Ingredients
24 assorted donuts
1 large cake stand or tiered tray
6 to 8 wooden skewers or dowels
1 cup fresh berries or edible flowers (optional)
1/2 cup frosting or icing (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
1. Choose a large cake stand or platter to fit the bottom layer of donuts.
2. Arrange the largest donuts in a circle on the base, making sure they touch to create a strong foundation.
3. Stack additional layers of donuts on top, reducing the number of donuts with each tier to create a cone shape.
4. Insert wooden skewers or dowels down through the center of the tower to secure the layers.
5. Place a single donut or mini donuts at the top for a decorative finish.
6. Fill any gaps with fresh berries or edible flowers.
7. Optional: drizzle frosting or icing across donuts for a gourmet touch.
Notes
Use donuts of uniform size for a more stable and neat-looking tower.
If building tall, secure layers with skewers or dowels to prevent shifting.
Add decorative toppings last to avoid smearing or sliding during stacking.
