refined doughnut shapes

I started with some doughnut drawings on paper, and turned them into vector shapes with Adobe Capture. 
Then I opened them in Illustrator to clean-up and refine the line work.
From there, I added some candy-like colors to evoke the frosted pastries we know and love to hate.
