bakery shop in korea

Life is Just a Cup of Cake may seem like a strange name for a bakery, but it definitely suits this Seoul hotspot.
the one I used to get so I didn't get it/ This bakery is not so cheap. My hubby loves bread - he finishes most of them in the car driving home so we buy a lot but not this time. I love love Korean bakery
You see, a few weekends ago I decided to roam around Itaewon and happened upon the loveliest little cupcake shop. Itaewon, for those who don't know, is a district in Seoul, South Korea. The Itaewon district is known for its exotic flavor and boasts restaurants that serve up the best authentic cuisine from any country you could think of, including Germany, Thai, Japan, China, Italy, American, Indian and others.

Review

Location:
The cupcake shop that I found is called, "Life is Just a Cup of Cake" and is positively darling. It's nestled among the busy streets of Itaewon, but sticks out like a diamond in the ruff. Or if you want to stick with cupcake analogies, like sprinkles on a mound of frosting! With a white, shabby-chic bird cage perched out front and a window full of cuteness, it's no wonder I was lured in so easily (the fact that it has the cutest name ever helped out, too).

Decor:
Life is Just a Cup of Cake is tiny, as are most Korean stores and shops (saves space!). However, it was a bit bigger than I expected it to be which was a pleasant surprise.

When I went, two women were sitting at a very tiny table drinking tea and enjoying tasty home-baked cupcakes. To the left there was a tiny room with teapots on display and another, larger sized table, with a group of cute Korean women huddled around pleasing their taste buds.

Service
Itaewon has many great English speakers since it's such a multi-cultural district. The owner of this cupcake shop was no different! Her English was quite good and she eager to help guests find the tastiest cupcake in the shop!

Taste
The fact that you walk in and it smelled like cupcakes verifies that they are home-made. The smell will make your mouth water and the various flavors (some quite exotic) makes it difficult to choose just one. After snapping a few shots and weighing my options, I chose a charming, "Earl Grey" flavored cupcake speckled with the perfect amount of shiny silver beads (edible, of course!). I devoured it later and am happy to inform you that it tasted very tea-like and was a scrumptious afternoon treat.

So, next time you're in Seoul, South Korea stop by Itaewon and enjoy a cupcake (or two)! There's no doubt it will make your life a delicious cup of cake!
and brought up in the northeast China, which shares a lot of traditions with Korean areas. Food is one of them. So Korean bakeries sound more familiar for me than other Chinese bakeries, mostly in Taiwan
