This festive holiday display is a fun way to serve donuts for a family brunch or Christmas gathering.

The donut wreath can be assembled easily and is always a hit with kids!

Add plastic wrap to a foam wreath completely covering then add to a platter.

I used one package of mini powdered donuts and two packages assorted glazed donut holes.

Begin to add the donut holes all over the top and sides by inserting toothpicks at an angle halfway. 

Then gently push the donut holes through the center of each toothpick.

Continue to add donut holes and fill in with the mini powdered donuts too on the top. 

Add donuts until completely covered. 

Optional: you can add a bow or ribbon to the center front of the wreath.

Serve right away or cover with plastic wrap to keep from going stale.

I recommend you serve the day or the day after you assemble.

Hey, hey, hey it’s my birthday! I picked up some birthday freebies this week from my fave shops and restaurants including a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts. That reminded me of the delicious Krispy Kreme bread pudding from Lulu’s in Destin, FL that I enjoyed during one of my trips home. So instead of a birthday cake this year I made my own Copycat Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding! This rich dessert is made with chopped up glazed donuts and custard and served warm with whipped cream. If you have a sweet tooth like my family, you’ll love this sinful dessert!

Sign up for Krispy Kreme rewards and get a free dozen donuts on your birthday!

My girls love watching the assembly line and getting a free donut sample when we visit.

Start with one dozen glazed donuts. Obliviously I like Krispy Kreme! A day or two old works best for bread pudding.

Chop up the donuts into 6-8 pieces per donut. You should have about 10 cups.

Add chopped donuts to a large bowl.

In a separate bowl whisk together eggs, milk, condensed milk, vanilla, and cinnamon.

Mix well until no clumps remain.

Pour on top of the donuts.

It looks so good already!

Mix to coat well.

How simple was that?!

If you are adding raisins sprinkle them on and mix in.

Let sit and soak for 10 minutes.

Coat a 9×9 baking dish with non stick spray.
Pour the donuts and custard in the dish and spread out evenly.

Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes until golden and cooked through.

Slice into squares, top with whipped cream if you’d like, and serve warm.

Store leftovers in the fridge in a covered container for up to 5 days. 

Thanks for the birthday treats Krispy Kreme!
