A Japanese bakery called Floresta debuted animal doughnuts almost five years ago, and now they're starting to catch on outside of Japan. They're absolutely adorable, with varieties made to look like dogs, cats, frogs, koalas and much more, reported Kotaku. Though there aren't many bakeries making these in America, we've got a way for you to learn to make them yourself. They'll delight any animal lover with a sweet tooth, and they make a great gift.
Watch below as YouTuber BananaJamana makes truly adorable cat doughnuts. The doughnuts she makes are "pancake doughnuts," meaning they don't taste like the fried kind you find at coffee shops. They taste more like pancakes!
Making little fondant triangles is all you have to do to make you doughnuts go from plain to purrfect (pardon the pun). Draw on the face, and voila!
If you want to go the extra mile and make animal doughnuts that taste just like coffee shop doughnuts, follow ChefSteps's recipe to making the perfect fried yeasted donuts. You can watch them make their amazing, fluffy doughnuts below.
Then, apply BananaJamana's cat doughnut-decor knowledge, and you're done. Make sure the chocolate and toppings have set completely before stacking, storing and devouring.
