In the video, Tigga explains how you can take doughnuts (she uses traditional Krispy Kremes) and icing to make a perfect cake. 

First, she places icing on the cake board, before layering cake and butter-cream icing up into a three-tier block. 

She then fills in the middle with her chosen filling, in the video she uses lemon curd but the options are endless – think chocolate, strawberry, sprinkles, jam…anything!

Then, Tigga covers the entire ‘cake’ in more buttercream. To make the final product even more visually stunning she combines two different colours, but you can use just one. 

You could stop there for a super easy no-bake cake, but Tigga recommends adding a ganache ‘drip’ and some sprinkles. 

And that’s it! A super easy no-fuss cake for all the doughnut lovers in your life.
