Are you ready for this jelly? Japanese desserts are world-famous for the painstaking detail and effort that their creators go to, to make them look as aesthetically appealing as possible. However this example, called ‘Fly Me To The Moon,’ really takes the cake!
Made by renowned sweet-maker Nagotoya, the jelly dessert, made is in the shape of a block, has a different scene embedded in the jelly with every slice taken, creating the image of a bird flying toward the moon in a ‘flip-book’ style.
Looks too good to eat right? Not so. With cranberry, Japanese walnut and raisins sitting atop the jelly, you can be sure that this dessert tastes as good as it looks.
Priced at around $30USD it is not really an everyday dessert, to be served as a follow up to some pie and mash.

There is so much detail in everything Japanese people do; always striving for creating something aesthetically pleasing ^_^
When I traveled to Japan, I walked into a bakery and passed all of the actual food--all of it was so pristine and perfectly made made that I thought they were models. It was a funny conversation-by-gestures.

I started drooling so badly... I'm trying to eat as little sweets as possible and damn, it doesn't work! I bet I'm totally addicted. I highly doubt I'd be able to eat something so beautiful if presented with a slice.
I’m so gonna eat this. The title is creative too! Man Japan is so ahead of ‘merica
It is not with every bite, it is with every slice cut, easy to figure how it is made but it wout take lots of patients!

Sometimes my fiancée makes me do things I’m really not comfortable with. Honestly, really degrading stuff. Why do I stick around? I’m too scared to leave. Anyway, great dessert.
That's what is known as a left-handed compliment. Most creative "nation", "people", "culture", yes. "Race"? No. The Japanese are not a separate race.

It looks more like fancy hand soap. I guess it's mainly due to the colors chosen. Nevertheless, I'd still like to try it to see if it's actually good. I'm sure that there have to be other more beautiful designs out there, too.
