Doughnuts or Donuts: They've Gone Upscale!

I love doughnuts......especially fresh, warm sprinkled with some cinnamon sugar.  I don't like the fancy flavors or toppings, just glazed or sprinkled with some sugar.  Not only are they great with coffee and as a snack but also I think they make a great dessert.

I'm happy to report they have been making their appearance in the dessert category more and more.  Not to mention, donuts also make a great favors, who wouldn't want to go home with a warm donut!

Desserts Galore!



Just in case I didn't mention it before I heart desserts!!!!  So when I was in Borders yesterday, I had to pick this up!  It's a must for anyone who likes to bake, entertain, or just likes to eat desserts.  The recipes vary in difficulty and the number of whisks by the recipes let you know just how difficult!

Trust me, there are lots of easy recipes but if you're up to challenge, there are a number of four whisks recipes that will test your baking skills.  It's well worth picking up.  You cookbook library will thank you, your family and friends will thank you; just don't blame if you're constantly making desserts!

Check out this video for a taste of what's inside....grab a tissue because your mouth will be watering!



Enjoy!
