Japan has a frustratingly delicious history of putting out a variety of snacks that just seem too cute to eat. If you can overcome that moment of doubt, however, you'll often find some high quality pastries and sweets that will help wash down that feeling of regret that devouring that too-kawaii cake gave you. That trend is continuing in a surprising way with Patisserie Swallowtail, who is releasing a lineup of sweets in series that transform your favorite zoo and aquarium animals into delicious looking treats.
They are titled "Okashi na dobutsuen" (お菓子な動物園) and "Okashi na suizokan" (お菓子な水族館), these mean Sweets Zoo and Sweets Aquarium, but are also a word play for strange zoo and strange aquarium. And they are certainly that, as these series focus on animals not usually featured, like the Capybara, Alpaca, and Slow loris as cake designs.
