7. Repeat steps until all batter is used
8. Vanilla glaze Directions:
9. In a large bowl combine the powdered sugar, vanilla, salt and milk and mix until combined
10. If the glaze has powdered sugar clumps still, mix in another tbsp of milk
11. Split the glaze into two bowls
12. In one bowl add in a few drops of yellow gel food coloring and mix until combined. You will want to try and get the yellow glaze to match the yellow candy melts
13. In the second bowl, mix in a few drops of the red gel coloring. Add in a few more drops of red until you get Pooh's bright red shade. Cover and set aside
14. Decorating Directions :
15. Make sure that your wire rack is on top of a larger cookie sheet so that when you pour the yellow glaze onto the doughnuts, the glaze will not drip onto the counter
16. Grab a cooled doughnut and cut a slit into the side of the doughnut for pooh's ears
17. Lightly push in a candy melt into the slit
18. Repeat step with the other side of the doughnut and remaining doughnuts
19. Place the doughnuts onto the wire rack and pour the yellow glaze onto the doughnuts
20. Allow glaze to dry for an hour before adding the red glaze
21. Once the yellow glaze has slightly hardened, take a large knife, spatula or anything that is flat and carefully place in the middle of the doughnut
22. Do not touch the doughnut because this is going to act as a shield for when you pour the red glaze on
23. Carefully pour the red glaze onto the lower half of Pooh's doughnut
24. Using the black icing, pipe on his face details
