I was only given 5 days to send this cake to the customer and gave a certain of the budget for this project. She knew that I liked to experiment with new things and challenged me to make something out of ordinary. Last month, a friend commissioned me to make a cake with a reference to my previous Dakgangjeong recipe. This custom cake was made especially by request, considering the receiver did not like sweets. That is how my friend knew about this and asked me to make an unusual cake like this Korean Fried Chicken Cake. I did not usually post this kind of cake on my website, but my friends mostly know about this from my Instagram stories. I have done a lot from lasagna, okonomiyaki stacks to tortilla cakes. My creativity was tested because I did not like to do the same things over and over. Consider I had to make about one cake for each month. There were about a dozen people in my old office. But in most cases, they asked me to make savory cakes because not everyone out there actually likes cakes. I usually alternate the sweet and savory options.

When I still worked at my corporate job, the job of getting my coworkers’ birthday cake fell on my hands. Not only limited to sweet foods, but it could be savory foods or something that looks similar to cake shape. But it is actually about cake alternatives made from other ingredients. What I mean about is not the usual sweet cakes from a mixture of flour, shortening, eggs, and sugar. I have been asked a lot by my friends to make a cake that is not a cake.
