If you only have 1 baking pan you will need to repeat the steps until all batter is used.

Decorating ingredients:

• 1 cut out of the electrical part on Frankenstein’s neck
• 1 bag of black candy melts
• 1 bottle of silver edible spray
• 1 box of toothpicks
• cutting board
• powdered sugar for dusting on the cutting board

Decorating directions:

• Roll out the fondant onto the cutting board to ⅛  inch thick.
• Cut out the shape of the electrical part. You will need 30 cutouts for each doughnut.
• Spray each piece with the edible dust and allow the pieces to dry for an hour.

Vanilla doughnut icing ingredients:

• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon clear corn syrup
• ½  cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract
• Green and Black gel food coloring
• 2 disposable piping bags
• 2 squeeze bottles

Icing Directions:

1. Using a standing mixer, combine the powdered sugar, corn syrup, milk, and vanilla extract and mix on medium to high speed until smooth and thick.
2. Scoop about ¾ cup of the icing into 2 bowls.
3. Add a few drops of green to one bowl and a few drops of black to the second bowl.
4. Scoop some of the two icings into their own piping bags.
5. Pour the remaining icings into their own squeeze bottles and set them aside.

Decorating directions:

• Using a knife, cut slits into the top corners of the doughnut for Mickey’s ears and place a black candy melt into the slits.
• Using the black icing piping bag, pipe the lines of Mickey’s hair and fill in the lines with the black icing. Allow to dry for 30 minutes.
• Using the green icing bag, pipe a line under the black lines for his skin.
• Fill in the rest of the doughnuts with the green icing and allow to dry for an hour.
• On the back of the fondant piece, pipe a skinny line of icing to act as “glue” and place a toothpick into the icing. Carefully push toothpick into the side of the doughnut.

Enjoy!
