MMMM….donuts. Who doesn’t like these warm, sugary baked goods? They bring a smile to your face and fill your tummy with yummy goodness. What better way to celebrate National Donut Day than with donuts, crafts, and bakery visits? National Donut Day is on Friday, June 7 this year. Here are some delicious suggestions on how to celebrate.

Visit a Bakery

Hint: come to Robinette’s! Doughnuts remain our most popular item, which was our first baked good offered when we opened our doors in 1972. From maple bacon donuts to pumpkin spice donuts, you can check out how we make them in season. Did you know our donut machine can churn out 200 dozen donuts per hour?

Our pumpkin spice doughnuts are offered from Labor Day through Thanksgiving, but you can enjoy many other baked goods any time of the year, such as pies, rolls, cheese breads, apple breads, and muffins. Just place your bakery orders by telephone and we’ll take care of the rest.

Get Crafty

For this cute donut craft, you will need:

  • Cardstock
  • Hole punch
  • Glue stick
  • Scissors
  • String
  • CD
  • Pencil

Directions:

  • Trace the CD onto a piece of brown cardstock.
  • Cut it out.
  • Make swirly “frosting” to go on top of the brown cardstock in various colors; glue to cardstock.
  • Cut out small bits of “sprinkles” in a variety of colors or use scraps; glue to frosting.
  • Punch a hole in the middle and at the top and use string to hang your donuts.

Decorate Your Own Donut

Have some friends over, purchase some plain donuts, and put out a variety of toppings such as sprinkles, frosting, colored sugar, fruit, nuts, candy bits, and cereal. Voila! A custom donut just like you like it. Make as many as you want and swap with friends. Grab some donut holes and do the same for a quick treat you can pop in your mouth.
