Twin Peaks Doughnuts



Hello and howdy. So well over a year ago now I had just finished watching the second series of the cult TV classic, Twin Peaks. It had been recommended to me for months and I finally decided to watch it. And I'm so glad I did. Having never experienced David Lynch's work before, my mind was blown, I didn't even know TV like this existed! So yes, needless to say that Twin Peaks was right up my zany 'What the f-?' street!

Now because I am a baker, but more ultimately, a pig; I particularly enjoyed it when the police in Twin Peaks had a table full of doughnuts awaiting them in the station of a morning. I salivated when the camera slowly panned over those glistening sweet treats, and I came to call these shots 'Sexy Doughnut Shots'.
So, I came to thinking - "What would a Twin Peaks character's personal doughnut be"? There are so many unique and awesome characters in this series, I thought it was perfect for some amazing doughnut ideas! And so ensued many months of researching doughnut-making techniques as well as different flavour combinations until I eventually came up with this:

Book jacket design accompanied by real doughnuts

The Twin Peaks Doughnuts book!
Featuring 42 characters and (what I think) would be their 'Spirit Doughnut'.

Introductory page (with more doughnuts)

Double page spread

As well as designing and illustrating each character's doughnut, I also designed the book - which was a somewhat new venture for me. I find layout and book design a bit of a challenge but I found this experience fun as I got to experiment a lot and ultimately I had the freedom to do what I really wanted to do with the design.

The BOB doughnut

The Bobby Briggs doughnut

My original intention with this Twin Peaks doughnut idea was to create a full recipe book so people could properly make these doughnuts. But I fast realised that I am not a professional baker and an endeavour like this would take years! So instead I thought I would summarise my doughnut ideas into a book and invite others to try their hand at making them! And thats what I'm asking now! If you fancy yourself a baker and would like to give these doughnuts a go then give it a try! I would love to your photos of what you cook up, or if you have ideas for any variations or improvements to the original idea! You can send me your photos through Twitter or drop me an email! I'd genuinely love to see them and I'll post them up here for others to see!
My book is currently for sale in my shop if you would like to take a look - just in time for the new series of Twin Peaks coming out at the ...end of May, I believe? So best start baking, everybody! Lets have a Twin Peaks doughnut party!

I would like to try and film my own attempts at making these doughnuts, or at least posting up a recipe - as I have made several attempts of some of these doughnuts - Bobby Briggs being my most successful, the rest a bit hit and miss - but still fun to try never the less! (There is a blog post show a few of these attempts, which you can find here.)

Just in case you're interested, here is a couple of initial sketches/illustrations I worked up for this project:

Some doughnut sketches

Outlines of doughnuts

And lastly, I also made badges and a poster as well! I'd like to make some stickers or temporary tattoos of these in the future (if I felt there was enough demand maybe).

Pack of doughnut badges, anyone?

Doughnut poster - featuring all the doughnuts and flavours

The badges are also available to buy in my shop, they're available in 2 types of pack or individually.

I got both badges and the Twin Peaks book printed at the truly awesome Awesome Merchandise. They have a spectacular choice of formats to print on and offer a great price! Go get your stuff printed there!

Now lets start baking! I want Twin Peaks doughnut parties happening all over the shop!
