This culinary trend comes to us straight from Asia, Japan to be precise, but it’s in South Korea that it’s really taken off. This small, individual cake, easy to transport and 100% customizable, is reminiscent of the American layer cake. Generally composed of a fluffy sponge cake and covered with buttercream, it owes much of its success to social networks, thanks to its total personalization. You can write a message of love for your partner, a sweet word for a friend or even a little wink for yourself! Here are our favorite addresses in Paris.
Oh mon Cake

As for taste, the boutique offers a unique flavor: “vanilla mascarpone cream with candied raspberry heart”.
