The 142nd Minnesota State Fair

One quintessential mainstay is the Tom Thumb mini-donut stand, which has been at the fair for 51 years. The mini-donut machine was invented just after World War II by aviation engineers looking for a niche in the peacetime economy. They cobbled together parts and motors and created a machine that makes doughnuts - 36 per minute to be exact. Bob Everett, president of the Tom Thumb Mini Donut Corp., has worked at the mini-donut stand every fair except one for the last 31 years.

"Nowadays you have to have something brand new somebody hasn't thought of. Because they don't like to have multiple things in here. They have a few to take care of the crowds, mini-donuts, corn dogs, pronto pups or whatever. They spread that out a little bit. But then after that, it gets quite unique," says Everett.

Mini Donut Machine

So you want to get into the business of making donuts, eh? There are thousands of ways to break into the business of baking donuts and selling them, but one of the tried and true ways to sell donuts is by using a mini donut machine. Sure, there are many people who succeed at making full-scale donuts with regular donut machines, but how many companies and individuals do you know that use large donut machines to make money? Krispy Kreme is a company that takes advantage of their donut machines, but others can have a successful business by using a mini donut machine. There are also many benefits to using a mini donut machine and you'll even be able to share them with family and friends who may just promote your business. But here are some ideas if you want to get started in a business using a mini donut machine.

Sell Them!

Of course, if you want to sell donuts by using a mini donut machine, you will have to know where a good location exists in order to be able to sell them. Many people choose to make donuts by using their mini donut machine and sell them door to door. This method, however, doesn't seem to be any good because you'll always be selling cold or even day-old mini donuts. There are plenty of other places to set-up shop that will guarantee you that you'll make a decent income by using your mini donut machine.

The first place that you should visit is a college campus. As more college students skip breakfast to be able to attend their first early morning classes, they may not have time to visit the cafeteria to pick up something to eat. This is where you come in. First you should prepare your donuts with your mini donut machine and then set up a table on the campus so that people will be able to sample and buy your donuts. Depending on how small your mini donut machine makes your donuts, too, you may just need to think about pricing. Since college students rarely have that much money, setting aside a bunch or a package of donuts and selling them for one dollar will help you to rake in the dough. Of course, if you have the resources you may be able to use the mini donut machine right on site on the college campus, but checking to make sure you’re aloud should be done first.

Downtown Big Cities

Selling your mini donuts from your mini donut machine can also be done in large, downtown cities. Many people walking along the sidewalk will be able to see that you are setup and ready for business. If you purchase a large moveable stand then you just may be able to bake the donuts with your mini donut machine right then and there. However, if you do not have electricity available, preparing them at home first and then going downtown to sell your mini donuts can also be done.

All in all, preparing donuts with a mini donut machine can be very successful. The main purpose of selling your donuts would be to make money, right? Just imagine the possibilities that you could have by baking with your mini donut machine and then marketing your donuts on college campuses or downtown in a big city. Many people love the taste of good donuts and you'll be able to give them just that with your mini donut machine!
