Donuts are delicious, warm, soft treats that deserve their own day of recognition. Doughnut lovers: you’re in luck because June 6 is National Donut Day. From donuts to crafts to bakery visits, check out these delicious suggestions on how you can celebrate this delightful day.

Visit Robinette’s Bakery

Doughnuts have long been one of our most popular items, and for good reason. In fact, donuts were the first baked good we debuted when we opened our bakery back in 1972. From maple bacon donuts to pumpkin spice donuts (Labor Day through Thanksgiving), come see how our donut machine can produce 200 dozen donuts per hour.

There are many other baked goods we make all throughout the year, such as muffins, pies, rolls, and cheese and apple breads. Simply place your bakery orders by phone and we will get to work on your order.

Try a Donut Craft

This paper plate doughnut craft is great to try with the kids.

You will need:

  • Paper plate
  • Craft paint (light brown for donut, and your choice for icing)
  • Colored rice “sprinkles” (recipe here)
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Paintbrush

Directions:

  • Cut a hole in the middle of the paper plate.
  • Brush a coat of light brown paint on the plate; let dry.
  • Top it with a layer of pink paint for the icing.
  • Add glue and then sprinkles (white rice that you can dye yourself).

Decorate Doughnuts Like a Pro

If you’re having a party and need an activity for your baked good lovers, you can decorate your own donuts. Make or buy plain doughnuts, then either dip them into a homemade glaze of different flavors (recipes here) or drizzle the glaze on top with a spoon.

Gather colorful, chocolate and non-pareil sprinkles, as well as colored sugar, pearls, nuts, cereal, fruit, or chopped candy. You can sort toppings into small bowls, or use an ice cube tray or cupcake pan for easy access.
