Here are the kits in all of their neon color glory. I really wish I could read Japanese, but I'm sure it probably says something like "Kracie Popin' Cookin' Candy Kit". Mine is on the right, Daniel's is on the left.
This is the ice cream one opened up with all of its contents. To be honest, I thought it would be the more complicated one but it turned out to be super simple. Basically, you just mix the pink package with water and the blue package with water and those turn into pink and white icings, respectively. Then you pipe it into the sugar cones and decorate it with sprinkles and wafers. They smelled great, but they tasted kinda weird. I would not recommend consuming these. Just casually sniff them. Lol.
Daniel's little sister helping me mix and decorate. You can see on top of the box that I made my cone already. Where is Daniel, you might ask? He's in the kitchen doing something else and we decided to just start without him.
My ice cream cone! It looks pretty good!
Look who decided to show up, right when we're taking bites...
Daniel's creation. The kit comes with two sugar cones and one... pie/tart thing... so we let him decorate that one. He then ate it immediately haha
The sushi kit, unboxed but yet to be unwrapped. It looks kind of intimidating. But that's because I can't read it. This is how illiterate people must feel... and I mean that in the most politically correct way possible. I can't imagine looking at words and letters and not understanding a single thing. And at least this thing has pictures!
So, I got a little carried away and forgot to take pictures. But basically, this one came with a ton of different colored packets, a dropper, a mixing spoon (green), and the white mixing pan thing. Step one is to make the "rice". One dropper full of water and the entire contents of the blue packet, and voila you have rice! It was so weird because it was so similar to the texture of real rice but it smelled and tasted like candy.
The yellow and the red were also results of mixing packets with water. The yellow is supposed to be tamagoyaki, which is like an omelette that you put on top of rice. The red is supposed to be tuna. The black on the bottom is the nori (seaweed) for the sushi.
At this point I had no clue what to do and the instructions were unclear, so I asked Daniel to find a Youtube video of someone doing the same kit so I could just copy them. This kit was much more detail-oriented than the ice cream cone one.
Rice balls artfully crafted and ingredients ready to assemble. The orange liquid on the bottom was put into the blue liquid, one drop at a time. The drops solidified in the blue liquid to make "roe" (fish eggs). It was really cool and I was too busy thinking about how cool it was so I forgot to take a picture.
Convincing, eh? No? Well, I tried. It looks cool, and it smelled great, but I ended up not eating it. It's not that it tasted bad, but the idea of making it all from just powder was a little off-putting. I think Daniel ate one or two, though. All in all, this is a really cool thing to do if you have little siblings or you're babysitting or something, because everything is edible (except the tools, of course). Just make sure to get one for you and one for them, because there really isn't much to do for two people working on one kit. It shouldn't be a problem, because they are super cheap on Amazon. And obviously, allow time for shipping.
