Make Some Web-Slinging Sweets!: DIY Spider-Man Doughnuts

June 9th, 2017 Amanda Vinson DIY, Features, Loot Crate DX, Marvel Gear & Goods, Recipes

If I could have any superpower, it would probably be to summon dozens of doughnuts at anytime. Sadly, such power does not exist (yet)… but my research is getting close.

Spectacular Spider-Man (Marvel Animation)

To celebrate the release of Spider-Man: Homecoming, along with the best national holiday known to man, (National Doughnut Day); I whipped up some Baked Funfetti Spider-Man Doughnuts!

Peter Parker has always been one of my favorite comic book characters. He is just an everyday relatable kid. You know, as long as you’re a teenager having to “deal with the normal struggles of adolescence in addition to those of a costumed crime-fighter.” Easy stuff right?

9.When you’re ready to glaze the doughnuts, whisk together all the ingredients for the glaze and dip the doughnut into the glaze, setting them on a wire rack. Let glaze set slightly before decorating with spider web design.
