A tiger tail donut (also called tiger tail doughnut or simply tiger tail) is a
donut that is twisted with another ingredient so that it looks like the tail of a tiger. This other ingredient may vary; examples include
chocolate;[1] chocolate-flavoured
dough;[2] a combination of chocolate and
cinnamon;[3] and a combination of cinnamon,
apples, and
coconut.[4] The tiger tail is the second most popular donut at The Donut Man in
Glendora,
California, United States, surpassed only by the shop's signature donut: the strawberry donut.[1] In 2010,
Dunkin' Donuts locations in
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, sold tiger tails to celebrate the Year of the
Tiger.[5] Erin Allday of The Press Democrat called the tiger tail the "most unusual donut" at the Donut Hut in
Santa Rosa, California.[6]
