Weekend Links: The Latest in National Donut Day Celebration

Donut Piñata via Studio DIY

Happy National Donut Day!! I have to admit, I'm more of a cake or cookies person and I never thought I'd embrace the donut trend. This is probably the result of growing up in New England, aka Dunkin' Donuts territory. And - sorry I'm not sorry - Dunkin' Donuts are disgusting. But during a trip to Portland, Maine last Thanksgiving I had my first experience at The Holy Donut and I can honestly say that their Maple donut changed my life. I cannot wait to go back later this month for another.

Here are a few ways you can celebrate National Donut Day today:
"I'm donuts over you" printable card (Sugar and Charm)
Donut printables for gift tags, favors or a garland (Oh Happy Day)
DIY donut balloons (Studio DIY)
Donuts gift bags (Paper-Source)
A donut piñata?! Too much fun. (Studio DIY)

On a non-pastry related note, I've been busy prepping for this weekend's fiesta and I can't wait to share what I'm putting together with you next week. Be sure to check out Shop Sweet Lulu and save some goodies in your cart to purchase next week with our exclusive promo code. This is a great chance to practice preparation for celebration: if you're planning a 4th of July party, these red white and blue gingham cupcake liners are perfect.

Enjoy your donuts!!
