Is it just like the real thing? !! I tried a super-realistic "tennis ball cake" [entabe.com]

Information was brought to the editorial department that "it seems that there is a tennis ball-shaped cake that is indistinguishable from the real thing." I want to put a ball next to it and compare it! I thought, I actually bought it. I was surprised at the realism that was more than I expected!

Why do you want to eat sweets after salty ones? And why do you want to eat salty food after sweet food? How pretty is this infinite loop? When I was thinking about dessert after meals today as well, the editorial department was informed that there seems to be a tennis ball-shaped cake that is indistinguishable from the real thing.

It's stupid to be indistinguishable. But how much does it look like ... I want to compare ...! I was fidgeting, but if I was curious, I would like to check it out. That's why I decided to actually check them side by side!

This is a rumor ...?

■ The tennis ball cake was in Hongo!

The rumored ultra-realistic tennis ball-shaped cake is sold at "NIKKI Cafe" in Hongo, Tokyo. Hongo is the prestigious University of Tokyo. The NIKKI Cafe is right next to the well-known Akamon. All the young people who pass each other look intelligent.

It's right next to the University of Tokyo

A roll cake called "Hongo Roll" is also a specialty

In the showcase right in front of you when you enter the store, there is a bright yellow cake mixed with tart and fruit cake that catches your eye! was! This is a super-realistic tennis ball cake!

It's pretty real ...

The cake is in a cup, and the top of the cup looks like a semicircle. Even at a glance, it is quite reproducible. This should be compared to the real thing right away! So I bought it and brought it back to the editorial department.

■ Let's line up a tennis ball cake with a real tennis ball

Take it home carefully so as not to hit it, take it out of the box and look at it up close again, oh! It's just like saying it. Even the unique felt fluffy feeling on the surface of the tennis ball has been reproduced!

This is a cake ...

Can you convey the feeling of fluffiness?

I will put it side by side with an actual tennis ball. It's a little different when placed next to each other, but it's within the permissible range! If you can see only the cake, you can believe that "Oh, it's a tennis ball ..."! The color and balance of the cake looks more beautiful than the ball. It's amazing.

The cake is on the left and the ball is on the right. If you don't tell me, I don't know at all!

■ What is the taste?

Let's actually try it. I made a mistake saying, "Put in a fork ...". It wasn't over here.

Don't stab me ~ That's funny ~

After doing the solid bokeh (quota), it's quick. This tennis ball cake has a mousse inside, so it's fairly light to put in a fork. It's a surrealistic painting.

The cross section looks like this. From top to bottom, the yellow ball surface, citron mousse, chocolate mousse, and sponge.

It is a beautiful hierarchy

When you eat a bite, the refreshing acidity of citron and the flavor of chocolate that is not too sweet spread in your mouth. The two flavors match quite well. Both mousses were fluffy and light, and I was amazed at how smooth they were. It's an interesting surface part, but it seems that citron-flavored sponge powder is sprinkled on it! I see! The mouthfeel was a little rough and gave the mousse a nice accent.

Thanks to the refreshing taste and light mousse that are not too sweet, even men who say that sweets are a little ... are likely to go crazy. Not only is it interesting, but the taste is sure to be exciting if you bring it to an authentic cake or souvenir!

Special thanks
