Here’s a simple Father’s day breakfast or brunch idea that you can whip up easily that morning. Head out and buy a variety of dad’s favorite donuts and donut holes and then stack them up high on a tiered serving platter topped with a pennant flag for a mouthwatering and festive centerpiece! We surprised dad with these donuts and a cup of his favorite coffee for our Dad is Rad party. He was a very happy camper and we didn’t have to cook!

1

Decorate your pennant flag with the paint makers and insert the stick into the flag. Adhere it to your serving platter. I taped mine to the top with a piece of masking tape. You can also stick the pennant in a donut if needed! If you don’t have a tiered serving platter, you can stack the donuts on a cake stand, or this DIY cupcake stand would work great as well!

Use a variety of your favorite donuts and arrange them on the serving platter. I used 12 donuts to cover the bottom tier of the serving platter, and 24 donut holes to cover the top tier. You want to create a full look for the tower, so more is more!

These donuts didn’t last long! Don’t miss all the other fun details of our Dad is Rad party like the DIY dad trophy and customized travel mugs we made as a handmade Father’s Day gift.
