Jamsil cake shop: blue bear cake for a best friend, Circus Rabbit

I wanted to make my best friend's birthday special and spent ages hunting for a sweet lettering lunchbox cake, which led me to Circus Rabbit, a handmade cake shop in Jamsil. Here's my honest, detailed review (•ө•)♡

How do you get to Circus Rabbit?

Circus Rabbit is in the basement of Jangmi Jonghap Sangga, about a 7-minute walk from Exit 3 of Jamsillaru Station. It was really easy to reach by public transport.

Enter through Entrance 8 of Building B

The shop is inside a commercial building, so first-timers might get a little confused. My quick tip: go in through Entrance 8 of Jangmi Jonghap Building B and take the stairs you see right away down. The shop is right in front of you as soon as you reach the bottom, so even on your first visit you won't get lost, and the pickup route is nice and clean ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

Can you park if you pick up by car?

If you come to pick up your cake by car, you can use the parking lot in the building, and you get 30 minutes of free parking. Perfect for a quick stop and grab.

How do booking and unmanned pickup work at Circus Rabbit?

A few days before my visit, I easily booked the date and cake design I wanted through Naver Booking. For office workers or students who can't make it during opening hours, Circus Rabbit also offers an unmanned pickup service.

Unmanned pickup is available Tuesday to Friday, 4 PM to 9 PM. You check the padlock code you were given beforehand and take the cake out of the fridge yourself, so you can pick up whenever suits you.

The blue bear lunchbox cake I chose for my best friend's birthday

Circus Rabbit has such a huge range, from budget-friendly lunchbox cakes to lovely designs and Best Designs, that choosing was a happy dilemma the whole time ♡⃛

For my best friend's birthday I picked the cute bear cake from the Best Design lunchbox cakes, in the basic milk cream and chocolate chip combo, and they did the background in a gorgeous blue, just as I'd hoped haha.

At the shop I gave the booking name and then chose candles to go with the cake. There were several basic candle designs to pick from, and I was impressed by how thoughtful the owner was to let us choose to our taste.

When I saw the fresh blue bear cake in person, it was even prettier and more luminous than in photos, and I couldn't help gasping out loud ꒰´꒳`꒱

The cute bear on the blue base felt so fresh and lovable that my best friend said it was totally her taste the second she saw it.

Clear bear case packaging and what's included

Even the packaging is a clear bear-shaped case, so the visuals work together beautifully. It was so pretty I took dozens of photos.

Inside the case there were 2 disposable forks and matches too, so for a birthday party outdoors or in a party room you don't need to bring anything extra. Very practical.

How did the milk cream and chocolate chip bear cake taste?

What surprised me most was that it isn't just about looks: the taste rivals a good professional bakery. They say they use 100% animal-based fresh cream, and it was clean, with no greasiness or slick feeling at all ʕ•ﻌ•ʔ

When I took a big bite of the sheet and cream, the deep, nutty flavor of real milk cream melted in my mouth and I couldn't help marveling.

The cake sheet inside was not dry at all, super moist and soft, a perfect match for the cream, and the crunchy sweet chocolate chips here and there made the texture and taste even more fun ♡⃛

The lunchbox cake is just the right size for two

The size is also just right for two people to share happily for a birthday, so we never got sick of it and finished every last bite. Very satisfying.

If you're looking for a great Jamsil, Songpa lettering cake spot with good value, a luminous blue design and excellent taste, I hope you'll prepare your special day at Circus Rabbit (•ө•)♡

++ Honestly a totally mindless girls' night lol;;
