InterContinental Parnas stated that they have prepared the 'Dream Cloud Cake,' which captures children's dreams and innocence, and the 'Thank You Aeyeop Cake,' which expresses gratitude to parents. The Dream Cloud Cake depicts a world of innocence with a baby bear and balloons among clouds in the blue sky. It is topped with fresh mango, mango banana cream, and cotton candy on a cream cake. All chocolate decorations, including balloons and clouds, use products from the French premium chocolate brand 'Valrhona.' It can be pre-ordered through the Grand Deli Naver reservation system at least two days in advance and picked up between May 1 and May 5.

The Thank You Aeyeop Cake uses 'Aeyeop,' which refers to mugwort in traditional Korean medicine, as its main ingredient. According to Donguibogam, Aeyeop aids digestion and warms the stomach. This cake is a modern reinterpretation that considers taste, flavor, and health. Between the bread soaked with mugwort for a deep flavor and moist texture, layers of chantilly cream made with soybean powder and mugwort are stacked, with walnuts and red beans added in between for texture. Instead of sugar, natural trehalose is used to reduce sweetness by half, delivering a deep, natural umami and a subtle, non-irritating sweetness. A chocolate carnation handcrafted by a professional chocolatier adds visual beauty.

At InterContinental Seoul COEX, a 'Parents Cake' was also launched for Parents' Day. This cake uses healthy ingredients such as mugwort, with mugwort cream and injeolmi cream spread between mugwort bread, and red beans and walnuts added for texture. A fresh carnation decoration expresses gratitude toward parents.
