BLACKPINK is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its debut. During the livestream, fans were moved to see all four members together again, while the mango cake on the table, topped with a “10” candle, unexpectedly became a trending topic. Sharp-eyed fans quickly noticed that the dreamy dessert, covered in golden mango chunks, was the same one IVE’s Jang Wonyoung had previously shared on her personal Instagram. The dessert that has won over two of the biggest girl groups comes from Pastry Boutique at The Shilla Seoul: its signature Mango Shortcake.
A Premium, Fresh and Sweet Treat: The Shilla Seoul’s Mango Shortcake
The Shilla Seoul is surely among the names that come to mind for upscale hotel desserts in Korea. Officially priced at KRW 115,000, this cake is called Mango Shortcake. Its appearance alone shows that the hotel is generous with its ingredients: thick slices of mango are layered over soft whipped cream and cake, offering a treat for the eyes and the palate that has made it a top choice for celebrating special occasions.
Irresistible From Jang Wonyoung to BLACKPINK
The market for fine desserts has become increasingly competitive in recent years, yet The Shilla Seoul’s position remains hard to shake. Before BLACKPINK’s 10th-anniversary livestream drew attention to the cake, Jang Wonyoung had already posted a birthday photo with the same mango cake on her personal Instagram. The fact that busy female stars choose it for private birthday celebrations and important anniversaries speaks to its appeal.
Among premium desserts in the same price range, it offers a noticeably more generous serving of fruit. The fresh mango flavor balances the rich sweetness of the whipped cream, which is a real plus for women who are conscious of their weight yet still want to satisfy a craving.
If you’re planning a trip to Seoul soon, consider adding this sweet treat to your itinerary.
