Billy Angel Cake Company | Seoul, South Korea

I watched this video on the internet a year or so ago about a 20 layer rainbow crepe cake made of all different fruity flavors. The cake shop was located in Seoul, South Korea. The video made the cake look awesome and delicious and exotic. At the time I thought "Wow, that's really cool. I'd love to try that." but never did I imagine I'd actually try that cake!

In fact, rainbow cakes are quite popular here in South Korea. You'll find different versions in dessert and coffee shops in almost every mall, but I'd yet to try one!

Simply put, I'd never tried a rainbow cake before the Billy Angel Cake Company because it wasn't the rainbow cake that I'd seen in the video. I had to have that one. In fact, I'd thought the Billy Angel Cake Company had gone out of business after a quick Google search had only revealed a location that hadn't been updated in a year or two (I've yet to actually visit said location...) I was sad and disappointed. I'll admit, there were several times where I almost gave in to those other rainbow cakes.

So imagine my surprise when, on our way to the Yeouido Cherry Blossom Festival, we found a Billy Angel Cake Company, the cake shop in the video I'd watched all those years ago. Say what!?

I took a sharp turn into the cake shop, with Ethan tagging along behind. He must have thought I had an immediate craving for cake, not realizing that it was the Billy Angel Cake Company I'd talked about in the past. Of course, I had to stop and get a piece. It would be the perfect addition to our time in the park seeing the cherry blossoms.

After spotting the cake and making our purchase, "to go please", I pulled out my DSLR for a couple of quick shots.

The girls working there must have thought I was crazy, photographing their store and the menu, (notice them ducking behind the counter in the shot below). I just had to share my find with you guys, just in case you were like me, and didn't know this rainbow crepe cake still existed because, ahem, Google let you down.

In addition to several types of cake, you can also grab a beverage, which makes this a great place to stop on your way to Yeouido Park.

So there you have it. Billy Angel Cake Company does exist. And for all you foreigners who use Google exclusively to get around (like me!), I've marked the location in the map below. There is apparently another location in Seoul, however I cannot vouch for it's existence because I have not physically been there.

So how was the infamous rainbow layer crepe cake from Billy Angel Cake Company?

I'd give this cake a 3.5 out of 5 stars. The crepe layers were quite moist and the mousse creme was moderately sweet. It was actually pretty cool to taste the different layers separately – they were all quite fruity. Yum!

Now I think I can finally branch out and try other rainbow cakes after checking this one off my bucket list. Sweet!
