I make everything about food. So when I finished reading Jasmine Guillory's fantastic novel, The Wedding Date, one of the things I latched onto was the heroine's love for pink donuts with sprinkles.

After seeing all these amazing baked doughnuts on various blogs, I finally caved and bought a doughnut pan. I've made 3 batches now -- caramel apple (minus the caramel topping), and 2 chocolate ones with different cocoa. But I'm just not sold. They're more like doughnut shaped muffins. Somehow I thought this pan was going to magically make doughnut shop-like doughnuts. I can just hear Alton Brown saying, "That pan's a unitasker. You know better. A real doughnut is fried at 365 degrees for 1 minute per side." And if he said that, he would be right. But that's not where this story ends.
