There's a new Korean cake shop in strathfield called 'Hello Happy' and boy was I happy when it finally opened! It's got a large range of western cakes - both in slices and as whole cakes as well as an array of asian breads (which I've yet to try).
There's also a seating area so you can sit down and enjoy your cake/bread with a cup of tea/coffee. I like their wall, very cute!
The fruit tart was so pretty! Great variety of fresh fruits and the portions were generous too! Though I thought the custard could have been a bit better.
Haha this one had a funny name. I wanted it because it had half a macaroon stuck to it but the macaroon was a MAJOR dissapointment! It was the first thing I ate off that cake and it was dry and hard which made me worry that the rest of the cake wasn't that great either. But I mean they even decorated it with gold leaf!! It can't be THAT bad right? Yep the rst of that cake was good! It reminded me of the Christine and the 100% pure pleasure but this one was definitely cheaper and it had a very cute name (the name describes the cake really well - it was chocco! LOL).
Black Forest
I'm not much of a black forest person. I find that they are almost always dry and the cream artifical. I sneaked a little taste and it seemed to confirm my expectations although my mum seemed to enjoy it (she's a black forest person).
Overall the cakes are pretty decent, ranging from $4.50 - $6 or so a slice. I would recommend that you ask a friend who can speak Korean to go with you though. I'm not Korean, I don't even look Korean! I talked to them in English yet they responded to me in Korean which really put me off. In the end we made it clear that we weren't Korean which received looks of shock and an apology on our way out LOL

Cute name! Reminds me of most of the other Korean style engrish on those Morning Glory stationery products! Shame about the bad macaron though
haha, that choco choco cake looks like a cut down version of the Adriano Zumbo masterchef cake!

what an awesome selection of cakes! They should call it goodbye happy though. because once you're leaving you'll really happy after eating all that cake!

Hey,
my cousin Dani told me about your blog, and I had a look - very impressive! I like how you convey your passion for food in your posts.
Though I do have to say that, being German, I do know a bit about Black Forest Cakes, which are my absolute favourites - and that slice on the picture doesn't look like a very good Black Forest to me. Well, not one that I would eat anyway. And your opinion on Black Forest Cakes also sounds like you've only ever tried those. I really wish I could send you a slice to convert you. ;)
I have a food blog myself, check it out:
