Create multiple Pie Highcharts for multiple series

Question

I am trying to draw a highchart using JSON data. My data has multiple series. Because of that 2 pie charts are created overlapping each other. Is there a way for me to draw the multiple highcharts next to each other instead?

My JSON, code and working example of the pie charts overlapping each other:

let data = [{
    "name": "cakes",
    "data": [
        [
            "us",
            149045
        ],
        [
            "es",
            41746
        ],
        [
            "uk",
            37640
        ],
        [
            "au",
            16594
        ]
    ],
    "marker": {
        "symbol": "circle"
    }
}, {
    "name": "pie",
    "data": [
        [
            "us",
            128845
        ],
        [
            "es",
            35752
        ],
        [
            "uk",
            32246
        ],
        [
            "au",
            14333
        ]
    ],
    "marker": {
        "symbol": "circle"
    }
}]

Highcharts.chart('container', {
        chart: {
            type: 'pie',
            zoomType: 'xy'
        },
        plotOptions: {
            pie: {
                allowPointSelect: true,
                cursor: 'pointer',
                dataLabels: {
                    enabled: true,
                    // format: '{series.data[0]} <b>{point.percentage:.1f}%</b>'
                }
            },
        },
        series: data
    });

<div id="container"></div>

How do I get pie charts next to each other rather than one on top of the other? One for cakes and one for pies?

You can create multiple charts with dynamically calculated styles:

data.forEach(function(dataEl) {
    const createdDiv = document.createElement('div');
    createdDiv.style.display = 'inline-block';
    createdDiv.style.width = 100 / data.length + '%'

    mainContainer.appendChild(createdDiv);

    Highcharts.chart(createdDiv, {
        ...,
        series: [dataEl]
    });
});

Or one chart with dynamically calculated center property for each series.
