It's true that at the end of the year, when the end of the year is visible, a new beginning is exciting yet somewhat futile. 2017, which has passed so quickly, is a time when those who are a little sad and sad are in need of gentle comfort. Today, I'd like to introduce some cake restaurants that will make the end of the year cozy and sweet.
It is a cake specialty store located near Gangnam-gu Office Station and also offers baking classes. Depending on the season, stores prepare about 8 to 10 types of cakes, and “Cheongyu†is a typical example. Cheongyu, which means “small, clean, and mellow,†is a product made of soy chiffon cake topped with mugwort cream, and rice flour was used instead of wheat flour. The subtle sweetness and savory flavor that combines fragrant mugwort and soft fresh cream is exquisite.

2. “Aniseâ€, a warm bakery cafe
“Annise (Annise)†is a bakery cafe located in the Hannam Heights shopping district. In addition to the popular menu “Red Velvet Cake†and “Carrot Cake,†they also sell muffins, cookies, and brownies baked directly at the store. The red velvet cake, which exudes the scent of cocoa, combines layers of moist sheets and soft cream. The characteristic is that it doesn't have a strong sweetness, so you can enjoy it casually. The refreshing “lemon pound cake†and the chewy peanut butter cookie are also popular items.
