I love doughnuts, and I thought why not have a doughnut party!! 






Preparation: 
Have each of the guests bring a different type of doughnut. 
To make it a bit special, make or buy doughnut drops, and put out some sauces

For example, caramel sauce, strawberry sauce etc. Add another plate of powdered sugar or chocolate sprinkles and the guests will be able to create their own doughnut.
