National Donut Day: A Donut a Day Keeps the…

If you follow us on Instagram, you know we are BIG DONUT PROPONENTS. Birthdays, Anniversaries, Fridays, days when we’re just here working . . . there is always a reason to have donuts around. So today, National Donut Day, is a little like a federal holiday for all of us here at Rockabye Baby HQ, which is exactly why I made donuts. I’ve never tried this recipe before (actually I’ve only made one batch of donuts with my new donut pan) but they turned out great. My donut-loving coworkers seem to enjoy them too.
