Donut Graduation Cupcakes

If you have a graduate who’s finally gone and “done it” then these are the graduation donut cupcakes for you! You’ll only need a few ingredients for these no-bake treats.

Recently we launched a new graduation collection (invitations, printables, damask table decor) and I got busy in the kitchen to create a fun new twist on the mortarboard graduation cupcake. I came up with two ideas. The first, a mini cupcake with Hershey’s Bliss mortarboard and twistie tassel, was a bit more traditional and I posted it a few week’s ago.

This is the second, and in my opinion a bit more fun, using a chocolate covered donut as the graduate’s head {wink}.

Donut Graduation Cupcakes Ingredients

  • small chocolate covered donut
  • Keebler Deluxe Graham cookie
  • fruit chews (match to school colors)
  • white icing

How To Make Donut Graduation Cupcakes

  1. Cut two pieces of fruit chew. One for the scroll (roll and set aside) and one for the tassel (cut a 1.5 x 1.5 inch square; using a straight edge knife cut individual threads leaving the top .5 inch attached; roll)
  2. Ice your cupcake
  3. Set one donut in the center of the cupcake and insert the scroll (do this while your icing is fresh so that it will hold)
  4. Using a small dollop of icing, attach the Keebler Deluxe Graham cookie to the top of the donut and allow it to set for a few minutes
  5. Place a very small dot of icing on the cookie (aka mortarboard) and attach your tassel
