  • A new craze has just blossomed in Japan! Thanks to cafe owner and food stylist Mitsuki Moriyasu, vegetable cakes now exist. So, what is a vegetable cake exactly? Dubbed “Vegedeco Salads,” these guilt-free snacks are perfect alternatives to traditional baked goods.”

  • In an interview with CNN, Moriyasu breaks down what goes into these beauties.

    These sinful sweets substitute cream “frosting” for that made out of tofu, a “sponge” base for one of soy powder, eggs and vegetable oil, while the rainbow hues that decorate the “icing” come from natural vegetable colorings such as red beetroot juice.

    Although there’s a lot of vegetable action going on, the treats still look and taste somewhat sweet like a real cake would. For comparison, the average slice of chocolate cake WITHOUT frosting has 340 calories. A slice of salad cake? Only 193 calories. This just makes indulging in sweets so much easier!

  • Since debuting the salad cake, Moriyasu has created 50+ different designs and doesn’t plan on slowing down.

    Eating beautiful color energize and makes you smile. That’s our wish.
