Highlight of our weekend baking projects... Homer's favourite donut in The Simpsons with Bart, Millhouse and Ralph hanging around. Sometimes I am still amazed at what sugar and more sugar i.e., fondant can do. Amazing stuff when you think about it. And to turn it into different textures like fondant sprinkles....

Not exactly a baker's friend. However, you bake what you gotta cake. So this week, we had to be super duper prepared...
