Cutters for Donuts and Pastries
Cutters help create uniform shapes and consistent portions. Round cutters can be used for donuts, filled pastries, cookies, biscuits, and decorative dough pieces.
Keeping several sizes available allows businesses to produce standard donuts, mini donuts, filled donuts, and specialty products. Consistent sizing can also help with baking time, frying time, portion control, packaging, and pricing.
Piping Bags and Tips
Piping bags and decorating tips are useful for filling and finishing donuts. They can be used for creams, custards, chocolate fillings, fruit fillings, icing, frosting, and decorative toppings.
A practical piping inventory may include:

• Disposable piping bags
• Round piping tips
• Star piping tips

NY Cake® reusable piping bags are designed for professional use and selected products are heat resistant. Review each product’s specifications and care instructions before use.
Chocolate and Coatings
Chocolate-covered and drizzled donuts are popular options for donut shops, cafés, bakeries, and dessert bars. Chocolate can be used for dipping, coating, drizzling, decorating, and creating seasonal designs.
Chocolate products can also be used for:
• Donut toppings
• Filled pastries
• Cookies and brownies
• Chocolate decorations
• Dipped treats

• Dessert displays
Store chocolate in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, heat, moisture, and strong odors. Follow the manufacturer’s handling instructions for the specific product.
Food Coloring for Icings and Glazes

Always use a food color that is suitable for the intended application and follow the product label.
Bulk Sprinkles and Toppings

Create Seasonal Donut Collections
Seasonal products can attract new customers and encourage regular customers to return. Donut shops can create limited-time flavors, colors, and decoration combinations for major holidays and local events.
Important promotional periods include:
• Valentine’s Day
• Easter and spring
• Mother’s Day and Father’s Day
• Graduation season
• Summer celebrations
• Halloween
• Thanksgiving
• Christmas and winter holidays
• School and sporting events
Order seasonal colors, sprinkles, cutters, decorations, and packaging before demand begins.
Donut Boxes and Bakery Packaging
Professional packaging protects donuts during pickup, delivery, catering, and transportation. The right box size helps prevent products from sliding, stacking incorrectly, or damaging their toppings.
Packaging options may include:
• Bakery boxes
• Window boxes
• Donut and pastry boxes
• Cookie boxes
• Clear containers
• Food-safe bags
• Tissue paper
• Labels and presentation accessories
Choose packaging based on the number, size, height, and decoration of the donuts being packed. Window boxes can help display colorful products while keeping them protected.
Packaging for Pickup and Delivery
Delivery and pickup orders should be packed securely on a flat surface. Allow enough room to protect icing, sprinkles, drizzles, and decorative toppings without using a box that is unnecessarily large.
For better transportation:
• Select the correct box size
• Keep products in a single layer when necessary
• Prevent donuts from sliding
• Close every package securely
• Label special flavors and allergens when applicable
• Include storage instructions when needed
• Keep temperature-sensitive products properly handled
Always follow applicable food-safety requirements for your products and location.
Managing Weekly Supply Inventory
Donut shops often reorder the same products every week. Tracking usage can help prevent shortages and unnecessary overstock.
Set minimum reorder levels for:
• Boxes and packaging
• Piping bags and tips
• Chocolate and coatings
• Food coloring
• Sprinkles and sugars
• Seasonal decorations
• Cutters and preparation tools
Review inventory before weekends, holidays, catering orders, promotions, and community events.
