  • On a cutting board lightly dusted with flour, roll two loaves of the bread dough each to a thickness of 3/4 of an inch. Piece any large visible air bubbles in the dough. Use the art palette cookie cutter to cut out four donuts.
  • Use the 1 inch round cutter to cut out a small finger hole in each donut. Transfer the donuts to a baking sheet lightly dusted with flour, then cover with plastic wrap. Proof the donuts for about 10 minutes until slightly puffed.

  • Roll the third loaf of bread dough into a 14 x 5 inch rectangle, approximately 3/4 inch thick. Pierce any large visible air bubbles in the dough. Use a sharp knife to cut out four 6 x 2 inch rectangular donuts. Transfer these to a baking sheet  lightly dusted with flour, then cover with plastic wrap. Proof the donuts for about 10 minutes until slightly puffed.

  • While the donuts are proofing, pour the oil into a large pot until it is filled by at least 3 inches. Heat the oil to 340F. When the donut cut-outs have proofed, use a greased, flat spatula to slide two donuts at a time into the hot oil. Fry for about 30 seconds on each side or until golden brown.
  • Place the fried donuts onto a rack lined baking sheet while you finish frying up the rest of the donuts.

  • If using, fill the donuts with jam or pastry cream using a piping bag. Pour each glaze into a shallow, large dish. Dip the tops of the donuts with either vanilla or chocolate glaze. Decorate the tops of the long donuts with sprinkles while the glaze is still wet.

  • To create an edible paintbrush handle, dip a cut breadstick into green or yellow candy coating. Attach a chocolate chip at one end of the stick, then place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to dry. Dip the breadstick in the coating a second time, then allow to dry.

  • To create the middle section of a paintbrush, roll the white fondant out to a thickness of 1/16 an inch. cut out a small triangle, then trim off one point. Use a small food brush to apply some silver luster dust to the larger piece. Tuck two points under to create a cone like shape.

  • To make a paintbrush tip, dip a chocolate almond in white candy coating, then allow to dry. Dip it in the coating a second time, then let dry. When the coating is just set, drag a fork across the almond a few times to create bristle marks. Finally, dip the tip of the coated almond in orange or blue frosting.

  • To make art palette donuts, use rainbow colored frostings to pipe small Mickey icons on top of the donuts. To make a paintbrush bar donut, place a breadstick handle, silver piece of fondant, and dipped almond on top to form a paintbrush.
