Easy on the eyes, and even easier on the taste buds, we list out the best Instagram bakeries that sell the trendy Korean cakes

The Korean Wave isn’t stopping anytime soon. The world’s enthusiasm with all things related to Korean culture has brought the introduction of new experiences and restaurants including the latest Airbnb’s “Inside K-pop” digital festival; the opening of OBP, Hong Kong’s newest Korean bar opened by the team behind 11 Westside; and most recently, the influx of aesthetically pleasing, minimalistic Korean cakes on Instagram. 

While there are no set rules to what these Korean cakes should look or taste like, all of them share similar appearances—decorated with vibrant, multi-coloured buttercream frosting, using either complementary, pastel colours or deliberately clashing colour pairings for a more dramatic flair. If you’re looking for a picture-perfect cake for your next celebration, we list out the best Instagram cake shops in Hong Kong that specialise in the ever-popular Korean cakes.

Boldly promising to only make classy cakes, Fifty Cake specialises in buttercream chiffon cakes, pastries and sweets. Their newest cake offering, named “Abbey”, are monochrome pastel cakes with dramatic cream frosting piped around the edges of the cylinder shape.
