So apparently national doughnut day is a thing. And just like so many of the countless social media holidays, I am totally on board with it. (my favorite is probably national wine drinking day though) Anyhoo, Dawn from Revel & Glitter asked me to participate in a week of donut celebrations with 10 other bloggers and I thought it would be fun to add my own flair to a doughnut project.
I love the beauty of naked cakes (you can see some examples from a Boho Party & How to Make A Naked Cake) I thought how pretty would “naked” donuts be for a brunch or baby shower or wedding shower or a Tuesday?
Pick up some edible flowers, lavender and decorate your donuts and table with them. Simple and beautiful.
Also, a little hint if you want to save your eyes… Never google the term “naked donut” when you are checking to see if it has been done multiple times by other bloggers. Naked donut does NOT mean donuts with pretty flowers on them. I am haunted by the images.

that doesnt even look good, and the flowers wont add much flavor. the lavender is too dry to be tasty. You cant just throw edible flowers on things and think its good idea. this has to be a joke.
Hi Jane! Thank you! I think it looks beautiful, I love flowers on everything. Edible flowers also look gorgeous in punches (https://abubblylife.com/2017/11/citrus-prosecco-punch.html/) and salads. Here is a list of the different tastes they have: https://whatscookingamerica.net/EdibleFlowers/EdibleFlowersMain.htm I mostly do it just for looks though.
Also, we will have to agree to disagree on lavender- I LOVE lavender flavor & I used fresh on the donuts, not dried, I have several lavender plants. Have you ever tried lavender lemonade? It is freaking delicious.
These look amazing. If I could eat one every single day I would. We should throw edible flowers on everything, its a great idea!
These look so tasty, and I’m an expert on carbs, edible flowers, and on being a decent human being, so I should know!
