Last week I was grocery shopping at Walmart when I found this DIY candy kit by Kracie from Tokyo Japan. These DIY candy kits have shown up on shows I've seen, and I've always been curious about them. For a few bucks I thought it was worth the whirl to try it out once. These mini doughnuts look so cute! It was worth a try.
The back of the box has clear directions in English with pictures.
There were so many scissor cut marks I wasn't sure if I was doing it right.
Powder packs for the dough and sauce with sprinkles and crumbles.
Separating the plastic tray.
So I probably made a mistake on this step by using cold water from the water filter. I didn't want to use tap water, but the purified water comes out quite cold. Mixing it together was so weird! It was a powdery, cold, dough like sensation in my hands as I kneaded and rolled this substance, which wasn't the least bit appetizing. I was questioning life choices by this point. Did I really want to eat it?
Putting it in the mold.
Now for the sauce.
There was a little bag I could have used to pipe the sauce with, but just didn't bother using, because by this point I wanted to throw it all together before I lost my will to try them.
The mini doughnuts turned out looking cute!
I'm clearly not good at decorating said doughnuts. What a mess. :P
Final verdict:
I'm glad I tried this once. They didn't taste great. The texture was really weird. But kids would probably love doing this, as it is a fun process. A messy, fun process. Telling myself I was doing an experiment made it more enjoyable. So, yeah. Fun once. Definitely more for kids. I'll stick with full size warm doughnuts. And if you want to try this, use warmer water! It might have made a difference, I don't know. What was I thinking?
