It's Time to Make the Doughnuts...

Remember that Dunkin Donuts commercial where that little bald man with the moustache would get up and drag himself into work before dawn to make the doughnuts? Well, this week, Kindergarten visited a bakery and were taught how doughnuts are truly made. Oh the joy! Is there anything better than a field trip to eat doughnuts? I think not...

First, the children learned how to cut the dough and got to hold a doughnut before it was cooked...

Can you look this happy on any other kind of field trip? The joy was tangible...

After this, the children actually got to ice and decorate their own doughnut! Most of the children delicately took their doughnut and carefully dipped it in the chocolate and then slowly put it in the sprinkles. But not my pastry-loving child. Oh no.. she grabbed her doughnut and dunked the entire thing in the chocolate. It wasn't just a chocolate iced doughnut; it was a chocolate dipped doughnut. After that, she aggressively rolled it in sprinkles. That was the most sugary doughnut that I've ever seen!

But the real joy was not in learning how to make the doughnuts or even decorating the doughnuts... the real joy was eating the doughnuts!!!

Lots and lots of fun was had by all. And as a side note... was there any doubt that Daddy would make it to this field trip. He didn't come to the airplane field trip, or the biscuit field trip... but he came to the doughnut field trip! Where do you think she gets her love of pastry from, hmmm??
