Ever since the famous New York Lady M thousand-layer cake came to Taiwan, it sparked a craze for thousand-layer desserts. But Taiwan also has many delicious thousand-layer and other sweets that can rival international brands. Hidden in the alleys of Kaohsiung, there is an old-house-style hipster dessert shop—today’sweet. With the warmth of handmade treats and a commitment to using locally sourced fresh ingredients, this shop originally started as a studio and dessert consignment within a bookstore. It has now earned its own storefront, blending creative dessert ideas with literature, hence earning the nickname "literary desserts."

The chef insists on using local, fresh, and premium ingredients, without adding any chemical flavorings, colorings, or preservatives. To ensure dessert quality, they adhere to daily limited production, allowing everyone to enjoy their carefully made sweets with more peace of mind.
