I haven't been able to play with poser much, but I have been working on this a little so I wanted to give an update. 

1.   My speculars still don't look right.
2.  It's a little less perfectly round now.
3.  The glaze is tough to get right.
4.  My color ramp isn't working.

However I think it looks good as a cartoon donut and I didn't even have to use a cartoon shader for it.  Oh, I'm not using the poser torus either.  I made one of my own to begin with.

WARK!
