Equipment

  • piping bag and tip
  • cooling racks
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients

  • 12 donuts store-bought or premade
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ½ tsp. Vanilla extract
  • 10 ounces white vanilla or candy melting wafers
  • Black gel coloring
  • Orange gel coloring
  • Purple gel coloring

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla, until smooth.
  • Divide the sugar mixture evenly into 3 separate bowls.
  • To one bowl, add black gel coloring, whisking, and adding more, as need, to get your desired shade.
  • Repeat for the other two bowls with the orange and then the purple gel coloring.
  • Prepare a cooling rack with a piece of parchment paper (or foil or something similar) underneath.
  • Dip the tops of the donuts into the colorful icing, and let the excess drip off for a few seconds.
  • Place them face up on the cooling rack.
  • Repeat for all of the donuts, alternating what color icing you dip into.
  • Allow the donuts to set so the icing can harden.
  • Then, melt the melting wafers in a microwave safe bowl, on 30 second increments, stirring well in between.
  • Once melted, allow the candy just a couple of minutes to cool.
  • Add the candy to a frosting piping bag, and snip off just the very tip.
  • Use the candy to make your spider webs, starting with the lines across and then connecting them with little waves to make your spider webs.

Notes

Tip: To get an idea of how to do this, trace one with a toothpick first before adding the candy.
Store leftovers in an airtight container.
