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
- 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)
- Ice your cupcake
- 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)
- 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
- Place a very small dot of icing on the cookie (aka mortarboard) and attach your tassel
