Perfect for people with a sweet tooth as well as fans of science fiction and space, the dessert uses a standard icing sugar-based donut glaze with an outer space-themed esthetic. This effect is mimicked using gel food coloring in hues like navy blue, red and maroon. Adding some silver sparkle is also a nice touch, giving the appearance of stars.
