If you’re trying a birthday “saengil” cake for the first time, why not start with a standard buttercream cake with a simple look? Buttercream may seem intimidating, but there are plenty of easy, beginner-friendly recipes on video sites.

Let the butter come fully to room temperature and beat it until creamy, then combine it with a meringue made from egg whites.

It’s a bit more work than whipped cream, but it’s easier than you might think.

For seon-il cakes, it’s common to use buttercream made by combining butter and meringue rather than whipped cream.

Buttercream has a rich, thick texture that’s delicious, but for those who aren’t fond of it, here’s the idea of making it simply with whipped cream instead.

Another advantage is that whipped cream is more economical.

Many people are also more accustomed to handling whipped cream in everyday baking.

Tint it your favorite color and use it for decoration.
