Sometimes it’s tough to figure out new ways to spice up a girl’s get together. However, we’ve come up with something that we think will add a twist to the normal get together. Most everyone loves donuts, so why not collect a variety and turn it into a relaxing Saturday brunch.
What are some tips on hosting a doughnut tasting brunch? We have a few that will ensure your brunch a success.
Where to get doughnuts? – You can either make doughnuts or pick them up at your local bakery. If you decide to try your hand at making your own doughnuts, it might be fun to get everyone involved. However, if that’s just a little too much than you’d like to do, order the best from each bakery for your party. If you can’t swing paying for all of the doughnuts and pastries yourself, you can split it up between your friends and each visit one bakery. That way, you all feel like you’ve contributed to the menu and you can each tell about what you learned from the bakeries. This makes for good brunch conversation starters.
Get fancy with it – The term “brunch” just sounds fancy, so why not go a little bit further than you might for just a regular get together? Your definition of fancy might be totally different than someone else’s, and that’s just fine. For me, it just means pulling out some of the prettier stuff in my kitchen. Glass vases, jars, and my vintage saucers that I found at a flea market. Fancy doesn’t have to mean expensive. This is a great time to get creative with the word “fancy” and really make whatever room the brunch will take place in pretty and feminine.
What drinks to serve – Complementing a doughnut or pastry can be tricky since you don’t want anything too sweet or heavy. Milk is always a good drink to chase down a yummy doughnut. You can also go out-of-the-box a little bit and have things like water with fresh lemon or lime slices, hot coffee, or iced coffee. Don’t worry too much about the drinks since you want the food to be the main focus.
Find a favorite – Throughout the brunch have everyone search for their favorite dougnutt or pastry. Keep track of the favorites and see which ones reigned supreme and which ones didn’t. This way you can find out another little detail about your friends and what they like. Have little pieces of paper for each person to fill out their favorite and least favorite and throw into the middle of the table for discussion.
When wanting to do a change up to your normal girl’s get together routine, go with a doughnut tasting brunch! It’s something unique, but all the girls will love it.
