But have you ever wondered what would happen if you decided to add some precious metals to your favorite breakfast pastries?
Well, the answer is quite simple. You get the world's first golden doughnut, of course!
That's right. Thanks to trendy Filipino restaurant Manila Social Club in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, you can now get your hands on a doughnut actually covered in real gold.
I know, what a time to be alive.
It turns out Manila Social Club is no stranger to dishing out some expensive sweets and gained a lot of attention in the past for its popular purple Ube Bae Donuts, which sell for $40 a dozen.
But those purple pastries are nothing compared to the new Golden Cristal Ube Donut.
As you might expect, this gilded bad boy is a bit on the pricey side, selling for $100. But then again, you get what you pay for, and this tasty treat is covered in a sh*t ton of gold after all.
