Amazing Glaze

One of our favorite recipe bloggers, Adrianna Adarme
of A Cozy Kitchen, bakes us a beauty batch of
Pure Color Envy Paint-On Liquid LipColor doughnuts.

Doughnuts are always a crowd-pleaser, but they’re also the perfect canvas for color. And when we spent the day with Adrianna Adarme, the ultra-creative, color-loving blogger behind recipe site A Cozy Kitchen, we couldn’t believe all of the eye-catching, mouthwatering possibilities.

Adarme started with her go-to baked doughnut recipe, then created three different glazes, one for each finish of Pure Color Envy Paint-On Liquid LipColor—matte, metallic and vinyl. They say you are what you eat; we say, why not wear it? Scroll to the right to get the recipes for her doughnuts and each shade-matched glaze below.

Baked Vanilla Doughnuts


Makes 10

Dry:

  • 1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet:

  • 1/2 cup shaken buttermilk
  • 1 vanilla bean, scraped
  • 1 large egg
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

Step 1
To make the doughnuts: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a doughnut pan with cooking spray.

Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk dry ingredients together. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until combined. Transfer the batter to a large ziplock bag. Snip off the end and pipe the doughnut pan cavities until they’re about 3/4 of the way full. Transfer to the oven to bake for 12 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes in the pan and then invert the doughnuts onto a rack.

Vinyl Glaze (inspired by Envy Paint-On in Lava Flow)


  • 4 ounces white chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup cold water
  • 2 ½ teaspoons powdered gelatin
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • ¼ cup light corn syrup
  • ½ cup white granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 7 drops of soft gel paste food coloring in red
  • 1 drop of soft gel paste food coloring in brown

Step 1
Place white chocolate chips in a medium bowl and set aside.

Step 2
Combine cold water and gelatin mix in a small blow. Set aside and allow gelatin to bloom, about 3 minutes.

Step 3
Add 2 tablespoons water, corn syrup and sugar to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook until sugar has dissolved, about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and add in sweetened condensed milk and stir.

Step 4
Pour the sugar mixture over the white chocolate chips and allow to sit for 2 minutes. Using an immersion blender, blend the mixture until smooth. Pour through a sieve into a separate bowl. Add the food coloring and allow to sit until temperature reads 90°. Spoon the glaze over the doughnuts and let stand 5 minutes until set.

Step 2
Add food coloring and mix again.

Step 3
Dip the doughnuts into the glaze and transfer to refrigerator to chill until set, about 5 minutes.

Step 4
In a small bowl, mix luster dust and lemon extract. Brush on top of glazed doughnuts for a metallic sheen.
