I’d disagree with those Guardian folks. It’s not as “scary” as much as it’s the antithesis of what happens back home. We have great seasonal cakes, pies and other desserts but, yes, decoration is lacking. However, let’s not forget the huge feasts that usually go with Christmas – can we really expect such over the top decorations?

In Korea, it’s completely overdone and gaudy. However, that’s the best part of these cakes because the taste is absolutely flat and non-nuanced. It’s just sugar on top of sugar…ugh. I’ll pass.

This Christmas I was lucky enough to have authentic German Stollen and Glühwein during the desert course ;)
