Bistro Morgan creates Mint-to-be doughnut for luxury Brighton development The International

How else would you sell a luxury apartment? The developers behind a swanky Brighton block have enlisted doughnut wonder kid Morgan Hipworth to create a custom treat designed to entice buyers — and the inspiration comes from an unlikely source.

Bistro Morgan’s bespoke Mint-to-be doughnut will be exclusively available at The International.

A cult doughnut shop has teamed up with a swanky apartment development to create a bespoke flavour to entice prospective buyers through the doors.

Known for his mouth-watering, handmade artisan doughnuts, 18-year-old Morgan Hipworth has come up with a custom creation inspired by the prominent lush landscaping at the former home to high-end wedding venue the Brighton International.

The ‘Mint-to-be’ doughnut will be on sale at a pop-up shop at The International luxury apartment complex site over four days this month.

The Bistro Morgan pop-up will be Hipworth’s first in the Bayside area, following the success of his Chadstone pop-up and flagship Windsor store.

The Mint-to-be — a bright green doughnut, dripping in glossy white chocolate icing, sprinkled with an Aero crumble and topped off with a Nutella-filled syringe — will be exclusively available at The International on October 11-12 and 18-19.

Free coffee will also be on offer across all days of the pop-up stall.
