vanilla donut glaze but this is not a youtube glaze. The glazes and icings have been formulated to
form a shell as to suggest a protective layer to preserve the shelf life of the donut. The shell
resembles much like an acrylic protective clear coating that sets up like nail Polish but is soft and
plyable with a translucent sheen that compliments the overall product . The glazes and icings will
hold up to transport and high heat and high humidity which is ideal for doing it wholesale and or

Formulas into in-house custom premixes that will protect your recipes and increase efficiency.
We will be utilizing an auto-sifter to blend the Master Donut Recipes into in-house custom donut
premixes in batches of 50 lbs. prepared once a week.

achieve.
