These flower jelly cakes from 'La Floraison' in Sydney Australia are taking over Instagram.
Similar to a Japanese 'Raindrop Cake,' these jiggly confections are almost too pretty to eat. Made using a similar technique to a Raindrop Cake, according to La Floraison, these flower jelly cakes are ready in nine minutes. The flower inside the cake comes from a sakura jelly inside the agar and mineral water based jelly. Available in a variety of different colors, those who have tried these flower jelly cakes say it has a slight coconut flavor.
It shouldn't take long for these Instagram-ready desserts to make their way to cafes all over the world, but these flower jelly cakes are currently only available at La Floraison.
