Popin’ Cookin’

Popin’ Cookin’ is a unique Japanese Candy creating experience. Today I purchased my first Popin’ Cookin’ kit at the Yorkmarto when I went to get Japanese groceries.

Popin’ Cookin’ is an edible candy kit. The kit I selected was a relatively simple one where I would create miniature ice cream cones, a wafer dessert, and a cupcake.

It is a rainy Monday and I thought putting together a candy creation would bring a little happiness to the dreary day.

Notice the directions are in Japanese. Google translate was of little help. I relied mostly on the pictures to make my candy art.

Here is what comes with the kit.

Two mini sugar cones, two sugar wafers, and a sugar dish. Two types of icing, plain and strawberry. A mixing stick and icing bag. And sprinkles for the topping. Time to get to work. First I cut out the dishes from the bag and wrapped the cones and set the cupcake holder on it.

Then, I chopped the sugar wafers into the suggested pieces using the included shovel. I feel like that was a messy attempt.

It was now time to mix the water with the icing packs.

And then place the icing into the icing bag. I did my best to keep the two icing colors separated. By the time I squeezed them out, it didn’t quite have the swirl look.
