The decade-old cheese tart specialty shop in Japan gets an expanded menu that sweet dreams are made of (cheese).
Cheesecake
Please, Santa, we’ve been really good all year, so bring us some adorable Ghibli-themed sweets!
Incredibly rich and dense, these cakes are perfect for Extreme Fans of cheesecake or chocolate.
It’s like Santa came early as we taste test the cake made by Starbucks and its Hiroshima partner.
A gorgeous and delicious world of sweets is waiting for even the most inexperienced home chefs.
