On April 25th, Japan's Cozy Corner bakery chain will be releasing an adorable assortment of nine tiny Disney cakes in a box. The Disney-inspired desserts are pretty recognizable as representations of Disney characters, but they are understated and abstractly reimagined as small rolls and squares.
Although it's a given that the set includes some of the most iconic brand characters like Mickey and Minnie Mouse, the set also features some of the more unappreciated cartoons like the Cheshire Cat, plus the mischievous Chipmunk duo, Chip and Dale.
The super cute limited edition set of Disney cakes is available for about $20, but they will only be around until May 5th, which marks Children’s Day in Japan.
