It's Monday and what better way to start the week off than coffee and doughnuts.  I could eat doughnuts all day everyday, but I would end up being very round.  I'm dying to get to Portland and get my hands on some Voodoo Doughnuts.  My love of coffee is a different story.  I never had a single cup of coffee until I met my husband and he loves coffee and drinks it everyday.  I may have one to two cups a week.

I really enjoy using this coffee mug because it's very versatile.  I used it to make these coffee mugs back at Christmas time and these for my sister.  I started off by piping and icing the the top of the cup white.  While the icing was still wet, I added the grey shading.  I wanted to make the cup portion different than plain white ones you always see.  Kyle said to make the cups orange, so I made the cups a two tone orange.  Once the orange was dry, I used a food coloring marker to drawn on where the coffee sleeve would be.  I piped and flooded it with light brown icing.  When I icing dried, I used black food coloring and a stamp from this set to stamp the sleeve.  I like the message of "You Can Do It".  Coffee can motivate us to do anything right!

For the doughnuts, I used a large and smaller circle.  I used the same light brown to pipe and flood the doughnuts.  Once the light brown was dry I created different doughnut designs on each with sprinkles and icing.
