# Stuffed Cinnamon Donuts Chef Thiago Silva Combined Two Popular Flakey Pastries into a Hybrid Treat By M | Published 2015-09-16 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-donut References: [foodiggity](http://www.foodiggity.com/heres-a-cinnamon-roll-in-a-donut/) & [instagram](https://instagram.com/chef_thiago/) New York-based Chef Thiago Silva has created the ultimate cinnamon donut that literally places a whole cinnamon roll directly inside a [flakey donut](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spaghetti-garlic-bread-donut). This dessert hybrid cleverly brings together two popular treats without compromising the aesthetic or taste of either. Usually a cinnamon donut might call to mind a donut that is infused with the popular autumnal spice, however this dessert actually incorporates a full [cinnamon bun](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnarolls) into a donut by stuffing the pastry directly inside the donut. The pastry captures the best of both worlds with a cinnamon glazed bun coiled inside and a flaky donut on the outside.The cinnamon donut is still in its trial stages, but it could very well be the next Cronut with its hybrid flavor design. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Hybrid Desserts:** The combination of two popular treats, like the cinnamon donut, opens up opportunities for creating innovative and unique flavor experiences. - **Cross-industry Collaborations:** The creation of the cinnamon donut demonstrates the potential for collaboration between the bakery and pastry industries to create exciting and enticing new products. - **Revamped Classic Pastries:** Incorporating a cinnamon roll into a donut showcases the potential for reinventing traditional pastries and offering a fresh take on beloved classics. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Bakery:** The bakery industry can explore new avenues by developing and marketing innovative hybrid desserts like the cinnamon donut. - **Pastry:** The pastry industry can benefit from cross-industry collaborations, as seen in the creation of the cinnamon donut, to expand their product offerings and attract new customers. - **Food Innovation:** The development of the cinnamon donut exemplifies the potential for disruptive innovation in the food industry by combining different pastries to create a completely new and unique dessert. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cinnamon Roll Cupcakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-roll-cupcakes.md) - [Influencer-Approved Cinnamon Rolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-king-of-dallas-roll.md) - [Fried Dessert-Flavored Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doughlicious-dough-chi.md) - [Churro-Inspired Donut Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/churrdough-collection.md) - [Sweet Cereal-Flavored Doughnuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-cinnamon-milk-glazed.md) - [Cookie Dough Croissants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-springs-cookie-dough-croissant.md) - [Cinnabon-Shaped Croissant Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crookie-2.md) - [Hybrid Mashup Snack Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honeybun-donettes.md) - [Spicy Glazed Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-dough-foods.md)
