Doughnut Seeds

So I stumbled upon an image of some cherios in a pack, labelled “doughnut seeds” and I thought that was the cutest thing ever… and since my brother-in-law said he wanted doughnuts for Xmas, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to have a bit of a joke. I liked the look of some seed packs I found, but I wanted to be able to see the seeds inside… since I wanted to go to the effort of making different seed “varieties”. So I made my own packs. You can download it to print for yourself if you like.

There are 4 varieties in my packs. Cinnamon, Pink iced, Choc iced and a mixed pack. I’ve left the middle blank so you can cut it out, stick some plastic behind and show the seeds off 🙂

To make them, just take come cherios… For the cinnamon ones I tossed them in some cinnamon and sugar mix (you could leave them plain, but they look a bit more realistic when coated, especially since I’d bought the honey ones and they looked shiny) If you leave them out on a plate for a couple of hours they go a bit sticky and the cinnamon will stick better. For the iced ones I made a small amount of icing and dipped them in, then I dipped them in sprinkles. I crushed the sprinkles a bit to make them smaller to fit the scale better.
