Actually all you have to do is put it into a google search and you'll get hundreds of thousands of recipes. I've never heard of baking donuts though. The kind you buy at the store are cooked in oil on top of the stove.

Answer 3

Get biscuits, cut holes in them and thrown them in a deep fryer :D

But since you're baking for a charity, I doubt you want those. I saw this episode of "Good Eats" on the food network a long time ago, and Alton made different kinds of donuts. Here's the link:
