Snacks & Sweets (31–40)
fruit sandwich
Fruit sandwiches, popular at fruit parlors and similar shops.
They’re not as sweet as cakes, so even people who don’t like very sweet desserts might enjoy them.
In this video, we’re particular about the bread and use premium shokupan.
These fruit sandwiches let you casually enjoy seasonal fruits, and the key is the beauty of the cross-section.
They’re also delicious with chocolate whipped cream.
bucket pudding
A pudding as big as one made in a bucket…
Wasn’t that one of the dream foods you wanted to eat as a child? How about featuring this bucket pudding as the star item at your school festival’s cafe club? Like a jumbo parfait, you can share it with friends or dig in all by yourself—the fun is up to you.
Yaseuma
Yase-uma, a local dish from Oita, is made by boiling flat noodles of wheat flour and coating them with roasted soybean flour (kinako) and sugar.
Sometimes roasted barley flour (hattai-ko), sweet red bean paste, or brown sugar is used instead of kinako.
It is said to be so rooted in the region that it often appears in school lunches.
Although the name is unusual, there seem to be several theories about its origin.
Imagawa-yaki
Imagawayaki is perfect for a little snack and also great for carrying around, so how about adding it to your festival stall menu? First, make the batter by mixing 1 egg, 20 g sugar, a pinch of salt, 80 ml milk, 80 g cake flour, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
Place a mold on an oiled frying pan, pour in the batter, and steam-cook for about 10 minutes, then add 60 g of sweet red bean paste.
Pour more batter on top, cook for another 5 minutes, and finish by browning both sides until golden.
Milk Carton Cake
When running a food stand, have you ever struggled with cooking utensils? Even if you buy a lot of cookware, you won’t use it much, and storing it becomes a hassle.
For those in that situation, how about a convenient milk carton cake, where you mix the ingredients right inside a milk carton and use it as the mold as well? You can cook it in a microwave, so it’s safe and doesn’t require any open flame.
Frozen cake
Many people love cake, right? So how about offering frozen cakes? The term “frozen cake” actually covers a wide variety of products on the market.
Commercial-grade options, in particular, come in many lines and are affordable, so they’re recommended.
You should be able to find most types of cake, such as Mont Blanc, cheesecake, and shortcake.
Some are even sized and shaped for eating on the go.
Khurungji
Kkurungi is a Korean dessert made with croissants.
Grease a frying pan with butter, place a croissant in it, and press it flat.
Sprinkle granulated sugar and drizzle honey over it, then cook until nicely browned.
Once it’s done, let it cool and it’s ready to serve! The soft croissant turns firm, giving you a delightfully crispy texture.
You can serve it as is, or top it with cream or fruit jam for extra flavor.
It’s easy to make, so it would be perfect for a festival booth.
