Blizzards and Donuts

So tonight we embarked on quite a baking adventure. Justin got a Blizzard maker for Christmas so he finally talked us into making them. Let me tell you that was an adventure. First the mixture spilled all over the counter because the valve was not shut all the way....

After we got that cleaned up and poured the mixture into the mixing cavity the handle broke. I don't know if it was just poor craftsmanship or what. The only way we could finish what we started was to turn the little tiny piece very carefully in our own hand instead of using the little crank handle.

After the Blizzards were done, I ventured into making donuts with my donut maker that I got for Christmas. This adventure was quite fun. It is my new favorite toy. I say donuts every morning. These are my yummy donuts that I made. I decided to go with green icing. I don't know why, but I just felt like they should be green. Maybe it was because I was looking at the Oriental Trading Catalog earlier and they had a bunch of St. Patty's Day stuff. I had to leave some of them plain for Tim. He didn't want all of the icing. I can't wait to make more donuts and try out some of the flavored donuts.
