The adorable animal donuts pioneered by Floresta, a donut shop located throughout Kansai, Japan, could easily be the next biggest thing in the dessert department. Although cronuts are still enjoying their 15 minutes of fame, people will start looking for something even more creative. The animal donuts may focus more on looks, but for some that's all it takes.
The perfect complement to the incredible latte foam art also reigning supreme in Japan, the animal donuts will make little girls squeal, perhaps prolonging their inevitable end. From cute cats to green frogs and everything else in between, the animal donuts are works of art. At least, when it comes to anime characters.
