tokyo   ☀/☁   14-23C, H22-74%,
5 May,
Sunday - Sun day,
moon in Pisces,
the 26th day of the 3rd lunar month.

 
Ningyoyaki - literally translated as 'Ningyo (dolls) Yaki (bake)'...
scary naming isn't it?


 
It's a small molded sponge cake
filled with Anko (Anko - sweet red bean paste). There are a variety of 'dolls'
like Hello Kitty or Doraemon here, and fillings too!  Chocolate, Custard,
Strawberry jam... even Curry paste.
 
 Not just dolls but animals, flowers,  gods, goddesses,  you name it.

↓ Guillotine?  No, it's a Buddha cake.
Scary indeed. 
I saw many Ningyoyaki stalls near temples and shrines.
