Jamsil cake shop: job-offer congrats lunchbox cake, Circus Rabbit

Why I chose a Circus Rabbit lettering cake to celebrate a job offer

A close friend passed a job interview, so we set up a celebration, and I picked up a lettering lunchbox cake from Circus Rabbit (서커스래빗) in Jamsil. Just having a meal felt like not enough, so we added a cake.

Circus Rabbit often comes up as a great cake shop in Jamsil, so that's where I ordered the lunchbox cake. I was coming from work and got there after 4 p.m., so I used unmanned pickup, and it was way easier than I expected. Let me walk you through it from order to pickup 😊

How to order from Circus Rabbit: Naver reservation vs KakaoTalk

You can order from Circus Rabbit in two ways: Naver reservation or the KakaoTalk channel. Naver reservation is quick and easy with fixed designs and no changes. It's only for lunchbox cake No. 1, and you need to book at least 3 days ahead.

On the KakaoTalk channel, the quick chat menu covers whole-cake orders, lunchbox cake orders, cake size info, pickup info and parking info, so even first-time customers shouldn't get confused.

I wanted a Jamsil lettering cake with my own message, so I ordered ahead!

How does Circus Rabbit's unmanned pickup work?

Pickup after 4 p.m., Tuesday to Friday, is unmanned. If you booked on Naver, they text you the unmanned pickup instructions, and after they confirm your cake you just follow the link to pick it up.

The instructions are also posted big in front of the shop, so I managed fine on my own 👍

• 1️⃣ Check your name and the last 4 digits of your phone number
• 2️⃣ Take your cake
• 3️⃣ Close the door and be sure to lock it, hinge first, then padlock
• 4️⃣ Send a pickup-complete message to Circus Rabbit on KakaoTalk

If you want extra candles, pay for them and take them along; the account number is on the notice in the shop.

Even if you finish work late, you only need to arrive before 9 p.m., so it's a really convenient system for office workers!

Circus Rabbit cake features and storage tips

Circus Rabbit says its cakes use 100% animal-based fresh cream and cake sheets baked in-house, with no emulsifiers, preservatives or chemical additives.

• 🥛 100% animal-based fresh cream
• 🍰 Cake sheets baked in-house
• 🚫 No emulsifiers, preservatives or chemical additives

How to store the cake

❄️ Eat it the same day if you can. If not, refrigerate it and finish it by the next day. From the day after pickup, the cream's coloring may bleed or the cream may sag.

Traveling by car

🚗 Circus Rabbit's cakes have no fixing pins, so when you drive, put the cake on a flat spot like the passenger-seat floor.

A note on fresh-flower cakes

🌸 The flowers on fresh-flower cakes are sanitized but not edible, so take them off before eating.

What the '합격 축' lettering lunchbox cake looked like

When I opened the packaging, the words '합격 축' (congratulations on passing) sat cutely in chocolate-colored letters on pure white cream. Below it, I had my friend's company name written inside a pink heart 💗

The cake was wrapped in parchment paper printed with little bears, so it was adorable from the moment I opened the box.

Inside were a fork, a 'Congratulations!' label and an info card. The card explains how to store the cake, which was handy.

How did the Circus Rabbit lunchbox cake taste?

Maybe because it's animal-based cream, the cream wasn't heavy and melted cleanly, and the two of us finished it fast. The sheet was moist too and went well with the cream.

Best of all, my friend loved the message the second they saw it, so the effort was worth it 🥹

As a lunchbox cake, the size isn't overwhelming either, so it was perfect for a small celebration.

Verdict: recommended for office workers prepping a cake after work

If you're looking for a cake in Jamsil, I highly recommend Circus Rabbit! The clean designs, additive-free fresh cream and unmanned pickup after 4 p.m. make it really thoughtful for working people.

I'd recommend this Jamsil lettering cake to anyone planning a birthday, job-offer or anniversary celebration 🎉
