Daegu Shinsegae cake shop, impulse-buy mini fig cake at 7pm: Siznique

In short

Siznique Shinsegae Department Store Daegu Branch is a fresh-fruit cake shop on the B1 floor of Shinsegae Department Store in Dong-gu, Daegu. The writer had not planned to buy anything, but stopped by around 7pm on a weekday, saw a mini fig cake still left in the case and bought it on the spot. Cut open, the Siznique fig cake had far more fig than sponge and was not overly sweet, making it a good pick for fig lovers or anyone wanting a different kind of cake.

Why I picked the mini fig cake at Siznique Shinsegae Department Store Daegu Branch

The item I picked at Siznique Shinsegae Department Store Daegu Branch this time was the mini fig cake. I had no plan to buy a cake at all, but the moment I saw the fig cake in the showcase I knew I had to eat it..

When you go to a department store, it's not just about shopping, it's also fun to browse the desserts, right?! 🤤 And among all of them, this look caught my eye 😭

Will there still be cakes at 7pm on a weekday?

I visited Siznique Shinsegae Department Store Daegu Branch at around 7pm on a weekday, and a lot of the cakes were already gone 😭 But!! The fig cake I was most curious about was thankfully still there, haha 🤍

Mango cake and mango cream basque in the showcase

Siznique's famous mango cake 🥭 You'd honestly spill mango all over the place carrying this home..

Siznique mango cream basque on display

This one is the mango cream basque (a creamy, burnt-top cheesecake)!! And the mango cake above it really has way more fruit than sponge!!

Large Siznique fig cake on display

The fig cake comes in a large size and a mini size

Look at this gorgeous fig cake 🤩😍 I'll gladly eat you.. The showcase photo is the large size, and I bought the mini size!

I also liked that the mini size is a good choice when a big cake feels like too much. I think it also suits anyone who wants a light dessert or a cake to share between two~!!

Siznique Peach Farm Wareureu cake

Another insane-looking cake, different from the mango one!! Great name too.. Peach Farm Wareureu (복숭아농장와르르, roughly "peach farm come tumbling down") hahaha

There's a peach cream basque too! If the Peach Farm Wareureu cake above feels like too much, I'd recommend this one!

I want to eat them all 😭 😂😂🤤🤤🤤

Mini fig cake: how much fig, and how does it taste?

Ta-da~ The Siznique mini fig cake looks amazing, doesn't it?! This is the one that caught my eye..🫶🏻

When choosing a cake, looks matter as much as taste! And a cake with figs feels different from the cakes you usually eat, so it feels extra special!!
