hazel: yeah i’m a westie too. haha. even tho i think bakerzin’s macarons are not as good as some others which i have tried, but they are definitely much much better than bread talk. so cant compare it that way. haha. and i still stand by my belief that bakerzin are good for their desserts, the main course really fails to attract me. but yeah, i agree on the new flavours. haha

layla: lol! you ate 3? omg. haha. they have the macacrons promotion now till end of feb, so you can eat as many as you want. haha

lauren: wow thanks for the tip, sembawang eh? haha. kind of far, i try to make it since you highly recommend it : )

Loved the cakes from Bakerzin, it was very good. However, i’ve found a french bakery that sells deliciously nice dessert!!! It’s fondant paradiz, a chocolate fudge with chocolate ganache in it (melts in ur mouth) yummy!!it costs only $4.80, apparently cheaper as compared to the bargain from anywhere else!! It also comes with blueberry filling for blueberry lovers.. n it’s cakes and mini french pastries are vv nice too!! Love it!!
I;ve been to the shop a few times without getting sick of it. The ‘Caroline’ cake is yum yum too!! It;s a choc cake with choc mousse in it topped with a special cream puff on top!! V indulging choc n unique cream in the puff!! I thk it’s a muz go places for dessert lovers..The shop has a very nice, westernised, old bakery decor too!!!

location: sembawang shopping centre,

Yeap, so r u also westie?

Just visited Bakerzin again yesterday in Wisma. It was another round of fantastic experience. I m so happy that there is a promotion of a pack of 6 macaroons for just $5!!!! Which means each macaroons is just around 75cents which is cheaper than BreadTALK. We have ordered 2 sets lunch, 2 packs of macaroons, SUmatra, Ambrosia which cost us a total of $60. I feel that is worth it. I always love the idea of the marriage between banana and cake.

Compared to jurong point outlets, the selected main course in e set lunch in Wisma is a total disappointment. The ham and chesse pizza is the most horrible pizza I have ever eaten. I dislike the concept of adding puff in pizza which transform pizza to a biscuit.

I hope that in future, bakerzin can add in more variety of cakes e.g. Champagne Cake from Swiss Bake. I LOVE CHAMPAGNE!!!!! Yeah…..My family is also a wine lover. =)

hazel: hahaha yeah i saw their outlet when i went to JP that time. i presume you are a westie too! haha

fen: wow how did you know one?

sherxr: haha no worries man! But i don’t like the cherries within, can we do a black forest cake without any cherries? lol

My mistake, the original Schwarzwalder kirschtorte is not filled with Maraschino Cherries but with Morello cherries (dark pitted cherries).

I guess the Joconde addition to the recipe evolves from the french influence. The original calls for Chocolate Sponge Cake (Vanilla flavoured).

Maraschino cherries are only for decoration for the top of the cake.

And yes, Kirshwasser (“wasser” is similar to many european liquours “Eau de vie”, “Schnapps” or “Brandy”) is the liquour made from sour cherries (yes you can get sweet cherries which only makes a difference in Central and Eastern European region).

There… the original Schwarzwalder (Schwarzwald is the Black Forest region in Germany known for their Cuckoo clocks) Kirschtorte!

Chocolate Amer was the first desert I have been tasted in Bakerzin. It is fabulous. I have also tried agolio sphagetti which is also very delicious and not too oily. I m looking forwards to purchase their macaroons that r now under $1 promotion!!!! Whenever I wan to buy macaroons, they r always out of stock!!?!! =) Will visit them again.

I’m not a cheese, but a chocolate person! I love the Chocolate Amer, so much! =) And yes, the warm chocolate cake too. To have warm chocolate and cold ice cream in one’s mouth is totally amazing!

By: layla

layla — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 05:28:16 +0000

yes the warm chocolate cake!! i found the promo price totally worth my money. heh heh. better than some cakes that were priced normally. i rather go for this one. but the promo is over!!

Finally, the entry is up. I can tell that you have lots of entries queuing to be published… I saw the City Kid’s link on facebook and I thought it was the second part to the New Year special… Was a sweet surprise to see desserts entry…

Nice close-ups of the place and cakes…

Glad you like the fraisier, I am always so stressed when suggesting places to go for desserts… As for the strawberry shortcake, we share the same preference of BakerZin over Canele.

Like your analogy of marriage and 3rd party in the context of Ambrosia… It just says it all though some viewed it as a perfect harmony…

Hopefully, this will change your opinion of BakerZin… Their main course is not too bad but I can’t stand the belacan smell in the cafe…

sherxr: Bakerzin’s foret noir’s sponge base is made of cocoa jaconde, a cocoa almond sponge which is a quite common base for blackforest cakes. The cherries are soaked in Kirschwasser or otherwise known as cherry brandy.

Hi! Just passing by.
I’m a little shocked by how expensive the cakes are relative to the cost!

I’m also puzzled as to why the Foret Noir cake (Schwarzwalde Torte) is made with Almonds??? And the Cherries are soaked in Brandy instead of Maraschino??? Oh gosh…

Sorry just a patissier’s habit when we see people adding twists to traditional cakes.

Anyway, lovely pictures. You sure did justice to the pretty little cakes!
