This post is for the gazillion Google hits I got on my old blog for people searching for “Krispy Kreme Donut Cakes”.
So This? Is my wedding cake. Yes. It’s made out of Krispy Kreme Donuts. Yes. A Krispy Kreme Donut Wedding Cake. The outer layer are powdered donuts to give the “white” appearance, but all the inner ones? Glazed, Baby. Because those? Are like bits of heaven, in the form of little rings. Most importantly? People talked about it all night long and they are STILL talking about it.
See? I wasn’t about to spend 800 plus dollars on a cake I wouldn’t eat, because I don’t eat cake. I mean – I eat cake – but I prefer various other desserts. LIKE DONUTS. (Is a donut a dessert? Let’s pretend it is.) I stumbled upon something somewhere that referenced a wedding cake made out of stacked Krispy Kremes. This sounded like a dream “cake” to me. So? I made one myself.
ALL total? It took about 30 minutes to make and cost about 100 dollars, stand and all. I bought the tiers for the stand at Michael’s and bought the cake topper at Wal-Mart. I just ordered enough donuts to stack on the tiers and asked them to send me a bag of powdered sugar to sprinkle around the outside since I new the sugar would come off the donuts as I stacked them.
Finally? The I went to the Target bakery and asked for 50 froze icing flowers in lavender. I used a butter knife to slide them off the sheet and onto my cake tiers to add a sort of decoration so it wasn’t just donuts. Not that there’s anything wrong with that!
It was the perfect solution for our tight-budget and unique wedding. It is also very cool to be able to say that I had a donut cake at my wedding. In case you were wondering the real motivation.
Oh – and if you see a few chocolate glazed donuts in there? It is because we didn’t order enough glazed and had to use the donuts from the groom’s cake, which my hubby picked out.
I’m throwing a baby shower for a friend who loves Krispy Kreme donuts and I would like to make her a cake out of them. Could you tell me how you did your wedding cake? It looks great.
Thanks!
Please help me make the wedding cake of my dreams:) In spirit of Halloween my fiance and I wish to have a donut wedding cake with an apple cider fountain:) please respond:) thanks.Ila
My best friend Christine would love a Krispy Kreme wedding cake for her wedding shower. I do not want to spend a lot of money and the cake does not have to be big as there will be lots of other foods at the shower. Help!!!
My fiance loves donuts and wants to have a donut cake for his grooms cake. Please let me know how I could have our cake maker make this wonderful cake for us. Thanks.
That’s great! Our wedding cake is included in our reception price but Killer LOVES LOVES LOVES Krispy Kreme. I think he would marry them if they could give consent. He makes me sing a Krispy Kreme song everytime I accidently bang his big ass Camero door on another car when getting out. It would be great to surprise him with a Groom’s cake of Krispy Kreme. Any pics or instruction ideas? Thanks.
I had NO IDEA! OMG that’s so ingenious! If it wern’t for the fact that we’re getting married in Scotland and arn’t having a recpetion. Oh, wait we’ll be having a reception when we get back to the states! Maybe I DO need to know how to do this.
Hello there Genius idea bout the Krispy Creme Cake. I have a friend who is getting married and she has extremely sentimental attachment to krispy creme donuts and would like a wedding cake made out of them I would greatly appreciate you emailing me how you went about it.

That is a great idea! How did you do that?
I just found this online – awesome!!!
I want to have the groom’s cake be Krispy Kreme as well. (Of course I will be eating some too!!)
Suggestions, ideas, info. would be much appreciated.
I am going to call the KK in Phoenix to see what they say.
I am guessing if I just buy a few dozen donuts and assemble it myself it would cost less..
Thanks!

Wow! A donut cake looks so cool and original. My wedding is in June and takes on 2 themes: Western and Beach (my future husband is an avid fisherman and we will be fishing in a tournament during our honeymoon). I am looking for something unique, inexpensive, simple and will leave our guests talking about it for days to follow. Our topper is a pelican perched upon a log in the sea with a picture of us on both sides. Any suggestions will greatly be appreciated.
Thanks a bunch!

You’re cake is beautiful. My fiance and I were thinking of doing something similar. We’d want to just keep it simple with mabe some powered sugar and a few flowers for decoration. Any information you could give to help us would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much,
Jennifer

My son wants a KK birthday cake… he will be 8… he had one when he was 5, but we moved and this local KK doesn’t make birthday cakes… can you tell me how you assembled it? I’ll try to make one myself… I only rmember that they told me to layer the heavier donuts on the bottom…. do I need to use icing to help them stick together???
Want to make a Krispy Kreme cake for my son who’ll be seven in a couple of weeks. Seems like a great thing to do as he is not a cake person, so why spend the $$$ on something that he doesn’t like. (finally getting hip to this!) Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I have been interested in trying to create a Krispy Kreme Cake for my future daughter-in-law’s shower. Unfortunately, the newest Krispy Kreme store has closed down, but I believe that a supermarket nearby sells them by the box. Could you please share how you set up the stands and displayed the donuts? It would be a great treat to be able to do this for such a sweet girl. Thank you for your help in this matter!

My daughter is graduating from high school but was home schooled. Since we are sooo proud of her and this is such a special graduation, we would love to make her a krispy kreme donut cake. This is all she has been talking about for weeks now. Your site is wonderful; I was hoping you could help me. Is it possible for you to e-mail me some pics and explain how you put this together without it falling apart?
Thanks so much for artistic people!:)
Hi, please could you send me a photo of your donut cake and tell me how many donuts you used. I,m doing one for my nieces 18th birthday on saturday and would be extremely grateful for some advise. many thanks jacqui
Wow! What a great idea.
Could you please send me more pics of the cake and approximately how many donuts you used? My son turns 5 next week and LOVES donuts! This will be great. Thanks so much.
Love this idea and glad I found your site but the photo isn’t showing. Would you please email me a photo – or photos! so I can see it. I’m thinking of having doughnut centrepieces on the tables at my birthday party and therefore would like to know how they would all stay together in a pile? Does the frosting just stick to the next doughnut or is there some clever way to avoid them collapsing! Any help you can offer a novice such as myself would be much appreciated!! Thank you. Jodie
This is a GREAT idea! Could you please send pics and directions. I need to make a “cake” for someone who hates cake and this would really fit the bill. Thanks so much, I really appreciate it!
