I love to make birthdays memorable with details. This year we celebrated my husband’s birthday with some really fun baked doughnuts. Because we love to enjoy our daily cup of afternoon coffee, I thought we could turn it into a fun birthday event with some colorful and festive baked doughnuts. Baked with Betty Crocker™ Yellow Cake Mix, the doughnuts were ready in less than 30 minutes with ease and no fuss.
