Hey guys it’s Ro! Welcome to another Nerdy Nummies!
As some of you may know, national donut day is coming up soon, June 6th.
I’m super excited, I love donuts!
And, I’ve been getting so many requests from you guys to do something Lord of the Rings
related. So if you can’t tell by my Middle Earth map dress, today I mean business,
we are gonna be decorating some geeky donuts, that are Lord of the Rings themed.
Alright, let’s get started!
The things you will need, will be: Some different types of donuts, I went to my local
bakery, but you can go to a grocery store, or whatever is easiest for you.
I have got regular glazed donuts, some custard filled donuts, and some maple bars.
And then to decorate, I’ve got different colors of cookie icing, the colors I’m using
are dark brown, red brown, light brown, green and white.
Now let’s put it all together!
The first donut that I’m gonna be decorating are the custard filled donuts,
they look like this, they’re round, they’re flat, and they’re filled with deliciousness!
I’m gonna be decorating the top of the donut to look like the iconic door of Bilbo Baggins
home in the Shire, Bag End. I put some green icing in a decorating baggie with a number
2 tip at the end for a little bit more control, and I’m just gonna pipe a circle
on the top of the donut. After you’ve finished icing the green circles on top of your donut,
now we are gonna take the 3 different colors of brown icing right here.
Dark, red, and light, and we’re gonna be icing little rectangles all the way around
the green circle to look like bricks.
Just finished our bricks and now we are gonna add some more details, this part is totally
optional, but I like to do it because it will look just like the little Hobbit door!
So you’re gonna take the green icing, I’ve added a number 1 tip,
so it will be a smaller line, and now we’re just gonna draw vertical lines down the circle,
to look like the wood on the door.
And then we are gonna take our red brown frosting because it’s the closest to brass
that I have, and I put a number 1 at the end, and we are gonna do a little boop!
A little circle in the middle of the door to be the door knocker!
Now we are gonna take our regular glazed donuts and I'm gonna decorate them to look like
the one ring. I’m really excited, all you need is white cookie icing, and I put a number
1 tip at the end, and we are gonna do our best to write elvish all the way around the donut.
And if you mess up, it’s OK, because most people don’t read elvish!
I won’t tell, Cookie won’t tell, by the way, if you’ve been hearing snoring, it is
because Cookie has been sleeping, right down there. She likes to keep me company
when I’m baking, just in case I drop a treat.
The last donut that we are gonna be decorating are these maple bars!
I chose a donut that was a little bit longer so that I could fit, oooh! The Evenstar on it!
This is just so cute, I have a little replica necklace, I lost the chain to it, so I couldn’t
wear it today, but, I’m gonna set it right over here. I’m gonna use it as a reference
as I ice the design on top of my donut.
Da-da! Here are the Lord of the Ring Donuts that we made today!
Thanks you guys for suggesting something Lord of the Rings.
And remember these are super easy mode to make, all you need is different colors
of cookie icing, and your favorite donuts, boom!
And then you can have geeky donuts, for National Donut Day!

I get a big kick out of seeing your baking creations, it just makes my day!
I’ll be posting pictures of these donuts on Facebook, Tumblr, Instagram and Twitter!
