Don't forget to check out the entire Halloween Carnival for loads of ideas + inspiration. Wow your guests even more with a DIY Pumpkin Toss Game and Halloween Circus Cookies!
When I bite into a delicious donut my mind automatically goes to halloween costumes, fun parties, and the feeling of crisp cool fall air on my face. I LOVE donuts, as will your guests at your next Halloween celebration! Creating a donut bar is easier than you might think! Once the delicious display is set up it's maintenence free during your event, too!
Step 1: Assemble your fabulous Clear Donut Serving Stands and arrange them on a table or shelf. In this case, I displayed the donut stands on a PT Barnum vintage-inspired circus cart my husband and I made. Stack the donuts high on each stand. I sorted the donuts by flavor, but there really isn't a wrong way to do it. It's easy peasy!
Step 2: Fill Beverage Dispensers with milk and chocolate milk and set them out next to the donut stands. We all know nothing washes a donut down like a cold refreshing glass of milk!
Step 3: Hang an adorable Donut Bar Pennant Garland on the front of your display. I love the vintage chalkboard look! You can also go the extra mile by displaying a halloween balloon garland with Black & Orange Polka Dot Balloons. I show you how to create the garland in the full Halloween Carnival Party post HERE!
Step 4: Place Orange Cupcake Boxes (perfect for donuts, too) out for guests to put their donuts in.
Step 6: Put Black and White Striped Paper Straws in a jar and set out Clear Glass Milk Bottles to fill with milk + chocolate milk.
