Songpa cake shop: pearl princess bridal shower cake, Circus Rabbit

What kind of place is Circus Rabbit?

Circus Rabbit (서커스래빗) is a dessert shop in Jangmi Shopping Complex, known as a go-to spot for lettering cakes in Jamsil and Songpa. Unmanned pickup is available Tuesday to Friday until 9 PM, it's open 10:00–16:00 on Saturdays, and it's closed every Sunday and Monday. You can reserve through Naver, and parking is available.

I reserved a whole cake for a friend's bridal shower and headed to Circus Rabbit. The shop is famous for its lunchbox cakes, and above all for its lettering cakes! I once ordered my mom's birthday cake here too, so I trust the quality. Come to think of it, I've bought lunchbox cakes here as well... wait, am I a regular here?!

How to get to Circus Rabbit in Jangmi Shopping Complex

Circus Rabbit is right inside Entrance 8 of Building B of Jangmi Shopping Complex in Jamsil. The complex is a well-known social media hotspot these days, an old-school Jamsil spot with a lot of character.

I wandered around on my own at first, then followed the directions the owner sent me and got it right away! The explanation was so kind and so spot-on, exactly what you'd want.

Circus Rabbit sells more than cakes: butter tteok, dujjonku and fruit sando too. Butter tteok is totally my style lately, so now I'm curious. There are lots of famous restaurants around Circus Rabbit, so it'd be fun to pick up dessert and make a food tour of it. Jangmi Shopping Complex is full of old-school eateries that are hard to find elsewhere in Jamsil.

Can you pick up after work? Unmanned fridge pickup

Circus Rabbit offers unmanned pickup until 9 PM Tuesday to Friday, so since I was coming after work on a Friday, I used it. You open the fridge with a password that changes every day and take your cake.

After work, getting somewhere at an exact time is stressful because things are so unpredictable.. so I love a convenient system that doesn't care about the clock.

The cake is so pretty, right?! I'm totally satisfied! Circus Rabbit includes storage instructions, so you just follow them. They also note when to eat it, and I think they made the cake to match the point when it settles best! Full marks for the thoughtfulness, Circus Rabbit owner.

Which design was recommended for a bridal shower cake?

The Circus Rabbit owner recommended this cake as the one that sells most often for bridal showers. The photo above is one the owner took and sent me personally>< A professional's touch really is different.

The owner is so kind, really so kind. Besides this cake, they ran through all sorts of other options too, like a proposal cake and a tiara cake.

Carrying the cake from Jamsil to Incheon

I picked up the flower bouquet at Helio City, picked up the cake at Circus Rabbit in Jangmi Shopping Complex, and headed home! It wasn't that hot yet, so I didn't even need a cooler bag!

Heave-ho, this is heavy. I carried this thing all over the place that day, haha. It's so pretty just to look at, so it was a heavy but exciting trip.

Delivery and surprise from Jamsil to Incheon: done. I'm not sure the surprise really landed, but anyway, the princess party was short and sweet! The flowers, the princess set and the Circus Rabbit cake all matched perfectly>< It went well with my friend's outfit that day too, so I was happy. Rather than renting some grand party room, a small party like this.. haha. I'd been rushing to prepare since morning.

Which cake flavors can you choose at Circus Rabbit?

At Circus Rabbit you can choose from milk cream, Oreo chocolate chip, raspberry compote, or seasonal fruit (extra charge). I reserved and picked up the seasonal fruit cake with strawberries.

Wow, this princess cake studded with pearls is the best. It's not just the pearls, the texture itself is somehow pretty. Strawberry season is ending soon and the fruit will change to another seasonal one, so the cake is set to transform into something even more delicious. What will the next seasonal fruit be? I'm curious!

Trying a slice of the strawberry seasonal fruit cake

Just for the mood, before going to eat dinner, I decided to try a single slice of the Circus Rabbit strawberry cake~~ Strawberry season is almost over, but it was still sweet and tasty.

I smashed up a slice and finished it off. The cake is pretty, so it's beautiful. Strawberries dotted through the milk cream. Sincerely congratulating my friend on her wedding,, and that's my Jamsil, Songpa bridal shower cake recommendation!
