Japanese Twitter user and arts and crafts specialist @unamuu2014 does things a little different than previous food artists we've seen, who have gone as far as turning traditional Japanese sweets into adorable Shiba Inu butts. Rather than cook up recipes that end up being too cute to eat, @unamuu2014 focuses on what they call "fake sweets"--crafting adorable and artistic animals, but deliberately putting them into the shape of popular wagashi, or traditional Japanese sweets. Recently, @unamuu2014 has garnered some attention on Twitter for a series of sweets shaped like Japanese manju.
As you can see, the "fake sweets" manju come in the form of cats and capybara.

But perhaps their most attention-grabbing variation might be these adorably angry shoebill manju!
The shoebill's sharp eyes and grumpy expression has a lot of Japanese Twitter users confused, but many say they are strangely enamored by its mysterious cuteness.

Despite being another entry in their "fake sweets" series, unamuu2014 writes that the shoebill was baked extra crispy. As ornamental sweets, these capybara, shoebills, and kitties can have fun for a long time and not have to worry about being eaten.
