Australia’s sexiest baker is dealing with an unexpected side effect of fame.
Anthony Randello-Jahn, better known as ‘The Donut Daddy’, says his DMs are overflowing with fetish requests, wild propositions and fans begging him to join OnlyFans.
But the Melbourne-based TikTok sensation refuses to take his content into adult territory, despite the constant pressure from followers.
‘I’ve had fans reach out to me that wanted me to do OnlyFans,’ he told Daily Mail.
‘But with the way things are going with brand deals and my content with the high quality, it’s not something I’m considering right now.’
He stressed that his decision has nothing to do with judgment.
Anthony Randello-Jahn, better known as The Donut Daddy, has lifted the lid on the wild fan behaviour lurking behind his viral fame
Speaking to Daily Mail, The Melbourne-based TikTok sensation has finally explained why he refuses to take his content into adult territory, despite the constant pressure from followers
‘Not that I think there’s anything wrong with OnlyFans. I think it’s amazing that people do it. But for me personally, I’m not considering it anytime soon.’
His inbox is filled with bizarre messages from fans, many of which are centred on the same unexpected obsession.
‘You always get the request for your socks and whatnot,’ he laughed.Â
‘It’s definitely a thing. But yeah, not my main source of income.’
The intense fan attention is a direct result of the moody, suggestive cooking videos that have turned him into one of Australia’s most recognisable social media figures.
Often shirtless and filmed under mood lighting, Randello-Jahn kneads, peels, slaps and fills dough with a level of sensuality that has pushed him into global viral status.
He admitted the vibe in his videos is very intentional.
‘Once you turn the lights off and you get the moody lighting on, and then we start the process, the mood begins,’ he said.
‘Yeah, I do like to get in the mood.’ The recipe works: slow pours, lingering close-ups, flour-dusted muscles and a cheeky sense of humour that makes his content walk the line between cooking tutorial and flirtatious performance.

His rise to fame, however, did not happen overnight.
Before he became a food porn icon, Randello-Jahn was a hardworking pastry chef running Levain Doughnuts and Jamm’d Dessert Bar, building both businesses from scratch.
He reinvested every dollar, operated with a tiny team and often worked through the night just to keep up with demand.
It was only when he leaned into his now-signature sensual aesthetic that his social media numbers exploded.
‘Life is good after winning the award,’ he explained.Â
‘However, it’s always good, but stressful. You’ve got to work hard, play hard.’
He admitted he was convinced he had no chance of winning the top gong during Wednesday night’s TikTok Awards in Sydney.
‘I didn’t prepare a speech or anything. Then I won and I was like, now I have to prepare the speech as I walk up the stairs.’
That said, he is not above playing along with the cheeky comments his followers leave on TikTok. ‘In the comment section I try to keep it going,’ he saidÂ
Despite the fame, he insisted he is trying to stay grounded.Â
‘I’m focused on the craft. Focused on the art,’ he said.Â
‘Having fans is amazing. People wanting a photo or interview is really nice. I’m very grateful.’

‘In the comment section I try to keep it going,’ he said.
‘Go with the flow and keep that tongue in cheek going.’
As for what fans can expect next year, Randello-Jahn promises things are only going to get hotter.Â
‘Plans next year? Spicy content, baby. Extra dough slapping,’ he teased.
But he is also turning his viral fame into something more traditional.  Â
‘I’ve got a cookbook coming out. The cookbook will be released in February, which will be a lot of fun as well.’
