Notes

  • As long as the donuts are stored (without frosting) in an airtight container, they will last 2 days at room temperature. If they are frosted then place in an airtight container and refrigerate, they should keep for 6-7 days.
  • They can also be frozen, be sure to place in an airtight freezer container or bag. They will last 2-3 months. Of course any mouldy donuts should be thrown out.
