It’s crazy to think that when we blink: Halloween will be upon us. You think I’m exaggerating, but I think you know I’m right here. Remember when it was the 4th of July- like, yesterday? Ha! As August rolls into September, it’s time to start thinking about all things Halloween. And on my list: these delicious and adorable Mickey pumpkin cake donuts!?

 

 

Mickey Pumpkin Cake Donuts

We are crazy for anything Mickey shaped or Halloween around here.

When you combine the two, you know we are all in- which is why we love planning our Disneyland Halloween trips.

 

 

 

Since we don’t have one of those trips on the books this year (boo- and not in the fun Boo To You way) I’ll have to settle by making Halloween as fun as possible here in Virginia.

Challenge accepted!

One way we’ll do that is with these awesome Mickey Pumpkin?Cake Donuts.

 

 

What do we love about them? They are pretty easy to make- and you know I’m all about easy around here.

And of course: adorbs. I mean- anything Mickey shaped is just too fun!

Also: delicious. My kids are asking for these already.

I mean, there’s absolutely no downside to adding these Mickey pumpkin cake donuts to your Halloween party ideas.
