rispy Kreme’s Doughnut Decorating sessions are a fun, budget‑friendly way to break up the WA school holidays, especially when you need something quick, sweet and air‑conditioned.
Booking is done online via the Krispy Kreme website. You simply choose your preferred WA store, date and time, then follow the link through to the ticketing page where available sessions are listed for Cannington, Myaree and Whitford City. Sessions usually run on selected days in the school holidays, most often in late morning or early afternoon time slots, and they do sell out, so it’s worth securing your spot ahead of time via the official Doughnut Decorating page.
On the day, families are checked in by friendly staff and taken to a dedicated decorating area or party room just off the main store. Each participant receives a box with two Original Glazed doughnuts ready to be transformed. Tables are set up with an impressive range of toppings and colourful icings so kids can get straight into decorating as soon as everyone is seated.
The icing comes in a variety of colours, and little decorators can drizzle, dip or spread to their heart’s content. Then comes the best bit – loading up the doughnuts with toppings. Think classic sprinkles, pearly sugar balls, chocolate buttons, crispy chocolate pieces and other fun, crunchy bits. Children are given a Krispy Kreme paper hat to wear, which adds to the experience and makes for some very cute holiday snaps while they concentrate on their creations.
Sessions are designed as a short, focused activity – around 20 minutes is plenty of time for most kids to decorate their two doughnuts without losing interest. It’s ideal if you’re already at the shops and want an easy “one more thing” to break up errands, or if you’re looking for a low‑stress holiday treat before or after a movie or play at the shopping centre. The cost is currently $9.50 per person participating (at time of writing) and includes the 20‑minute session plus two Original Glazed doughnuts to decorate and take home (or eat on the spot).
While Krispy Kreme suggests the sessions are best for children from about four years and up, younger preschoolers can still join in with close supervision. Squeezing icing, carefully shaking on sprinkles and deciding on colour combinations are all great fine motor and creative activities for kids, and because the session is contained and guided, it feels manageable for parents too. Once everyone is finished, staff help box up the decorated doughnuts so you can carry them home safely.
Although Krispy Kreme does run special themed decorating days for events like Christmas, Valentine’s Day and Galentine’s Day, the real drawcard for Perth families is that these sessions keep returning every school holiday. They’re an easy boredom‑buster on hot days, a cosy option when it’s rainy, and a nice little reward to build into your holiday plans without blowing the budget.
If you’re in Perth and looking for a sweet school holiday outing, keep an eye on the Krispy Kreme website as each holiday period approaches to see the latest WA dates and times, and to book a decorating spot at Cannington, Myaree or Whitford City.
