WAGASHI -Japanese confectionary-

Recently accessories of sweets are very popular in Japan. But most of them are western confectionary like cakes, macaroons, pies etc...
I like them but I also like Japanese confectionaries very much. So I made some plushes of Japanese confectionaries.


These confectionaries are not only delicious, but also very cute.
Among them, I like the cherry cake very much. It's with a salty cherry leaf and it has a very good smell of cherry.


Then, I made some Kompeito. It's sugar candy and originally from Portugal.
I like the shapes very much, but it's difficult to make.
I tried some ideas and made up them.



It's my pleasure to make my favorite foods.
I want to make some vegetables, next time.

Hello! I am happy to have found your blog. Your fabric sweets look lovely. The kompeito must have been difficult to get that shape but it looks just right to me--only once I've eaten kompeito but I have seen pictures of it.

hey,
i love kompeito and have been trying to find where i can buy it in england but that also seems like they are sold no where! I used to eat kompeito when we had some japanese girls in our class at school, they also used to have a kind of jelly in a tiny pot..... i loved them aswell!

well done these look fantastic, they would look brilliant in a jar full of them.

Hello Surya,
Which recipe you want? I love these confectionaries, but its difficult to cook them... I've tried only the sakura mochi.

Actually I'm not familiar with Japanese food. Anything less comlicated will do.
