Things may be gearing up in Brazil for the FIFA World Cup, but the same can be said for many other countries that are eager to see their teams perform well—among one of these excited countries is Japan, where [Krispy Kreme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-passport-to-italy-collection) is releasing a World Cup dessert collection of donuts.

The new limited collection of 'World [Dolce Cup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dolce-gabbana-x-donnafugata)' donuts represents Japan, France, Italy, the UK, USA and of course, this year's host country, Brazil.

Japan's donut isn't exactly anything new for Krispy Kreme, since the included Dolce Cup donut is just one of its [Matcha](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/randys-donuts-matcha-line) Old Fashioned donuts. However, some of the new additions people can expect to enjoy this summer include flavors like Mango Passion, Creme Brulee, Tiramisu, Peach Melba and Lemon Cheesecake.
