How to Make a DIY Donut Wall

  • Start by finding a large sheet of plywood (at least 6 feet wide). You can also use a smaller piece and cut it into a donut shape, but you’ll need to make sure your wall is very secure.
  • Use a saw to cut the plywood into a donut shape and then paint or stain it whichever color you want! The holes will be covered up later on in this step, so don’t worry about them being perfect yet!
  • Use painter’s tape to tape off the edges of your plywood so that you can paint them without getting any extra lines on your wall or other surfaces around it—this will look great when everything else is done!

Where to Buy or Rent a Donut Wall

While donut walls are a great way to add fun and whimsy to your wedding, finding the right one can be a challenge. The good news is there are plenty of options for you! Here’s what you need to know:

  • Local rental companies may have several donut wall options available for short-term rentals. Check out Party Central, who offers several different styles of donut walls (and other dessert displays) that can be rented online or over the phone.
  • You can also ask local bakeries if they offer rental options as well—or even better yet, consider hiring them directly for a custom order! For example, Gigi Gourmet Cakes specializes in custom wedding cakes and has an entire section on their website dedicated to “The Cake Bar” (their name for their dessert display). They’ll even deliver it straight from their kitchen location to wherever your event is being held.
  • Lots of Etsy shop sells handmade wooden donut walls designed specifically for weddings! Their pieces are customizable using colors, sizes and fonts so you can get exactly what you want without having any extra work done on your end once they arrive at your doorstep ready-to-display at home 🙂

Doughnut Dessert Bar

You have the flexibility to choose how you display the doughnuts; there’s no requirement to showcase them all upside down. If you prefer, you can create a visually striking dessert bar where the doughnuts are stacked high, prominently featured, and right-side up. This arrangement not only allows the enticing treats to steal the spotlight but also infuses a delightful sense of whimsy into the overall presentation.

Contrast Backdrop Doughnut Wall

A doughnut wall offers a captivating backdrop for capturing memorable cake cutting photos. To create an eye-catching contrast, we recommend pairing a white cake with a dark doughnut wall adorned with vibrant pastries. Whether you opt for a freestanding doughnut wall or one designed specifically for photography purposes, both options can beautifully enhance the visual aesthetics of your cake cutting moments.

Stacked Doughnut Wall

Weddings encompass a variety of elements, including walls and enticing doughnut platters. If you desire the illusion of a wall but lack ample height, consider arranging stacked doughnuts on boards. This clever presentation will create the illusion of a wall, even with limited vertical space, while still allowing guests to indulge in the delicious treats.
