Pavlova Cake Perfection: Hayoung’s Artistic Bake Shines on Fun-Staurant

The latest episode of Fun-Staurant (KBS 2TV) reveals an unexpected culinary talent as Hayoung takes on the challenge of baking a pavlova cake. Previously, Hayoung impressed viewers with her creative ramen recipe and homemade kimchi, but this week, she shifts her focus to baking—demonstrating that cooking is another outlet for her artistic expression.

In the recent broadcast, Hayoung discovers a baking toolkit and decides to attempt a pavlova cake—a sophisticated dessert made without flour, relying instead on eggs and sugar to form a crispy exterior and a chewy interior. This meringue-based dessert has been trending across SNS for its elegant aesthetic and light texture.

Despite pavlova often being considered a high-end dessert, Hayoung confidently explains that anyone can recreate it at home. Without a mixer, she manages to whip up a perfect meringue, highlighting her resourceful approach. Her background in fine arts—having majored in art since middle school and studied at one of New York’s top three art institutions—plays a pivotal role in her cake’s visual presentation, turning it into a true piece of edible art.

The beautifully crafted pavlova cake and Hayoung’s passionate dive into baking can be seen on the May 23 episode of Fun-Staurant, only on KBS 2TV.
