[Korea] Paris Baguette - Strawberry Surprise Cake

Image
By

I was gifted a Paris Baguette Strawberry Surprise Cake during strawberry season in Korea (winter).


I was kind of surprised it was from Paris Baguette because it looked pretty nice. If it hadn't been in a PB cake box and didn't have that PB placard on on the top, I would have probably guessed that it was from another cafe. Since I was gifted this, I don't know how much it cost, but I think the seasonal cakes at PB are usually around 25,000KRW.

The inside of the cake has two layers of yellow cake. The "surprise" is that the center of the cake is filled with strawberry jam and the whipped cream frosting that is on the outside of the cake. That was a pretty big surprise when we cut into it, that's for sure.

Like with most Korean cakes, the frosting is a smooth, creamy frosting. It's not as sweet and grainy as American frostings. It's maybe kind of a smoothness and creamy level of the cream from an Asian choux cream (cream puff). I, personally, prefer it, but I am not a sweets person.

I would say that I probably wouldn't buy this cake again to eat it, but it does look nice to give as a gift. It is only available during strawberry season, so who knows if it'll be around next year.

[Skincare Review] Head-to-Head Test: Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair vs. La Mer The Concentrate

By
 As promised, here is my blog comparing the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair vs. the La Mer The Concentrate. FTC disclaimer: I was sent both of these items for free in exchange for my full and honest review. I tried to be as scientific as humanly possible. I had a blinded reviewer (my mom) who was actually unaware I was even doing a skincare test, so her opinion is completely blinded and she tried really hard to give a full and honest review of differences she noticed. I did this for 2 weeks. In the 14 days before the test, I was testing out the Estee Lauder ANP product in exchange for my review. I had enough product left (and actually received a second sample to test). My nighttime skincare routine was the same as usual. 1) DHC Cleansing Oil - Buy from YesStyle | Buy from Amazon 2) Micellar Water (for eye makeup) 3) Rosette Cleansing Paste Sea Clay Smooth - Buy From YesStyle  | Buy from Amazon I used my PMD Clean (from CAUSEBOX) to wash my face.
