It would have been too easy and cliched to put candles atop a box of doughnuts for Officer Mike's birthday. This cake, decorated to look like a box of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, was definitely more fun to create and not overly time consuming. A simple 9 x 13 inch cake was placed on a serving platter and frosted with white buttercream icing. The mini-doughnuts, from three snack-sized packages, were sliced in half and arranged on the cake top. Instead of piping the trademark label, I cheated a bit and cut some out of a real box of Krispie Kremes (bonus was a fattening, non-nutritious but tasty breakfast), and attached them to the cake with a cement of icing. Finally the signature green dots were applied with a piping bag. This cake was fun to present to good-natured Mike, and the kids at the table requested a doughnut on their dessert plate instead of a piece of cake.
