Stick Around for these Pepero Cakes that are Sweet Enough to bring Home

Stick Around for these Pepero Cakes that are Sweet Enough to bring Home - The Daebak Company

How about some cookies with your cake? As filling a dessert that cake can be on its own, the added reward of chocolate-coated cookies has us saving room for more. Best of all, there’s no need to wait to find a bakery churning out these sugary treats. If you can bake a sponge cake, you can make a Pepero cake.

In its classic form, the cake is round and surrounded by Pepero with a pretty bow tied around it like the gift of deliciousness that it is. Don’t worry about picking a special limited edition flavor of Pepero, just go with what you like since, in this case, your only limit truly is your imagination. Experiment with flavor combinations or use the Pepero as inspiration to enhance the flavor of the cake. No one will complain about an Oreo-filled cookies and cream cake with cookies and cream Pepero dancing around it--and if they do, that’s simply more for you to enjoy!

Chocolate chips and fruit filling go hand-in-hand with chocolate Pepero, adding not only another layer of flavor, but another layer of texture, too! We’re already imagining white chocolate strawberry (or a dark chocolate cherry!), sparked by the sight of this chocolate chip and raspberry combo.

Cake, cookies, and candy come together for a double dose of playful Pepero cakes! Who said you had to stick to one flavor? Chocolate almond and cookies and cream give these desserts a look that’s almost as regal as the crowns set on top.

It’s not easy to find a single stick of Pepero large enough to share, but why not make one of your own? A roll cake is a perfect shape to bake and decorate as your favorite Pepero biscuit. What icing would you pick? Add sprinkles, nuts, and cookie crumbles to create a giant replica sweet enough to slice for seconds.

Short in stature, and big on flavor, the double-dipped vanilla and latte Pepero shine as the stars of this Mocha Crumble coffee cake by Cooking Tree, a South Korea-based ASMR cooking channel:
