Lockdown Activity - Doughnut Time Home Kits | June 2020

After so many weeks in Lockdown in the UK it has been hard thinking of different activities that can be done at home, especially when you are so used to going to different places and experiencing a range of activities. This has been the main area that I have struggled with especially when working from home as well as long hours.

I came across a post online which was a review of Doughnut Time home kits and thought that it would be a fun activity to try.It was so easy to order one of the home kits from the Doughnut Time website, currently there are five different home kits available on their website and we went for the David Hassel-Biscoff doughnuts which features the Lotus biscuits.

The home kits range from £11.50 to £22.00 depending on which option you go for. This home kit was £22 and came with 4 doughnuts as well as all the ingredients needed to decorate them and a useful instruction card. Delivery costs £3.95 (although it’s free when you spend over £30) which I didn’t think was too bad given that it included fresh doughnuts and you get a delivery time of 1-3 days. I received our order within the three days and absolutely loved how everything was packaged and simple instructions that were really clear. We kept ours in the fridge for a few days so that we could save them till the weekend but we didn’t find any issues with doing this.    
                                                   

The instructions were really easy to follow so that you can make the same creations that can be bought in their shops. Everything that you need was included in the box from the filling to the icing as well as the biscuits for the decorations. We found that we had plenty of the ingredients to be able to create the doughnuts and could even have put more filling in them as we had some left over but that is one of the best parts when you have some icing left that needs to be finished.

Once we had finished decorating the doughnuts, of course we had to try them and they were absolutely delicious. We both really enjoyed them, the doughnuts were really light and the fillings/decorations were so tasty. I am definitely looking forward to being able to visit one of their shops in London once lockdown is over and try some of their different options.

I would definitely recommend trying out of Doughnut Time's home kits, they are really good value for all the elements that are included. We enjoyed our first home kit that we have just ordered another one to try which we are looking forward to make.

Doughnut Time are also using an Instagram hashtag (#letsgetglazed) for everyone to share their home kit decorations, check this out if you want see how enjoyable these kits are.
