Dumpling-Inspired Donuts

The Dunkin' Donuts Kung Fu Panda Fat Donuts Have a Cloud-Like Texture

— May 9, 2017 — Lifestyle
The Dunkin' Donuts Kung Fu Panda Fat Donuts are a new promotional offering created as a tie-in with the film that provide a decadently fluffy texture that is purported by the brand to be cloud-like.

The donuts are oversized and puffy, which makes them look more like sizable dumplings rather than fried pastry desserts. Coming in two options, the donuts can be enjoyed in either a cream cheese-filled variety that has been dusted with powdered sugar or in a classic glazed option.

The Dunkin' Donuts Kung Fu Panda Fat Donuts are purported to offer a very soft, airy texture that is unlike the traditional recipe for donuts that focus on a dense nature. The limited-edition donuts are available at participating locations in South Korea.
Trend Themes
1. Fluffy Donuts - The trend of creating cloud-like textured donuts is emerging, offering a new way for bakeries and cafes to differentiate their products.
2. Movie Tie-in Foods - Creating food products tied to popular movie releases is becoming a trend, offering a way for brands to connect with a wider audience and increase sales.
3. Dumpling-inspired Desserts - Inspiration from Asian cuisine in pastry-making is an upcoming trend, opening up new possibilities for fusion dishes and flavors.
Industry Implications
1. Bakery - Bakeries can create new product lines featuring fluffy donuts to offer customers new taste experiences and stand out in a crowded market.
2. Film - Movie studios and distributors can leverage the power of food to attract and engage fans with tie-in products, creating a new revenue stream and increasing brand recognition.
3. Foodservice - Restaurants and cafes can experiment with dumpling-inspired desserts to cater to adventurous foodies and offer something unique on their menus.
