Just go to some random donut shop off campus, buy the donuts there for $7/dozen, and set up your web site or on-campus stand.
You don't have to say they are homemade, just see if people buy your donuts for whatever you plan to charge for them. If you break even, great, if you don't sell any, at least now you know.

Sell donuts from someone else's donut shop.

I like this, but we also would want to take the pre-selling period as an opportunity to build the brand a bit.
And again, there are legal issues with food vending even if it's someone else's stuff.
