These decadent holiday desserts are creatively decorated to look like pine tree wreathes that one might see hanging on a house's door during the winter season. These sweets are plain donuts that have been decorated with an expertly placed series of pipping to recreate the aesthetic of leaves.
The desserts are made using plain donuts that are covered in green royal icing. The icing is piped in small little teardrop blobs to create the shape of leaves. Then candied red hots are added to represent holy and edible bows to tie the wreath together.
These wreath donuts are a simple to make dessert that is much more casual, but equally as delicious and festive for the holidays.
