These salad cakes made out of vegetables are the latest weird food trend in Japan

If you’re the type of person that breathes out a sigh a disappointment when faced with a plate of greens, then Japan’s latest foodie craze may just be the healthy revelation for you.

Food stylist Misuki Moriyasu has designed these incredible ‘salad cakes’ in the hopes that it will make, let’s face it, the slightly depressing prospect of a salad look more appetising.

The healthy cakes are made of entirely savoury ingredients, containing whole vegetables within the filling. The sponge part of the lunch is created using natural ingredients like soybean flour.

The salad cakes are then glazed with tofu or cream cheese, before they are blended with vegetables to make them look like frosting.

So popular are her delicacies, that a new cafe in Naygowa is planning to sell her beautiful cakes when it opens next month.

The VegeDeco cafe is set to open on April 5, and it will feature a number of superfoods, including low carbohydrate ingredients and gluten-free items.
