The thing that makes donuts difficult at home, but cheap at a store is economy of scale and it's effect on temperature control.
The difference between OK and awesome donuts can be as little as a 10 degree difference in oil temperature, and dumping a whole batch of cake donuts into a cooking operating you can fit in a home kitchen will drop that 10 degrees and much more in a hurry.
I'm not saying don't try it at home, but I'm saying the reason they taste so much better from a store is a lake of temperature stable oil to fry them in. Ain't gonna happen on a stove top with a pot of Wesson.
