There's also the carrot madeleine, baked with carrot and pecan, piped with yogurt cream cheese and topped with a cute carrot chocolate 🥕🥕 It caught the kids' eyes too — mine kept begging me to buy it for them haha. ## Salt bread and 9 financier flavors, including the gamtae financier seen on TV Salt bread baked completely crisp on the outside.

The generosity of giving them away as a review event gift shows the owner really wants everyone to taste it 🎁 ## What I took home: salt bread and 5 madeleine flavors This time I picked up salt bread and 5 madeleine flavors (black sesame, yellow cheese, matcha, chestnut, and yuzu). ### Salt bread with a crackly crust This Gongdeok dessert favorite is also known for its salt bread. I personally prefer salt bread with a fully crisp crust over a soft one, and this had exactly that crackly, crisp exterior — I could feel the crunch even cutting into it at home. The inside had a clear butter cave, too! ### Black sesame and chestnut madeleines These madeleines are made for anyone who loves grandma-style flavors — the black sesame madeleine and chestnut madeleine at this Gongdeok dessert favorite! Both looked packed with quality toppings, so I grabbed them right away. ![Black sesame and chestnut madeleines cut in half](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-fluffy-bakeshop-weekend-openrun-madeleine/gongdeok-fluffy-bakeshop-weekend-openrun-madeleine-17-17ru9-900.webp) Cut in half, both were filled with nutty black sesame spread — a rich, old-school flavor that hits the spot. The chestnut madeleine was just as good, with moist, sweet Bonny chestnuts and soft Mont Blanc cream packed generously inside. ### Matcha madeleine ![Chocolate-coated matcha madeleine](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-fluffy-bakeshop-weekend-openrun-madeleine/gongdeok-fluffy-bakeshop-weekend-openrun-madeleine-18-12cpe-900.webp) *Matcha madeleine at this Gongdeok dessert favorite, Fluffy Bake Shop* You can tell just from the color that this is a matcha madeleine specialty spot… the glossy sheen made it impossible not to buy 🍵 And it doesn't disappoint! The bitterness of the matcha balances beautifully with the sweetness of the premium chocolate 💚 ![Cross-section of matcha madeleine showing thick belly button](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-fluffy-bakeshop-weekend-openrun-madeleine/gongdeok-fluffy-bakeshop-weekend-openrun-madeleine-19-13pxn-900.webp) The matcha madeleine at this Gongdeok dessert favorite! Matcha lovers will go wild for the thick, rich matcha coating — the belly button (the signature madeleine bump) is thick and heavy. Definitely a must-add stop for any Seoul bakery-hopping route 💚 ### Yuzu madeleine ![Yuzu madeleine coated in yuzu glaze](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-fluffy-bakeshop-weekend-openrun-madeleine/gongdeok-fluffy-bakeshop-weekend-openrun-madeleine-20-24nft-900.webp) ![Cross-section of madeleine showing yuzu confit](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-fluffy-bakeshop-weekend-openrun-madeleine/gongdeok-fluffy-bakeshop-weekend-openrun-madeleine-21-lx66z-900.webp) Recommended if you like bright, sweet-tart desserts! The yuzu confit gives a sharp citrus burst in every bite ✨ The glaze on the outside is sweet and crisp too, and it's not overwhelmingly sugary — a flavor adults will enjoy too! ![Take-home pastries from Fluffy Bake Shop](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongdeok-fluffy-bakeshop-weekend-openrun-madeleine/gongdeok-fluffy-bakeshop-weekend-openrun-madeleine-22-ucd35-900.webp) *This Gongdeok dessert favorite, Fluffy Bake Shop* Maybe it's because they use AOP-grade Le Beurre Bordier butter, but the butter flavor really stands out across the board.
