Looks fine so far, but as None mentioned, some more bobbing, perhaps even
not fully centered, would be great. As for the oil: you'd need some waves
spreading from them, along with some boiling bubbles... I know, it's pretty
shameless to advertise your own include-files, but I've got two which would
do the job: my Particle System (called PartixGen) and my Liquid Surface
Simulation Macros, or short LSSM. IF you decide on giving a more irregular
bobbing to the donuts, the LSSM won't care, they just require the movement
of the objects and the objects in a proper setup (but that's pretty easy).
My Particle-System might be a little overkill, so I'd suggest doing your
own.

Greets,
Tim
