So. Many. Doughnuts.

We couldn't help but notice that the diameter of a doughnut and the diameter of a pint of ice cream are the same. Coincidence? We thought not. So we sliced some pints with a serrated knife and shimmied slabs into split doughnuts to find out. Just in case those were not cute enough by themselves, we also punched out the centers and made teeny ones with doughnut holes.
