How to make donut glaze in the brightest hues you've ever seen.

  1. Whisk together the powdered sugar, water, and food coloring in a bowl.
  2. Adjust consistency of the glaze, by adding a small amount of sugar if it’s too watery, or adding water if looks too thick.
  3. Repeat in a couple different bowls to get various shades of color.
  4. Pour the glaze over the donuts, cookies, apples or cakes... Seriously, this would be amazing on almost anything.
  5. Add sprinkles, candies, or jimmies while the glaze is still wet and allow the donuts to set before eating (if you can help yourself!).
