Seongsimdang, a famous bakery in Daejeon, has created a statue of its signature cake, the 'Strawberry Siru,' to celebrate its 70th anniversary. The bakery posted photos on Instagram, describing the cake’s layered chocolate sponge and sweet cream topped with abundant fresh strawberries and noting the cake’s 2.3 kg heft symbolizes Seongsimdang’s generous spirit. Launched on January 30, 2023 as 'Strawberry Chocolate,' the cake was later renamed 'Strawberry Siru' inspired by 'siru-tteok' (traditional Korean steamed rice cake) for its layered look. The post invited visitors to take photos with the statue; online reactions were largely positive, with commenters praising the name and asking about its price.
