Melbourne-based Goldeluck's Bakeshop recently launched a unique donut hybrid that will appeal to lovers of luxury. The Instagram-friendly treat is dubbed the '24K Gold Magic dossant' -- a donut, and croissant amalgamation that is topped with elegant, edible gold flakes.
This hybrid donut features a rich fudge flavor profile and is priced at $20, thanks to its made-to-order status. This artisanal dessert is just one of the many novelty sweet options popping up on social media channels in recent years.
Following in the footsteps of the popular cronut, this bakery's dossant is not fully made from a flaky pastry, but combines the solid consistency of a classic donut with a flaked center, and a gorgeous layer of gold leaf toppings.
