If you think gelatin is nothing but a boring treat, then this food artist might just change your mind. Going by the Japanese name Tomei which means transparent, this pâtissier specializes in creating crystal clear desserts that are truly a visual feast.
On its own, gelatin may not be as delectable as other confections, but it’s undeniably a versatile ingredient. And while we typically see it in vibrant colors, these dreamy jelly cakes by Tomei embrace this ingredient in its truest form.
As a result, her edible masterpieces look just like elegant slabs of glass with a sweet surprise inside. From sliced strawberries and citrus chunks to edible flower bits and more, Tomei’s artisanal treats are all about preserving and showcasing the natural beauty of every ingredient.

These crystal clear desserts by Japanese artist Tomei are delectably dreamy
Among her popular creations include a “summer cumulonimbus” jelly cake which literally and figuratively looks like a slice of heaven. It primarily consists of a clear jelly block with a tint of blue, creating the illusion of a sky. Inside, there are white fluffs that are apparently made of cream cheese and whipped cream, symbolizing the clouds.

In addition to delightful desserts, Tomei also concocts refreshing drinks with an aesthetic punch. She typically uses clear soda as a base, then adds a few drops of pastel-colored syrup for a nice pop of color.
