# Animal Print Donuts These Lisa Frank Pastry Rings Are Decorated With A Rainbow Cheetah Pattern By M | Published 2016-09-08 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheetah-print References: [brit.co](http://www.brit.co/lisa-frank-leopard-print-donuts/) Lisa Frank's iconic rainbow cheetah print pattern is recreated in an edible format here in this recipe featured on the blog Brit + Co. The design is showcased using decorative icing overtop of [homemade donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pieinspired-doughnuts) that are equally as colorful on the inside. The pairing of [animal prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pink-cheetah-wafers) and rainbow shades is iconically associated with Frank's branding, which is the main source of inspiration for these [cake donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbiethemed-donuts). The sponge features a vanilla flavoring that is accented with rainbow sprinkles throughout. Once baked, the donuts are covered in strips of colored icing to look like a rainbow and adorned with pink and purple cheetah spots. The spots are painted on using a thin brush to give the donuts a safari look. The end result provides an edible way to enjoy Frank's beloved 90s pattern. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Rainbow Animal Print Food:** Opportunity to create more edible versions of popular animal print designs using colorful food items. - **Edible Branding:** Opportunity to create edible versions of iconic branding designs to appeal to nostalgic consumers. - **Custom Decorated Food:** Opportunity to offer customizable food products tailored to individual style preferences. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Beverage:** Innovative food and beverage companies can create new products that incorporate popular design trends. - **Design, Art and Fashion:** Brands across design, art and fashion industries can create pop-ups or collaborative products that showcase their iconic designs in an edible format. - **Event Planning and Catering:** Opportunity to offer customizable catering and event planning services for themed events that incorporate unique food designs and patterns. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Unicorn Shaped Sugar Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lisa-frank-unicorn-shape-sugar-cookie-dough.md) - [Vibrant Unicorn-Themed Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prettylittlething-x-krispy-kreme.md) - [Zebra-Striped Mini Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zebra-mini-donuts.md) - [Nostalgic Fudge-Striped Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-zebra-donuts.md) - [Pink Donut-Resembling Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pink-donut-cookies.md) - [Cartoon Bear-Themed Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/care-bear.md) - [Toaster Pastry-Inspired Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-and-poptart.md) - [Fruity Cereal Milk Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-x-fruity-pebbles-milk.md) - [Pride-Themed Rainbow Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rainbow-doughnut-for-pride.md)
