Above you'll find a video of how the mizu singen mochi, otherwise known as the "Raindrop Cake," is made. According to the Huffington Post, this cake has "reached Cronut status in Japan" and is made of only mineral water and agar. These raindrop cakes were only available in Asia, but — to the webz' delight — they are coming to New York's Smorgasburg sometime this spring.

What does this brand of cake taste like, you might wonder? "Like eating a giant raindrop duh!" creator Darren Wong explains on his site: "The cake itself is very mild and very much about the delicate texture the melts in your mouth."

The funny thing about cake is that it's not usually delicate in flavor. A cake, if done right, is butter and sugar to the face. If you're looking for delicate though and can't wait until The Great Brooklyn Arrival of Raindrop Cake of 2016, might I suggest some other ways to bide your time.

Here are some other things that melt in your mouth: (1) Food with calories. (2) Truthful cakes. Cakes that don't lie about what they are.

Here are some other things you could eat that you might have access to now that will give you the raindrop cake experience: (1) A saline breast implant. (2) A tube of bubbles. (3) Bubble wrap. (4) Plastic wrap-wrapped water. (5) Water.

This is not a joke, by the way. You live in a world where cake is water. Water is cake. Drink all the cake! Eat all the water! Delete the Internet and all low-calorie food. Good-bye!
