Hello, I’m Lucy. Today I’m sharing a charming treat I discovered in Shinjuku—freshly baked baby castella cakes that are soft, chewy, and packed with flavor. These adorable mini sweets are perfect if you enjoy traditional Japanese desserts with a playful twist.
Ingredients: Plain 🟡 Matcha 🍵 Chocolate 🍫 Chocolate Chip 🍪 Earl Grey ☕
Quick Prep: Each baby castella is made from a sweet, aromatic batter. They’re baked until golden brown, with a light, springy center and just the right amount of crisp on the edges. The adorable chick imprint on each cake adds an extra touch of cuteness.
The flavor is delightfully soft and sweet, with a subtle richness depending on the variety. You get to enjoy five flavors at once—making it feel like a tasting adventure in every bite. “They’re soft, sweet, and totally addictive!”
as one visitor shared.
These limited-edition treats are available at the Shinjuku Takashimaya 11F food event until April 29. If you're nearby, it's worth stopping by before they're gone. Watch the full video to see the textures, flavors, and atmosphere for yourself.
