2. Are FRIED doughnuts considered a non-hazardous baked good?
3. Are FRIED doughnuts allowed to be sold as a cottage food at Illinois Farmers Markets?

Often you are exempt from having to charge state sales tax, but you may need to charge local sales tax. It also depends on where you are selling (may have to charge it at a fair, for instance). http://forrager.com/faq/#sales-tax

You need to contact your health or ag dept. The requirements are different in every area.

Selling icing sheets should be allowed in most states, but selling online is not. You probably need to produce these in a commercial kitchen and contact your health dept for the necessary licenses.
