Got deceived by plastic cakes

Two Japanese friends and I were 100% sure that there were still layers of cakes available near the counter as we entered the cafe. I’ve been obsessed with cheese cake lately so I was really thrilled to see that only a slice was taken from it. But when the waitress took our orders, we were surprised to know that only a few slices of cake were available. I was lucky to get the last slice of cheese cake. But how did it happen? Maybe there were lots of orders? But the cafe was not fully occupied at that time.

We we were about to leave the cafe, we took a closer look at the display. Alas! Those were just the plastic cake models. I’ve featured a lot of these in my previous posts. They look so real that you couldn’t really pick the real and the plastic apart!

Here’s another batch of plastic treats:

    Just goes to show how good the japanese are in synthetics. LOL

    They just might come up with digestable plastic soon.

    But oh, how I envy you, I’ve always dreamed of going to japan, even if it were only to see plastic cakes
