Send flowers with a cake, chocolate or Pepero to Korea

From another country you cannot walk into a Korean bakery or a convenience store yourself. You can still have a cake, a bottle, or a box of Pepero arrive with the flowers — one delivery, at one time, to one address.

This page lists everything that can travel with a bouquet or a basket, what each costs, and how the three Korean gift days — Valentine's Day, White Day and Pepero Day — actually work, because they are not quite the same as they are elsewhere.

What can be sent together with the flowers?

A fresh cream cake (₩31,000–₩38,000, three sizes), champagne (₩10,000–₩30,000, three grades), chocolate, sweets or Pepero (₩10,000 each), and a corsage (₩6,000) if someone will be wearing one — a parent at a ceremony, usually.

You choose these on the order form, under the flowers you are sending. There is no separate shop to visit and no second delivery fee; the price above is what is added to the flowers.

The cake is a plain fresh cream cake, the kind Korean bakeries sell for birthdays. We do not print photographs on it or letter it beyond a birthday plaque, so if the cake itself has to say something particular, say it on the card instead.

Why does this matter when you are sending from abroad?

Because the alternative is asking someone. From outside Korea you cannot buy the cake yourself, so the usual solution is to ask a friend or a sibling in Korea to pick one up and bring it over. That means telling them what you are planning, agreeing a time, and turning your gift into an errand for a third person — who then also knows about it.

Ordered together, it is one delivery, at one time, to one address. The flowers and the cake arrive in the same hands at the same moment, and nobody had to be let in on it.

After it is delivered we email you a photograph of what arrived, so you can see it even though you were not there. 08:00–21:00 KST, open every day

Which flowers can carry them?

Bouquets (from ₩45,000) and flower baskets (from ₩47,000). Most of what we carry in those two categories takes the add-ons; the order form shows them under the item when they are available.

Standing wreaths cannot carry them, and neither can orchids or potted plants. A wreath is a large free-standing tribute delivered to a venue — a wedding hall, a funeral hall, a shop on opening day — and there is nobody standing there to hand a cake to.

If you want to send both a wreath to a venue and a cake to a person, those are two orders to two addresses. Tell us and we will keep the timing together as far as we can.

Valentine's Day, White Day, Pepero Day — how do they work in Korea?

Valentine's Day (14 February) runs the opposite way round from most countries: in Korea it is the woman who gives, and what she gives is chocolate. Flowers with chocolate is the natural send for that day.

White Day (14 March) is a month later and is the answering day: the man gives, and the traditional gift is sweets — candy rather than chocolate. It is a real date in the calendar, not a novelty, and it is widely kept.

Pepero Day (11 November) is named for the date: 11/11 looks like four sticks of Pepero. Friends, classmates and colleagues give boxes of it to each other — it is light-hearted rather than romantic, which makes it an easy day to send something to someone you are not sure how to send flowers to. There is more on the day itself on Pepero Day.

All three are single days with a hard deadline. Order at least a day ahead for them; on the day itself, order before 6:00 PM KST and it still goes out the same day, but those three dates are our busiest of the year and the earlier the address reaches us, the better.

How do I order them together?

Choose the bouquet or basket first, then tick the cake, bottle or box on the same order form. Write your card message in the message field — it is written out and sent with the flowers, in English or in Korean, as long as you like.

We need the recipient's name, their Korean mobile number, and the delivery address. If it is an office or a campus, add the floor or room.

Order by 6:00 PM KST for same-day delivery. If you are working out whether you still have time today, count in Korean time — an evening in Europe or the Americas is already the next morning in Seoul.

Questions before you order?

Message us and a person will answer, usually within a few minutes during opening hours. We can help with the address, the ribbon wording, or choosing between arrangements.
