Baked Lemon Doughnuts with a Blueberry Bourbon Glaze Recipe from The Corner Kitchen While I was on vacation in Tahoe, every morning we would get up and walk down to the West Shore Market for a cup of coffee and perhaps a little breakfast treat. One day they had these incredible chocolate blackberry doughnuts. They were so good, and felt slightly less sinful since they were baked instead of fried. Since my first bite, I have been wanting to make some doughnuts, and when my friend, Christine's birthday came up, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to try something new, And to maybe do something other than cupcakes for a birthday. While we were celebrating her birthday over the weekend, she sipped on a bourbon lemonade drink at dinner. It was delicious! I wanted to kind of re-create that since I know lemon cake is her favorite and bourbon is just delicious. I looked up a few different bourbon and lemon cocktails and found the Blueberry Bourbon Smash. I liked the added flavor of the blueberries and decided it would be the perfect inspiration for the doughnuts. I ended up making the light and fluffy lemon doughnuts and incorporating the blueberry and the bourbon into the glaze. These were so much fun to make! And pretty easy too. My friend loved them for her birthday! I can't wait to try out more doughnut combinations in the future... Watch out October because Bourbon Pumpkin doughnuts are definitely happening! :) [ INGREDIENTS ]

For an event organizer like me, picking the food is very important. Being able to prepare the proper snack is very crucial, because snacks during an event can set the mood. During a wild event, providing a cold drink may cool things down, during a boring event offering an interesting looking dessert may change the mood entirely. I am really considering using this recipe of yours in one of my events, it seems like a very tasty and eye pleasing snack.
