Neopian Doughnuts

Hello!
Today I'm going to show you how I made some of the Neopian Doughnuts. I'm not going to put their description here because this was an exception recipe where I've made more than one food at a time. I mean, I used one recipe for doughnuts (very wrong decision in the choice of recipe I made) and decided to go for nine different doughnuts: lemon sprinkle, green, blue, pink, pink sprinkle, chocolate orange, purple, sugar and rainbow.
Side notes: for the pink sprinkle doughnut I used the same pink doughnut; the recipe I used was so wrong for this because it came out as a very sticky dough, which is not supposed to happen, AND this recipe is for filled doughnuts and not doughnuts with a hole, I guess that's why the doughnuts turned out really greasy and weird; and last but not least I don't know who was the genius that decided to fry doughnuts at such a high temperature. I studied a bit more after making this video for you and I came across the perfect doughnut recipe with the right temperature to fry them. Unfortunately I don't feel like making this again soon (mainly because I'm lazy when it comes to making the different glazes, sorry 😅) but if I ever do, I know what recipe to use now... maybe I should make an upgrade on my recipes...
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this!

The food will be rated from 1 to 5 stars, meaning:
⭐ - This could be part of gross foods! Ugh :(
⭐⭐ - Waste of ingredients but edible...
⭐⭐⭐ - Ok. Not my favourite thing but also not that bad
⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Now this has a lot of neopotential :D
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Wow! Was this created by fairies?! Yummy!
Now remember that this is, obviously, my opinion only ;)

Doughnuts - ⭐⭐⭐ / ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - I rated the Chocolate Orange Doughnut with three stars because I'm not fond of dark chocolate and I felt like it overpowered the doughnut a lot. The others receive a four stars rating because, despite the greasy dough, they were quite enjoyable. I must confess that the Lemon Sprinkle Doughnut was my favourite but that crappy dough didn't let it make to the five stars :P

Fruit and Vegetable Hand Roll

 Hello!
First of all I'm sorry for taking such a long break from Halloween until now. Life has been busy, that's all ^_^
I must confess that I haven't had the time I wished to cook more neopian foods and Christmas is a really busy time of the year for me. Plus, it's been almost a year since I lost my Tchipi (one of my cats) and it's all coming back to memory, which leaves me very sad and with zero disposition to whatever it may be. I also got my youngest cat neutered last Thursday and she's a pain during the healing process. You know, they're not supposed to jump nor run but she doesn't care at all!!! Thankfully she's a dream when it comes to give her medication. And on top of this, it's my sister's birthday tomorrow, my father's birthday on the 26th, my birthday on the 7th of December and I am always quite busy planning the cakes :D
Now, I know this is mostly a hot weather food (I actually recorded this during Summer) but I haven't been cooking any neopian foods lately and I just happened to have this video already edited and ready to go so, here you have the Fruit and Vegetable Hand Roll - Fruit, veggies, and rice all wrapped in seaweed. Yummy!
Nothing very fancy, just a vegetarian twist on your classic temaki roll.
I must say I was not very fond of this, most likely because of some of my choices (or maybe just because the combination of ingredients was not the happiest one). But I am an avid fan of temakis :) specially salmon ones ^_^
Please, enjoy!

Fruit and Vegetable Hand Roll - ⭐⭐ - Two stars for this food. If the blue part of the roll was chokato, maybe this would have been better but, as you may imagine, I don't have chokato so I used blueberries. Frozen blueberries! What a mistake! I know they are always so tart!!! Anyway, this was really not my favorite thing in the world so that's why it's got two stars.
