Make quite a runny icing sugar mixture (just icing sugar and water). Wait until the doughnuts cool down and then use a pastry brush to dip in the icing and coat the doughnuts! Good luck! :) (Doughnuts are amazing, please save me one ;)) x

a lot of icing sugur plus enough water to make a runnyish paste which you pour a little on the doughnuts

Dough nuts artery cloggers.
