Episode 9 Can You Eat This? visual cupcake
When I
first saw a sugar doll as a decoration on a fresh cream cake, I thought , “Can I eat this?†Have you
ever thought about that? I remember thinking for a long time about the adorable appearance and feeling relieved when I put it in my mouth and was relieved that it was “edible. â€
Today, “cupcakes†are the dessert I'm going
to introduce at Sweets Road, a hot spot in Shikigami! The cute yet colorful appearance made me wonder if it was a “toy.†^^; Colourful cream and garnish placed on a small
loaf of bread that is easy to eat. When you see a box full of cupcakes, no one can't help but be
amazed at how lovely it is.
Cupcakes made by putting fresh cream,
buttercream, fruit, etc. on top of a sweet and moist cake can be varied in any shape or flavor by
changing the ingredients on top. An attractive sweet potato that you can enjoy chatting with friends after a meal with coffee or as a substitute for a meal (?) It is.
No need for a fork. If you pick it up with your hand and take a big bite, stop! OK , then prepare both hands lightly
Shall we go to Dessert Road's “Cupcake†section?
1. When you need sweetness,
Jiji's cupcakes
Giggs cupcakes were first created in 2008 in Nashville, USA!
It is the largest cupcake bakery brand in the US with more than 100 stores in 25 states under the name Premium Home Baking Cupcakes. Good news that Jiji's
Cupcake chose Korea as their first overseas market entrant ~ On January 25, the first
store opened in Gangnam at the beginning of this year.
The exterior of the store stands out for its pink interior with a girly sensibility. The first thing you notice is the cute
little cupcakes on display as soon as you step into the sweet-smelling box from the outside. After thinking about what to eat for a while, I was able to easily choose the best items by placing them separately at the front.
Jiji's headquarters in Yangjae-dong makes and brings cupcakes twice a day in the morning and afternoon, so you can enjoy fresh cupcakes every day.
A total of 12
flavors of cupcakes are on sale. With the exception of bestsellers, the types of cakes change little by little every season, so you can
always eat a new cupcake!
Adorable cupcakes!
It looks sweet just by looking at it, doesn't it?
Soft bread and cream will melt in your mouth~
Each one is charming!
The best cupcake recommended by Jiji's!
Cuddly decorated cupcakes!
A beautiful interior that makes you feel like you're in a cupcake world!
The cupcake-shaped wallpaper that fills one wall is pleasing to the eye~
You can also read books about cupcakes.
Let's dive into the charm of Jiji's cupcakes!
Jiji's best-selling Red Velvet Supreme
Red velvet cupcakes are topped with white cream and decorated with heart-shaped white chocolate. These small cupcakes are cute and adorable at the same time!
The subtle scent of red velvet and the sweet scent of white cream make you feel better. The sheets are
soft and chewy, so they go perfectly with the soft cream. I can see why it's the best cupcake ^^ Just looking at the cute design makes me feel better right away.
It is
said that Jiji's cupcakes, which can be enjoyed in Korea, are made slightly less sweet than the sugar content in the US. It is said that they considered tastes that don't like sweets that are too sweet. ^^ Still, it's sweet enough for the taste of the Shikishin Dessert Road Team~
Jiji's cupcakes come in a variety of varieties and have a beautiful design! You can enjoy it as a dessert after a meal, or make a perfect
gift for a friend , lover, or acquaintance!

2. Fondant for cuteness ,
mug for rabbit
Mug for Rabbit is famous as a cafe with a nice atmosphere in Sinsa-dong.
It's a cafe where you can feel both modernity and classic charm. Overall, the
interior is decorated mainly in black and has a modern feel, and the large watches and antique accessories scattered all over the place add a classic charm.
I was impressed by the unique interior structure of the cafe .
The front of the first floor has a high ceiling that gives a sense of openness, and there is a staircase in the middle of the first floor where you can
go up to the second floor. If you take the stairs to the counter
located on the 2nd floor, you'll find a display case with all kinds of sweets on display. Once you've placed your order, you can enjoy dessert in the space
under the counter, which feels like a hideout.
It is said that the desserts made at Mug for Rabbit use only fresh cream and butter
made from 100% milk, and are characterized by a pure, non-greasy flavor. I'm even more excited ~ I'll try it!

A cute signboard for Mugs for Rabbit~!
There are plenty of outdoor and indoor seating.
Today, the Shikigami Hot Place Dessert Road team tasted their signature cupcake , the “Rabbit Cupcake. †The white cream
on top of the cupcake and the coconut powder sprinkled on top of the cupcake have an innocent feeling, just like snowflakes piled up in a simple way.
If you gently press it with a fork and put it in your mouth, the soft flavor will spread in your mouth and a natural smile will come out.
The sheets are not overly sweet, and the sweetness of coconut and cream blends well, making them look great and
taste great. It tastes like it melts like snow, and my hands go away over and over again.
It was topped with rabbit-shaped chocolate, so it was pleasing to the eye and delicious, so I was amazed the whole time I ate it .
It has a pure flavor because it uses fresh, organic ingredients. The cute shape makes
you feel better ~ I recommend it as a perfect place for a close friend or a busy lover to visit!

3. Simple but special Lee Saem cupcake
Lee Saem first started in Itaewon in 2008 and is now located
in Seorae Village. We make healthy cupcakes using organic ingredients. Under the motto “Simple but providing something special,†they are promoting the sweet taste of Lee Saem to
many people.
The value and passion that only a small cupcake shop pursues, such as participating in the Button Soup Festival, which is a festival of sharing and donation, and using only organic ingredients is amazing.
The exterior of the store is very peaceful. Enjoying dessert time with cupcakes at a quiet cafe in a laid-back
Seorae Village makes me feel like I'm in a small European town. It would be great with coffee or tea.
It is said that all of Lee Saem's cupcakes are made by hand. It's a cupcake where you can feel the warm touch and sincerity of the person making it, even in the taste.
So let's enjoy it together?
As soon as it came out, my heart fluttered with such a cute plate ~
It looks soft just by looking at it, right?
Finally tasting ~ this trembling moment..!
I really like the combination of Earl Grey sheets and white buttercream
A variety of cupcakes are available ~
Coffee, tea, and even drinks!
Comfortable and cozy interior space ~
The cupcake model caught my eye! It's really
cute!
There is also a table outside. Everything in this place is so cute
A special cake to enjoy in a simple space!
In the showcase, cupcakes with a variety of delicious designs are displayed, so it's fun to pick and eat. Today, I tried the white chocolate Earl Grey cupcake,
which is the most popular of Lee Saem's 8 types of cupcakes.
White chocolate buttercream is placed on top of the cake, which has a soft Earl Grey scent. The bread part is not sweet and has a strong chewy feel, but the luxurious scent
using Earl Grey from Twinings is excellent, and the white buttercream on top is sweet yet soft . Once you take a bite, your mouth will be filled with happy flavors!
Is it because of the warm touch and sincerity made using healthy ingredients? I want to give it to my loved ones as a gift ~ I heard that there is also a book containing the boss's cupcake
recipes. I also recommend trying to follow along at home!
