Sil and I decided to start this here blog because I had developed a habit of searching out and trying these newfangled Japanese DIY candies and other random whatnot which is probably destroying my teeth as we speak.
To start, I came across these two sets a few months back, the Popin' Cookin' Sushi and Soft Cream sets.
We decided to start with the Soft Cream set first because it was smaller, and thank goodness it wasn't too hard to figure out what to do seeming the entirety of the thing was in Japanese. But basically with this kit you'll be able to make 2 soft serve ice creams, a tart of some sort and a cake of some sort, with the wafers inside. The set cost about RM12 and I got it at a Japanese fair that was happening in Empire Subang at the time.
When opened...box in a box! With instructions! 
This is pretty much what it looks like with the wrapper removed. Inside were 2 ice cream cones, two different sizes of wafers, a bag of sprinkles, a small green spatula-spoon thing, a clear plastic piping bag and lastly two sachets of powder, one for vanilla 'cream' and another for strawberry 'cream' 
The box itself serves as a place for you to stand up your ice creams and to mix your 'cream' up as per instructions. One corner of the box can be snapped off to use as a measuring cup for the water you need for this whole endeavor. 
Now sorry for the semi-crappy image quality, we decided to hang out in Coffee Bean to do this because well, freeflow water? And also, waaaaafers. 
So first you chop off the little triangle shaped water measure thing and fill it to the indicator. Then you pour out the powder into the compartments like below. Both will be pure white till it gets a hit of water. 
Then you stir like the wind! The stuff will turn into a creamy, extremely sweet smelling 'cream' of somekind that makes you wonder if Japan could survive on just miracle powder and water alone. 
Then when you're done, you need to take that little green spatula and stuff the cream into the piping bag given. We say this is the toughest part if you don't want both creams to mix and turn into an ugly mush. 
Its also the part that took us the longest. But between both Sil and I we managed to get both creams in without causing a sugary holocaust on the table. 
Tadaa! By this point I was already cursing my ass off, and Sil was laughing at me most of the time. But the real fun was yet to come! Stick around for Pt 2! When the end results of the madness await!
