Plastic Cake Knives Hide Free Candles and Matches,  For Baked Treats Sold In South Korea

Digging into a delicious piece of cake often means there is something to celebrate. In South Korea, when you buy one of these baked goods, it comes with free candles and matches. However, if you are not too keen you might miss the thoughtful freebies because they come hidden inside the accompanying plastic cake knife.

Before western food influenced the Korean culinary scene, traditionally, desserts served in the country weren’t the sweet, sugary treats we know. Korean desserts were typically fresh-cut fruit, rice cakes, traditional cookies, and teas. While western desserts are now prevalent in Korean cafes, you’ll still find the traditional treats served around the country, particularly during festivals.
