My mom said I was "bursting her childhood bubble" when I told her that this little green guy is Frankenstein's monster, not Frankenstein himself! Either way, he's adorable and delicious πŸ‘»

Japanese Cookie Series Design 8: Ramen!

This is the last cookie design and it's my favorite! I had a ton of fun allowing the icing noodles to fall where they may and using icing transfers for the nitamago (egg), chashu (pork), and naruto (fish cake), with a dusting of icing "scallions" on top. We had ramen 4 times during our 2-week trip and my husband's favorite was the tomato-and-cheese ramen; mine was, and always is, miso ramen πŸ₯°πŸœ

JCS Design #6: Okonomiyaki

Okonomiyaki, another Osakan food, is a Japanese cabbage pancake often filled with pickled ginger, meat, and seafood. It's grilled on a flat grill and drizzled with mayo and okonomiyaki sauce, then topped with scallions, nori, and bonito! We've made our own version a few times since being back but nothing quite beats the okonomiyaki we had in Dotonbori πŸ₯²

Takoyaki are fried balls of dough with diced octopus mixed in, and they're typically topped with sauce, scallions, and bonito flakes. In the Osakan area of Dotonbori you can find Takoyaki stands every few feet! To get the right texture for bonito flakes, I used πŸ˜‹

Japanese Cookie Series Design 2 : Gyoza!

This actually looks more like a Chinese dumplings, but we like those too! Fun fact: Gyoza originated in Japan when soldiers were stationed in China and ate Chinese dumplings (jiaozi) during World War II. They liked them so much they wanted to recreate them back home in Japan, and thus, the gyoza was born!

As many know, I recently visited Japan for two weeks in the spring. For my husband's summer birthday, I made him cookies showcasing all the Japanese foods we love and had the pleasure of enjoying on our trip! I'll be sharing photos of each, but for now please enjoy this cherry blossom - we were lucky enough to see them in full bloom in Tokyo and Kyoto!

Japanese wagashi are traditional desserts made with sweet bean paste and typically served with green tea (often matcha). They come in a variety of colors and designs and different prefectures have their own conventional types. Pictured here are a few sakura-themed wagashi I made during my visit to Kyoto in the spring!
