Jen, this is GREATNESS! love it! I’ll bet your son remembers this MUCH longer than he would have a cake. I was excited when i saw the title as I’ve been craving (and even dreaming about) donuts in this pregnancy. Have a very happy Thanksgiving! Kelly

You are my hero! A donut b-day cake….who would have thought?!? I bet my kids would go crazy over one. You inspire me (yet again!), Jen.

Awesome idea! You’re right about how we always think everything needs to be perfect. I think that the majority of the time our guests/family would rather have us happy and not stressed and have things just fun and comfortable. Instead of having us grumpy, stressed, and everything perfect.

My husband seriously dreams in Krispy Kreme, so I know he would be thrilled to have this for his brithday cake. Thanks for the idea! =)

How fun! I definitely want to be that kind of mom – fun, spontaneous, up to a challenge – when my kids are teens!

The picture got a big thumbs up from my “nearly 13″ son. What a great idea!

Oh, yes! Amen, sister! And please keep preaching–I’m listening, and I so need to hear this! I need to hear this truth proclaimed in my life. Thank you for this very timely reminder.

Jen, first of all, thank you for hosting another week of Tasty Tuesday. The donut cake is awesome, and I don’t know a kid who wouldn’t flip over it!

I had tears in my eyes when I read this. Seriously. Thanks for the permission to stop worrying about perfection. That can really ruin a holiday like Christmas, when the focus should be on JESUS (who is the entire “reason for the season”) and not “is my house clean enough?”, “did I decorate as nicely as my friends?,” “did I spend enough on gifts?”

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I love it! What a fun idea! And bonus points for pleasing the 16 year old Also a good reminder that it’s okay (and sometimes better!) to not have everything perfect. Blogland is wonderful except sometimes it leaves me feeling like I’m not exactly getting the job of mom done perfectly….
