Welcome to HodoKwaja

The official date of opening of Hodo Kwaja was October 29, 1992. The founders, Jong Sik Lee & Bok Lee Kim opened the bakery with hopes of selling quality baked goods with a part of their culture.
 

Hodo Kwaja is one of the oldest and most successful walnut cake bakery in Canada with the help of an open concept idea; by placing the machine in the front of the store instead of the back like previous and similar businesses have tried. After trial and error they were able to perfect the recipe for their now famous Red Bean and Mashed Potato fillings. Over the years both Mr. Lee and Mrs. Kim created, customized and added new products to their at first simple menu and has greatly contributed to their 33 years of success.
 

Prior to opening one of the first successful Walnut Cake bakery in Canada, Walnut Cakes were imported from Los Angeles to Korean supermarkets across the G.T.A. Hodo Kwaja currently ships to Hanin Mart in Halifax, NS.
