The Korea Times has an article giving a look at the popularity of cupcake bakeries in Korea. My friend's boyfriend is in Korea for several months so I may have to send him to investigate! The cupcake bakeries covered are Life is Just a Cup of Cake, Good Ovening Cupcake and Royal Cupcake.
Royal Cupcake may be the perfect place for those who are looking for fancy decorations and colorful frostings: the completion of a fabulous cupcake.
``The main reason why cupcakes are popular is because they are cute, easy to eat and most of all, pretty!'' Kum Ki-young, the owner of Royal Cupcake, told The Korea Times.
The exterior of the shop stands out with its pink and white walls, yet the inside shows a more modern touch with black and white chairs and tables.
However the ``royalness'' is projected with the fancy cupcakes lined up inside the glass container. From bunny ears to flower petals, Royal Cupcake offers not only delicious cakes, but decorates them so they look like they have just jumped out of a fairy tale book.
``To be honest, it would be hard to say that our cupcakes are healthy, but consider them as a treat. Sometimes, people need something sweet, and our cupcakes are the perfect choice, especially for young, curious and stylish women,'' Kum said.
Fancy and sweet they may be, but the owner emphasized that she uses the best ingredients, from fresh fruit, chocolate from France and butter.

I'll bet they'll come up with asian flavors, though: green tea, sweet potato, chestnut, red bean, etc.
