A Harajuku Creation: The Kawaii Monster Cafe's Christmas Cake Is Too Cute to Eat!

Have you heard of the popular Harajuku cafe, Kawaii Monster Cafe? It’s a concept restaurant produced by the art director Sebastian Masuda (who shares Harajuku's kawaii culture with the rest of the world through his brands and projects) together with Diamond Dining Co., Ltd.

Kawaii Monster Cafe's simultaneously kawaii and toxic-looking appearance extends to the furniture, interior design, and even the menu. Since it first opened in August 2015, its unique style has got people talking all over the world, and apparently even celebrities from outside Japan have sneaked in to join the fun! In the eight months since it opened, it has welcomed over 100,000 customers, which surely earns it a place among Tokyo's most famous spots.

Fans of the Kawaii Monster Cafe's unusual style will be thrilled to hear that this year the cafe will be offering an original Christmas cake. This curiously designed and colourful cake looks just like a delicious treat that's escaped from a manga or anime world.

With eye-catching decorations like chocolate in the shape of lips and colourful cream, it's the epitome of kawaii culture. The bold way the sauce is dripping down the tiers is classic manga style, and together with the brilliantly coloured jam it creates a fresh and exciting new look. It's so incredibly photogenic that you'll want to take photos of it from every possible angle! During the Christmas period, more and more pictures of delicious-looking cakes pop up on Instagram and Twitter, but post a picture of this extraordinary treat and it's guaranteed to stand out above all the rest!
