Snapshots from Seoul: Birthday Cake and Chopsticks and other Shots

Korean Birthday Cake. They eat it wit chopsticks and usually together as a group instead of getting lots of plates and stuff. These days, I am busy working at a Delectable Travels  and it is nice to be part of a good team. For years I worked independently or at small startups. I thought that working at a company was inhuman and against the "entrepreneurial" spirit. It's nice to have support and other opinions to help a business thrive. During lunches and such, I don't have as much time as I used to to find all the best eats. Luckily after work, we can do that. Anyway, these are just some snapshots I have taken and wanted to share with you. I particularly love the first one which is of our team celebrating a colleagues' birthday party. The cake was actually pretty good. It was the banana cake from Paris Baguette. The cake was light and it had fresh marshmallows. Oh, marshmallows are a thing now and I think will be trendy this year. Enjoy the pics. Dan ...

Paris Croissant in never a bad option for birthday cakes

Birthday Cake From Paris Croissant Paris Croissant is never a bad option for birthday cakes in Korea. When it was my friend and business partner's birthday, I had to make a mad dash to find a delicious cake that would meet her expectations. Jia is a foodie, a chef, and a friend so not just any cake would do. Ideally, I should have made a cake, but that week I was quite busy with projects. So...during my lunch break I made it over to the Paris Croissant in Insadong and picked out several pieces of cake and got candles. I opted with getting several cakes because I think variety is the spice of life and because I simply can't decide. The chocolate cake was excellent- creamy and rich and so were the cheesecakes: strawberry and blueberry. It was a nice way to end the day with an office birthday party. Dan
