The doughnut retails for £1,500 ($1,975) which makes it the [most expensive pastry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marrow-martini) in the world. It is a black-and-white doughnut with saffron-infused butter croissant dough, Tahitian gold vanilla beans, powdered Nutella and rare and expensive Amedei Porcelana chocolate. The doughnut is topped with Cristal rosé champagne caviar and gold flakes which explains its extremely high price tag. The black and white striped layers of the pastry are why the doughnut was named after the Zebra. The doughnut was created to be showcased at London's Just Eat Food Fest. The doughnut is a one of a kind delicacy for those who can afford its price tag. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Ultra Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/ultraluxury) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Luxury Food:** Opportunity for luxury food establishments to create extravagant and high-priced dishes to cater to wealthy consumers. - **Experiential Marketing:** Opportunity for brands to create unique and extravagant products, such as luxury doughnuts, to generate buzz and create memorable experiences for customers. - **Premium Ingredients:** Opportunity for food businesses to use rare and expensive ingredients, such as Amedei Porcelana chocolate and Tahitian gold vanilla beans, to differentiate their products and target high-end markets. ### Who This Affects Most - **Gourmet Doughnut Shops:** Opportunity for gourmet doughnut shops to offer unique and luxury doughnuts to attract high-spending customers seeking exclusive experiences. - **Luxury Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for luxury food and beverage establishments to create high-priced and extravagant menu items to cater to affluent consumers looking for indulgent experiences. - **Event Planning and Catering:** Opportunity for event planning and catering companies to offer exclusive and luxurious food options, like the Luxury Zebra Cro doughnut, for high-profile events and clientele. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Viral Easter-Themed Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/donutelier.md) - [Decadent Cake-Like Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-decadent-desserts.md) - [Tasty Coronation-Themed Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-coronation-doughnuts.md) - [Nutty Viral Chocolate Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dubai-chocolate-donut.md) - [Disco-Themed New Years Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disco-ball-doughnut.md) - [Celebratory Pink-Hued Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/10-pink-raised-glazed-dozen.md) - [$1,000 Lobster Roll Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lobster-roll-kit.md) - [Rich Chocolate-Enrobed Macarons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-dipped-macarons.md) - [Parisian-Inspired Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/passport-to-paris-collection.md)
