Have you heard of Popin’ Cookin’? It’s the latest madness from Japan – DIY candy kits to make tiny food that you can actually eat! The mind boggles.
How they taste I do not really want to know, but if you are braver than me, From Japan With Love have a few ranges available including cupcakes, donuts and bento boxes. There’s also some videos on YouTube.
What do you reckon – cute or crazy?
Updated 2020: This shop is now closed – find DIY candy kits at The Best Kawaii Shops Worldwide instead.
Marceline is the co-founder and editor of Super Cute Kawaii and author of The Super Cute Book of Kawaii. She also designs cute character goods as Asking For Trouble. Having visited Japan five times, Marceline is enormously inspired by all things Japanese and especially loves bunnies, space and any kind of food object with a happy face.
