Baking Soda or Powder? Makes a difference...

So… These donuts looks great right?  They tasted OK too… but there was something off.  What could it have been?  Well for starters I made them at 6:30 AM… let’s be honest, can I really be held responsible for any possible errors that early in the morning?  Especially with my girl waking me at 5?  Anyway…
Made these donuts – I had been reading recipes and for some reason thought I needed baking powder, not soda.  I remember getting the baking powder out… did I add any?  Pretty sure not. :)  These donuts came out strangely the same shape as when I piped them in.  Imagine how awesome they’ll be next time with the correct ingredients?   Lesson learned?  Baking before 7 AM – probably not my finest moment.
