A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

Do you know about Korea’s “saeng-il cake”? “Saeng-il” means birthday cake.

Its特徴 is that it’s made with buttercream instead of whipped cream, and unlike Japanese birthday cakes that are lavishly decorated with lots of fruit, it has a simple, cute look.

The pastel-colored creams—like pink and blue—are colorful and eye-catching.

In this article, we introduce handmade ideas for saeng-il cakes.

There are also options you can easily make with store-bought items or whipped cream, so try making one for a loved one’s birthday or a party!

Christmas design

Many people probably want to try making a Christmas cake in the Korean-style ‘saeng-il’ (birthday) cake design.

Although ‘saeng-il’ means birthday, the cute look makes you want to make it for occasions other than birthdays too! How about keeping it simple: use plain white, uncolored cream as the base to represent snow, and then draw a tree on top with tinted cream? It’s very simple yet photogenic.

Adding touches like the words “Merry Christmas” and silver dragées would also be adorable.
