If you've been following the Sweet Tooth blog for a little while, then you know that I planned to tackle making a donut for my daughter's Halloween costume. I was inspired by this Pottery Barn Kids costume, but the $60 price tag was a little more than I was willing to spend for a couple of hours trick-or-treating.
With a little trial and error to come up with the best practical design, I created this costume. As a Minneapolite, I designed the costume to go outside of her peacoat. Luckily, her little coat was the perfect shade of pink to coordinate with her ensemble.
I made her headpiece, although I opted to leave off the dollop of whipped cream shown in the inspiration photo for fear that it would just look like a giant blob on top of her head. I modified a candy bucket I found last-minute at Target. I covered the black skull design with a miniature donut replica to coordinate with her outfit.
After we made the rounds, we gave out candy to the other kids circling our neighborhood. We saw a girl dressed as Where's Waldo and two boys dressed as the Hamburger Helper glove.
So tell me, did you dress up for Halloween and what was the best costume you saw?
