I love baked donuts! (Well, I really love all donuts, and baked donuts are so easy to make.) This sprinkle version is perfect for a fun celebration! Robbie loves all things sprinkles, so I might have to make a batch with him to celebrate the end of his first week in kindergarten! (And I might have to nibble on one or two of these, too...)
