Please, Santa, we’ve been really good all year, so bring us some adorable Ghibli-themed sweets!
Cheesecake
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.
Easy Japanese recipe will fool your taste buds into thinking you’re eating a chunk of Tom and Jerry cartoon cheese.
Menu includes “unicorn” and “rainbow” flavors, the latter of which looks like nothing we’ve seen and tastes nothing like what we expected.
We try mini tarts with melting centres from Japan’s most popular cheese tart specialty bakery.
We’ll show you how to order off the menu at Starbucks to create a mind-blowingly delicious frappucino that tastes like a cheesecake-based Tiramisu.
