Want to look like the ultimate foodie at your next dish to pass event? Bring in a CALORIE FREE CAKE!
This blob-like dessert is called the Raindrop Cake, and it’s become one of the most talked-about food trends of the year since it debuted at Smorgasburg in Brooklyn, NY. It’s translucent, calorie-free, and basically tasteless. While this might be the first you’ve ever heard of it, it’s actually not new — it’s a variation of a traditional Japanese dish that people have been eating for years. But this exact Raindrop Cake is from NYC-based chef Darren Wong, who explains, “It’s a light, delicate, and refreshing raindrop made for your mouth.”

But the assembly of the ingredients is not so easy.
