those look delicious. I've not been terribly impressed with "Baked Doughnuts" before but those look much nicer than the one's I've had.

I love cinnamon doughnuts! I will have to try this sometime; I've never tried baked doughnuts. I wish there were some photos for the last steps though.

That sounds so good! I love donuts! That is a great idea for a donut pan, too.

In my experience, I shaped my donuts buy rolling them out and cutting the holes out and such. The dough I usually work with cannot be piped. Its a good idea though :) I really like the concept of it. Good job on the ible!
