These are some 10 of the best Cake Cafes in Singapore, which serves up attractively gorgeous, appetising cakes.
From Galaxy Cakes, Watermelon Strawberry Cakes, Rose Cake to locally inspired Chendol Cake, this is for you to fulfill your sweet tooth cravings.
I have every intention to expand this list, but will probably revisit some of the old favourites (so look out here for updates). For a start, many are home-grown patisseries that we should be proud of.

Mad About Sucre
27 Teo Hong Road, Singapore 088334
Tel: +65 62213969
Opening Hours: 12:30pm – 10:00pm (Tues – Sat), 12:30 – 5:30pm (Sun), Closed Mon
I have friends who are mad fans of Mad About Sucre, because this French patisserie (which has diversified to offer savouries) is just out of the ordinary.
Their cakes are exquisite, made with reduced sugar, using organic and/or natural ingredients with no artificial colors, no preservatives, no artificial flavours.
If Eric is there, get him to explain some of the cakes, and he will paint a beautiful story for your understanding.
The signature cake since Day 1 is the chocolate dome-shaped San Domingue ($12.80+), mousse made from 70% single origin chocolate, rum jewel box, caramelized plantain vanilla cream, and brittany crunch.
If this cake was a piece of jewellery, it would be a sparkling diamond. You could first consume the chocolate box filled with rum, allowing it to first create rich sensations in your mouth. Mad About Sucre (Teo Hong Road)

Antoinette at Penhas Road and Orchard Mandarin Gallery, has been known for its elegantly crafted pastries and Parisian bistro favourites.
There are 8 eight existing cake creations: Antoinette, Chloe, Jasmin, Le Royale, Strawberry Shortcake, Mont Blanc, Superlova, Le Fetish Éclair, and 5 have joined including La Rose and Orient.
The La Rose ($12) is just gorgeous. Each petal is hand-piped, and then fanned to create a rose. The cake is made with grand cru dark chocolate mousse, exotic caramel, almond nougatine, cocoa sponge, grand marnier and dark chocolate Chantilly.
Gets you in the mood for romance. Antoinette (Penhas Road)

Non Entrée Desserts
204 Rangoon Road, Singapore 218451 (Farrer Park MRT)
Opening Hours: 2pm – 10pm (Tue-Thu), 2pm – 11pm (Fri), 12pm – 11pm (Sat), 12pm – 10pm (Sun), Closed Mon
Non Entrée Desserts has been known for its experimental, fun, ever-changing, occasionally nostalgic cakes.
Being an ex-sous chef for pastry line at Basilico Regent Singapore, Francis Wong, together with 2 other friends, Toh and Goh, went through ‘thick and thin’ during their National Service days and decided to venture into the F&B industry.
Their aim is to introduce exquisite fine dining (aka non- entrée level) desserts to the ordinary café-hoppers (like us) at affordable price.
Drip drip and ooze ooze – the Chocolate Avalanche ($13.90) has been their signature.
Made up of 70% Valrhona chocolate lava, chocolate soil, almond nougatine and orange infused vanilla ice cream, the way to eat it was to stab the chocolate lava cake and almond nougatine with a knife to create the ‘avalanche’.
The updated version is a warm Matcha Green Tea Lava Cake ($13.90) with Azuki Beans flowing onto smokey roasted green tea gelato, crunchy almond nougatine and chocolate soil.
While it did seem gimmicky initially, the combination of various textures and taste worked. Non Entrée Desserts (Rangoon Road)

Patisserie G
Millenia Walk #01-40/41, 9 Raffles Blvd, Singapore 039596
Opening Hours: 7:30am – 9:00pm (Mon – Thurs), 7:30am – 10:00pm (Fri), 9:00am – 10pm (Sat), 9:00am – 9:00pm (Sun)

Tel: +65 6222 0390
Opening Hours: 7:30am – 7:00pm (Mon – Fri), 9:00am – 4:00pm, Closed Sun
Patisserie G is a pastry and café brand founded in 2012 by Gwen Lim, an entrepreneur and pastry chef, born and raised in Singapore.
The brand is homage to artisanal French techniques, simplicity and the love of high quality ingredients.
Combining that pursuit with Asian flavors has resulted into original creations such as Patisserie G’s version of a mooncake, the Gâteau Blune.
I generally enjoyed their chocolate-based cakes. What I would recommend would include The G Spot ($9) with dark chocolate mousse, chocolate meringue, chocolate hazelnut praline crunch; and Lychee Rose Cheesecake ($8.50) with lychee jelly at the top, crumble as base.

Boufé Boutique Café
308 Tanglin Road, Phoenix Park, #01-01, Singapore 247974
Tel: +65 6734 7656
Opening Hours: 8:00am – 7:00pm Last order 6:00pm (Mon – Fri), 9:00am – 7:00pm Last order 6:00pm (Sat – Sun)
Boufé Boutique Café is quite ulu to get to, but this is not stopping fans to visit Phoenix Park for their cakes and tranquil surroundings. (While I am at this, I used to teach at this location. Do you know Republic Poly used to be using the buildings here as temporary classrooms?)
Good to know too, everything in the menu is $20 and below.
Their best-selling cakes are the Mini Unicorn Cake ($8.50) and Milky Way ($8.50).
Made of white chocolate yoghurt mousse, honey genoise, chocolate sable & calamansi jelly, the Milky Way is pretty galaxy cake which is light and sweet, balanced with the tanginess of the calamansi jelly inside.

