I was ready to take a delicious looking donut when I looked closer and discovered the donuts were really mini pumpkins.  I saw this display in my dental office and thought it was a great idea.

Directions for Making Faux Pumpkin Donuts

The pumpkin “donuts” were made by using real icing swirled on top of mini pumpkins.  One icing had chocolate added to it and the other was tinted with orange food coloring.  Real black and orange sprinkles were added before the icing hardened.  A few were dusted with powdered sugar.

Place the decorated donuts in a DD Box.

This is, also, a great way to use up left over cake icing in a creative way.

What could be a better trick on Halloween?  On the plus side no cavities either.
