her she could have a little, bitty, teeny sleepover and her “real” party could be bubble soccer (which she had been begging to do at this huge sleepover she was planning ). So, realizing the play on words with a “teeny” party, we went with the TEENY theme and used as many miniature things as we could. It was such a fun theme and the ideas could go on forever…but this is what we decided on for her teeny, little sleepover.
