Top 10 Cakes in Singapore

September 20, 2011 | 18 Comments

Antoinette Cake

Cakes were invented, I believe, for the sole purpose of making us happy. With so many dessert places in Singapore, we are simply spoiled for choice.

Among all the bakeries, cake shops and patisseries in Singapore, where can you find the best cakes? Which sweet treats are worth a try?

There really is no “best cake” since each one has a different story and appeals to different people accordingly. We all have our own favourite desserts, but whatever yours is, I hope you’re eating it.

Here’s my list of the top 10 cakes in Singapore.

I crave desserts like people stranded on the desert crave water.

Antoinette from Antoinette Patisserie

I had the namesake cake (milk chocolate mousse is infused with earl grey tea) when I went to the new patisserie by Chef Pang Kok Keong, and I fell in love with it.

The Antoinette (picture above) from Antoinette Patisserie is good. Okay, maybe ‘good’ is not the right word since it doesn’t convey the depth of my feelings. How about wonderful? Amazing? This is, without a doubt, one of the top 10 cakes in Singapore.

Napoleon Cake Mille feuille

Napoleon Cake from Flor Patisserie

Flor Patisserie’s Mille-feuille (also known as Napoleon cake) has a layer of cake in between the layers of puff pastry and cream. I love how the puff pastry crumbled in the mouth together with the cake and cream.

Plaisir Sucré from Laurent Bernard Chocolatier

One of my favourite cakes from Laurent Bernard Cafe is the Pleasure ($9.80). The classic Plaisir Sucré comprises whipped chocolate cream and ganache in between the beautiful and delicate chocolate sheets, and a base of hazelnut and praline; it is out-of-this-world good.

Strawberry Shortcake

Strawberry Shortcake from Barracks Cafe

Barracks Cafe’s rendition is the one that most people mention when you ask them where to get a good strawberry shortcake.

Tiramisu from Da Paolo Gastronomia

When it comes to the tiramisu, very few can do it better than Da Paolo. Considered by many people to be the best tiramisu in Singapore, this is definitely a must try if you are a fan of the popular Italian dessert.

290 Orchard Road
#B1-20 The Paragon

Canele Patisserie Matcha Cake

Matcha from Canele Patisserie

Smooth and delicate green tea mascarpone mousse, with chestnut cream in the middle of the cake – the Matcha cake from Canele Patisserie is a must-try for green tea lovers.

Chocolate Amer from Bakerzin

The flawless combination of flour-less chocolate sponge and bitter chocolate mousse makes the Chocolate Amer one of my favourite cakes from Bakerzin.

Chiffon Cake

Chiffon Cake from Tampopo Deli

The chiffon cake from Tampopo Deli is one of the most under-rated cakes. Try it and you’ll know why it is in my list of top 10 cakes in Singapore.

Strawberry Souffle from Patisserie Glace

This is Patisserie Glace’s Strawberry Souffle, also known as the gateway to heaven. To me, this is one of the best cakes that I’ve ever eaten.

    Love this post! I enjoyed a family vacation to Singapore 2 years ago and didn’t have enough time to explore all the great eats. Though I couldn’t leave without enjoying a Singapore Sling from The Raffles. I must try all these fantastic cakes you just suggested. Must go back soon!

    Hi, thanks for recommending all the nice dessert in Singapore. Recently I went to Antoinette Fench Pastry, the Antoinette milk chocolate cake was good n it was not too sweet. The French toast with hot chocolate was great too but not the iced chocolate drink. I find that the ice chocolate drink was not as thick as Max Benner.

    Too bad I didn’t stay long in Singapore last time I was there. If I’d have stayed for more than a week and I’ve seen this post, I’ll probably be raving about those places too. Next time I visit Singapore, I’ll try to visit these places! Thanks for the info!

    I love the Chiffon Cake from Tempopo too! Unfortunately, they have change the recipe and I find it is not as soft as before. Nevertheless, I still eat it when I crave for it. And always have it on my birthday.

    totally have to agree with the Tiramisu at Da Paolo Gastronomia!!! My all-time favourite :)

    Weell, check out this place called the Long Black Cafe at 20 Biopolis Way, Centros Block. They have great set lunches and nice tiramisu too and the MUST TRY = COFFEE. However, bear in mind they are only open on weekdays and last order is at 7.30pm :)
