  Step 1

  Start by conditioning your clay. (I've used Premo Ecru)
  and roll your clay into a ball.

• 

  Step 2

  Press down gently on your ball to slightly flatten the top and bottom

• 

  Step 3

  To make the icing- roll a piece of coloured clay into a small ball. Squish the ball between your fingers to flatten it. Gently pull at the sides to make your clay a thin, slightly distorted shape.

• 

  Step 4

  place this piece on the top of your doughnut. Smooth the edges down so it is stuck to the doughnut. The distorted edges will give a dripping look to the icing!

• 

  Step 5

  With a pokey tool, push a hole into the center of your doughnut.

• 

  Step 6

  To make the sprinkles for your doughnut, roll some very thin snakes of bright coloured clay. Use your knife to cut small pieces to form the sprinkles.
  (Hint - you can pre-bake these so you have a bunch for whenever you need them)

• 

  Step 7

  For the drizzle icing and to hold your clay sprinkles on - use white liquid clay. (I've used Sculpey brand, however it is also available in Fimo brand)

• 

  Step 8

  Cure (bake) in the oven at the clay manufacturers recommended instructions. If you find your clay is still to soft - and not baked properly- you can bake longer but not hotter.

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have two questions. I've heard it hard to keep eyelets (not sure if that's the correct term) in the clay, have you tips on that, and what size eyelets did you use?

Hi! The ones I’ve used are quite small- only 8mm long. I don’t have too much trouble with them staying in- I just make sure to twist them in- then press the clay tightly around the top. If I feel the hole is too loose- I’ll bake without them in- and glue them in once baked.
Hope that helps!