Cake Spade
83 Tanjong Pagar Road Singapore 088504 (Tanjong Pagar MRT)
Tel: +65 64443868
Opening Hours: 12:00pm – 9:30pm (Mon – Thurs), 12:00pm – 10:30pm (Fri, Sat, Eve of PH), Closed Sun
I have been supporting Cake Spade since the good old days when it was a small little shop at Orchid Hotel. It has since moved a couple of shops down to 83 Tanjong Pagar Road with a bigger, more comfortable shopfront.
Cake Spade believes in baking from scratch and using the best fresh ingredients – no use of chemical stabilizers and shortenings to extend the shelf life of the cakes and pastries,.
Some of the recommended include the Mississippi S’mores Cake, Mao Shan Wang Durian Cake, Hummingbird Cake, and Lychee Rose Cake.
The Strawberry Tofu Cheesecake ($6.90) has been a main-stayer. The tofu cheesecake with a smooth texture, is melded with a layer of Digestive biscuit crust or Oreo cookie crust and adorned with fresh strawberries, encased in jelly. Cake Spade (Tanjong Pagar)

Tel: +65 6221 6223
Opening Hours: 8:30am – 7:30pm (Mon – Fri), 10:30am – 5:30pm (Sat), Closed Sun
Popular with the CBD workers, Pantler is a place where straight-out-of-the-oven viennoiserie, pristine entremets and delectable sandwiches can be enjoyed with a good cup of coffee.
Everything is freshly made on-site using the highest quality ingredients, and its signature items that include the simple yet luscious Pantler Cheesecake.
Head Chef Tomoharu Morita who used to be part of the pastry team at Grand Hyatt Tokyo, has brought their signature cake The Yatsura ($8.50) over.
It features a dark chocolate mousse, a thin and crunchy feuilletine layer, a base of hazelnut dacquoise and covered with a chocolate glaze. Both delicate and intense at the same time. Pantler (Telok Ayer)

Chef Yamashita
Blk 1 Tanjong Pagar Plaza, #02-44, Singapore 082001
Opening Hours: 10:00am – 6:30pm (Mon – Sat), 10:00am – 4:00pm (Sun)
Fans of Japanese-style cakes shouldn’t miss this. Chef Yamshita Masataka who was trained in Tsuji Culinary Institute in Osaka Japan, was previously taking charge of the kitchen at Glace and Flor Patisserie (2 other fantastic places to get cakes).
He started his own patisserie at a slightly obscure shop on the 2nd level of Tanjong Pagar Plaza. There are limited seats, so most customers come for takeaways.
You can have a go at the soft and fluffy Ichigo Souffle ($6.80) a Japanese light cheese cake with fresh strawberries; Mt Fuji ($7.10) of Japanese chestnut cream with chocolate sponge; and Matcha Roll Slice ($6.80).

Cream & Custard
Blk 46 Jalan Bukit Ho Swee #01-894 (Tiong Bahru MRT)
Tel: +65 91118696
Opening Hours: 11:00am – 7:00pm (Mon – Fri), 10:00am – 6:00pm (Sat)
Cream and Custard, the humble homegrown café run by siblings Melissa and Wesley, probably had two big breaks – when they launched the Watermelon Strawberry Cake and Galaxy.
One good thing for regulars is they will come out with new cakes every single week.
It is not hard to associate the Watermelon Strawberry Cake ($7.80) with Sydney’s Black Star, though I had one friend who preferred C&C’s version!
The cake consists of two layers of almond dacquoise, fresh rose whipped cream and watermelon, spruced up with fresh strawberries, grapes, blueberries and rose petals.
Great when you need a slice of refreshing-ness. Cream & Custard (Jalan Bt Ho Swee)

Out Of The Cake Box
45 Telok Blangah Drive, #01-173, Singapore 100045

Opening Hours: 12:00pm – 8:30pm (Tues – Fri), 12:00pm – 9:00pm (Sat), 10:00am – 5:00pm (Sun), Closed Mon
You may just miss this unassuming cake shop Out of the Cake Box located at Telok Blangah Drive, and the basement of Our Tampines Hub.
With desserts like Chendol Cake, Chendol Fudge, Mango Sticky Rice, Watermelon Cake, White Rabbit (yeah, that nostalgic sweet), Rose Lychee, Matcha Yuzu Cheesecake — not only are they creative, they may please picky sweet-tooth looking for a unique dessert fix.
My favourite was the Mango Sticky Rice Cake (per piece $6; whole cake $24.80 to $96). Yeah, that Thai dessert in a cake form. Geng mak!
What you get is a square slice of layered coconut glutinous rice, mango jelly, pandan mousse, topped with Thai Honey Mangoes. Out Of The Cakebox (Our Tampines Hub)
