As a food/lifestyle columnist, I always enjoy the challenge to come up with fun and interesting ideas-solutions that add a little “extra pizzaz” to the predictable.
It’s been a year since Mishpacha Magazine asked me to write an article about Donut Walls. Although donut walls are generally made out of wooden boards and pegs, I was hesitant to put the donuts on splintery/painted wood. Thus was born The EstherO Acrylic Donut Wall which is both food-safe and washable. Our line has since expanded to The EstherO Cupcake Wall, The EstherO Round Donut Wall, Donut Stands, Acrylic Screw-on Donut Wall Rods (for DIYers) with many more exciting party products to come.
We are constantly creating cool and exciting ways to decorate and display donuts. As donuts are ever so popular now at high-end, elegant weddings, birthday parties and everything in between, the donut has become more than just a sprinkle topped donut!!
In honor of Chanukah, we are so excited to share a sampling of some of the many decorating ideas.
