Just purchased my donut maker a couple of days ago and love it. Definitely use a ziploc bag and notch one of the corners out to fill each donut holder (like a pastry bag). Do not try to measure the 2 T. they recommend. Fill each up but do not overfill (just below the edge about 1/4 or so from the top works). I sprayed the unit with cooking spray like "Pam" after each batch and used a wooden chopstick to remove the donut after cooking. The metal fork that comes with it could scratch the unit. The recipes that came with the instructions are okay. The spice one is the best. If using a box mix the donuts are too light and fluffy but they come out looking great with some icing and sprinkles. A simple recipe I use for plain donuts is: 1c. flour, 1t. baking powder, 1/2t. salt, 2 eggs, 2/3c. sugar, 1/4c. milk. Combine ingredients and beat 1 minute with electric mixer. Put in ziploc bag and you're ready to make donuts. I used the Vanilla Frosting recipe in the instruction booklet and added 1T. pureed strawberries to it yummy!! Frost when they are semi-warm not hot! Makes 24. My donuts cooked in 2 minutes so watch them closely. One side of donut is lighter than the other but if you're frosting it you won't notice. The unit cleans up nicely, when cool I just wipe with a towel.

I didn't plan to buy this, but found it on sale and thought it would be fun to try. This little gadget did not disappoint. First I tried the basic recipe in the instruction manual. The little donuts were ready in 5 minutes and tasted delicious. I topped them with some chocolate glaze (Duncan Hines Amazing Glazes work well). I googled and found some healthy recipes online.

The easiest way to make the donuts is to get a DUncan Hines cake mix and cut back on all the liquids only add 1 cup of water (rather than 1 1/3), 1/4 cup of oil (rather than 1/3) and 1 egg (instead of 3). Mix well and pour it into a sturdy ziploc bag. Cut off one corner (very small corner!). Spray the donut holes with cooking spray and squezze in enough batter to fill the bottom half. Close the lid and cook for 5-6 minutes. One Duncan Hines mix will make about 3 dozen donuts. Once you get the timing down, they come out perfect every time.

The unit heats up very quickly, and I wouldn't let small children play with it. This is NOT a toy, it is not made for kids. It is an appliance for adults to use. And it's very handy. Homemade donuts in 5 minutes. Tasty treats for all!

I got this for Christmas and it has been so much fun so far! I tried using a cupcake recipe the first time which eneded up rather unappealing. The second batch I used the Sour Cream Donut recipe from the box and it was perfect! The donuts were light and fluffy with a light brown crust on top and bottom. I actually took the whole kit to work and made them for my coworkers. It's rather hard to spoon the batter in so I put all the batter in a ziplock bag and cut off a corner and piped the batter into the donut maker. It was perfect and my coworkers loved it! If you toss them in powdered sugar or a cinnamon and sugar mixture while they are still hot they coat perfectly. I had no problems getting mine to unstick from the machine and I only sprayed once before starting and maybe every 5-6 batches. I also frosted some of them and found that if you just heat regular Betty Crocker frosting and dip the donuts in it, they glaze quite nicely. I also had fun piping the frosting on in fun patterns. All in all, a very fun little product and after taking it to work all my coworkers are wanting one as well.

Honest reviews on Review of Download Babycakes DN-6 Mini Doughnut Maker, Yellow, 6

We had an old Daisy Donut Machine when I was a little girl in the 70's. I wasn't sure this little machine had the quality to produce good results, but I was pleasantly surprised. The non-stick finish is excellent, so the donuts are easy to remove after baking. The ready light is very handy. The unit is small but makes six donuts at a time, so it doesn't take long to produce lots of yummy donuts (ours cooked in about 3 1/2 minutes per batch.) The helpful tip to put the batter in a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off worked great.

It has been a lot of fun to make cute little donuts with this item. Even my kids can do it. Obviously they are not going to have the flavor or texture of a fried donut--it is more muffin or waffle like. I am testing different recipes, but it is lots of fun.
