This is a Japanese cat water cake, and we're confused AF

If you are very confused reading this, fear not, as we are just as confused as you. 

At first glance, this image looks like some sort of glass ornament, but it is actually a CAKE. 

Mind BLOWN. 

Anyway, what you are looking at is a special dessert made in Japan, called water cake. 

It’s basically  a clear and jiggly Japanese dessert that looks exactly like a huge drop of water.

The Internet has been going absolutely crazy about it, and since the photo was posted on Twitter on Sunday, it’s gone viral.

It has gotten 23,000 likes and 21,000 retweets.

We are SO intrigued by this mystical clear cake. 

SHARE if you were confused by the cake.
