Thanks to the hybrid-food fad, there's no shortage of unique Frankenfood creations out there.
If you're starting to get sick of those passé cronuts and egg waffle tacos, you'll be glad to know there's another innovative snack taking New York City by storm.
Behold, Raindrop Cake.

This clear confection is made out of mineral water and a vegan gelatin called agar and aside from looking pretty damn cool, it reportedly contains almost no calories.
