Where is the original store in Hongdae where I can order the pigeon cake?

The original creator of the pigeon cake is '@hearton.cake_official', and the article mentions it was ordered from 'Heart On Cake Yeonnam Branch'. This store is located at 1st floor, 102, Yeonhui-ro 1-gil 7, Mapo-gu, Seoul.

What was the approximate price of the pigeon cake mentioned in the article?

According to the article, the price of the pigeon cake was around ~$55, as told by a friend. The author felt this price was more expensive than expected.

How was the pigeon cake stored when visiting Caribbean Bay?

Before entering Caribbean Bay, there are lockers available to store food and luggage, and refrigerated lockers are also separately provided. The author left the pigeon cake in one of these refrigerated lockers and had a great time at Caribbean Bay.

After Everland closed, where could one eat late at night upon returning to Seoul?

After playing until Everland's closing time and returning to Seoul, it was almost midnight, and there were no restaurants open. The author concluded the birthday party at Haidilao, which operates until 5 AM.

Hearton Cake Hongdae: A Pigeon Birthday Cake Review 2026

As a self-proclaimed pioneer of the pigeon cake craze (or at least a huge fan!), I'm thrilled to share my review of receiving one of these iconic pigeon cakes.

I've always had a soft spot for pigeons.

While it's now illegal to feed them in public (with hefty fines of around ~$138!), I have fond childhood memories of sneaking rice from home to become the 'pigeon idol' at the park.

Honestly, pigeons are just adorable!

So, when the pigeon cake trend exploded recently, I was ecstatic. Then I stumbled upon this incredible pigeon cake someone ordered in Hongdae – I knew I had to have it!

When my friend asked what I wanted for my birthday, I didn't hesitate: the pigeon cake!

While many imitations have popped up, the original and undeniably best comes from @hearton.cake_official. Seriously, no other pigeon cake even comes close to their masterpiece.

Since the pigeon cake boom, Hearton Cake has been creating all sorts of bird-themed cakes – parrots, chickens, you name it! They truly are skilled artisans.

However, the price point is a bit steep.

I had no idea it would be quite so much, but my friend mentioned it was around ~$55!

My initial thought was, 'Could we make one ourselves?' But after carrying our pigeon cake (affectionately nicknamed 'Doolgi') around all day, its neck eventually snapped. The process of trying to fix its 'cervical fracture fixation & compression' (😂) made me fully understand why these cakes command such a price!

Anyway, to celebrate my birthday, we took our pigeon cake (aka 'Doolgi') on an adventure to Everland!

It was summer, so Caribbean Bay was a must. I have to admit, it felt like Everland is pouring all its energy into the theme park, while Caribbean Bay is showing its age a bit. It was still fun, but the 6 PM closing time, even before sunset, felt a little too early! Ugh.

Caribbean Bay has lockers for food and belongings before you enter, including refrigerated ones! We safely stowed Doolgi in a cold locker, enjoyed the water park, and then popped over to Everland for a bit.

"Look here, Doolgi!" I shouted, posing like a total attention-seeker in front of the Swing Spin ride (or some other spinning attraction!). Someone recognized our Doolgi and jokingly called it a 'lame pigeon' – I mean, it's not lame, but it still made me feel surprisingly proud!

After snapping some selfies with Doolgi, we hopped on the Everland Spin, then the Double Rock Spin.

Maybe it's because I'm getting older, but I felt so dizzy and scared, my legs were shaking afterwards! Still, being upside down for a bit made me feel a little younger, haha.

Inside Everland, there's also a beautiful Rose Garden, where we took more selfies with Doolgi. Seriously, night photos at Everland turn out amazing!

The journey back was exhausting, but it felt like we had the whole park to ourselves. We stayed until closing, and by the time we got back to Seoul, it was almost midnight – nowhere was open to eat!

To top it all off, Doolgi's head completely broke off, exhausted from all the travel!

We ended up at Haidilao Hot Pot, which is open until 5 AM, to have our birthday dinner. Walking into Haidilao in the early hours, without any wait, felt like a spontaneous trip to China, like we were in Shanghai!
