Cakes Galore

One of the many things that surprised me about Korea (more than their huge coffee culture as opposed to the green tea stereotype) were their bakeries :) Granted, I have never been to Europe, home of pastries, but I do believe the Koreans do know a thing or two about making delicious and rather good looking cakes.  I absolutely love birthdays for that reason, in the almost 2 years I have been here - every celebration has a brought with it different design. From pretty bows, to fruit toppings and lets not forget ice-cream cakes in summer and gorgeous cupcakes - well because they are gorgeous.  Almost too beautiful to eat, don't you agree?
