It's All the Rage! Targi Cake ♡
Although the strawberry season is coming to an end...!
This bright red strawberry cake has been all over Instagram this year ♡
It's absolutely adorable, isn't it? ♡
This cake, decorated with sliced strawberries applied to the sides to showcase their cross-section, is called 【Targi Cake】*
Targi cake is a term in Korean.
The word "Targi" (달기/dalgi) means strawberry in Korean, so it literally translates to strawberry cake ♡
Originally, the term Targi cake encompasses all sorts of strawberry cakes, but....
The main trend in Japan right now is this decorated Targi cake that I've been introducing.
When it comes to cake baking, the thought of having to bake a sponge cake seems daunting... However, many people actually make this square type of Targi cake using "bread" due to its shape!
At the supermarket,
✅ Bread
✅ Just-squeeze whipped cream
✅ Strawberries
You can simply buy these ingredients,
cut the bread, spread the whipped cream, and attach the sliced strawberries... If it's just that, even I, who tends to be lazy, feel like I could give it a try, and I'm intrigued by it*
In this article, I'll introduce some cute examples that I'd like to refer to when making a square box-type Targi cake ♩

Let's Try Making a Targi Cake ♩
A Targi cake made with plenty of strawberries, showcasing bright red strawberry cross-sections everywhere, is super cute and looks delicious.
It seems stylish, but it should be surprisingly easy to make, so when I see strawberries for sale, I think I’ll give it a try ♡
