DIY Life Preserver Donuts – Perfect for Beach Parties or Shark Week

Make a fun Shark Week Snack with these easy-to-make and yummy DIY Life Preserver Donuts!

Summer is in full swing. That means it’s the time for beached themed parties and the always-loved Shark Week on Discovery Channel!

Whether you’re having a party at the beach, or just creating a beach atmosphere in your backyard, these DIY Life Preserver Donuts will add to the celebration.

And even if your family is just enjoying Shark Week in the comfort of your own living room, they will make a fun evening snack!

We created our life ring donuts as a small-sized treat using powdered mini donuts, but you can also make full size life preserver donuts.

If you decide to use the larger doughnuts, you’ll want to switch out the red decorating gel for a red icing pouch. Just use a flat decorator tip and you’ll be good to go!
