Place your fresh donuts on a clean workspace or a large parchment-lined baking sheet. If you are using store-bought donuts, ensure they are at room temperature so they are pliable. Use a small knife to slightly widen the center hole of the donut if it looks too tight; this ensures the fangs fit snugly without tearing the dough.

Take a pair of plastic vampire fangs and fold them into a slightly closed position. Gently press the fangs into the center hole of each donut. Slowly release the fangs so they spring open and grip the edges of the donut hole. This creates the “mouth” of your vampire.

Dab two small dots of frosting onto the back of two edible googly eyes. Place the eyes on the top half of the donut, just above the fangs. Press down gently to ensure they stick. You can place them close together for a focused look or slightly crooked for a “crazy” monster aesthetic.

Take your red decorator gel and carefully pipe “blood” dripping from the tips of the fangs. You can also add small droplets around the mouth or “tears” coming from the eyes for a more dramatic effect. Let the gel set for a few minutes before serving.
