We have Bob The Builder, and we have Bob The Baker Boy who is fond of cakes, especially moist and cottony-soft cakes, which are exactly what you can look forward to when placing an order with Bob The Baker Boy.

You have probably seen Bob The Baker Boy’s customised cakes and dessert tables making their rounds on Instagram and Facebook. There are over 400 designs to choose from. And if you have any particular design in mind for your cake, you can always let the creative team know and they will make your wish come true.

That’s not all. Bob The Baker Boy also has a range of awesome bakes including mini tarts, and brownies.

Bob is our new best friend and he will be yours too when you next need a customised cake. Or tarts. Or anything sweet, really.

DEFYING GRAVITY FLOATING BEER CAN CAKE

Let’s start off with their customised cakes, shall we? They are what made Bob The Baker Boy famous, and our dear Bob deserves all the recognition for the superb hand-crafted cakes that have made birthdays memorable for countless people.

For the fickle-minded ones, you are going to be in trouble because they have hundreds of designs for you to choose from. And everything looks so cute and realistic, it’s impossible to just select one. We feel you, really. Even if you are a decisive person, the range will leave you mind-boggled, even if it’s just for a while.

Being the alcoholics we are, we eventually decided on this gravity-defying beer cake. We went with a classic flavour that will please the crowd—Belgian Chocolate cake covered with pearl sprayed vanilla buttercream, and layered with zero-added sugar chocolate custard.

The layered cake was decadent and satisfying with every bite. You know how some cakes look way better than they taste? Not for this. This looked every bit photogenic and Instagram-worthy, and tasted legit. We are already dreaming of our next customised cake by them!

STRAWBERRIES & CREAM CAKE

Adapted from the ever-so-popular strawberries shortcake, expect moist and velvety vanilla layers for this cake. Slice your fork into cake that’s fluffy like the clouds, filled with freshly whipped Chantilly and farm-picked sliced strawberries.

Money may not buy us happiness, but it can buy us Bob The Baker Boy’s Strawberries & Cream Cake and it’s about the same thing. This is one classic flavour to love, great for both young and old, and definitely one we will reorder.

BROWN SUGAR BOBA MILK CAKE

You guys, this cake is a dream come true. Imagine your favourite brown sugar boba milk, but in a cake form. That is exactly what it is—literally! Cut into fragrant vanilla cake layers, generously filled with creamy brown sugar Chantilly and sweet starchy boba fillings.

The Brown Sugar Boba Milk Cake is such a brilliant creation by Bob The Baker Boy. We love. the cottony soft and moist cake that is accompanied with fragrant brown sugar cream. And that boba filling! That chewy, sweet boba filling completed the cake with a lovely texture variety.

It is also noteworthy that Bob The Baker Boy bakes cakes with lower sugar content (30-50% lower in sugar than regular customised cakes). This is a huge plus point for us because we are the kind of people who dig into whole cakes even when it is nobody’s birthday, and we can do with something that’s significantly lesser in sugar so we do not feel as guilty for eating cakes. You feel us?

ASSORTED FOUR CHEESE TARTS

These cute little tarts are great for small parties and the kids are bound to love them. With a firm tart shell that crumbles upon sinking your teeth into it, the Brûlée Cheese Tarts (S$23.90 for 12) is our favourite flavour. Fresh cheese filling encased in fragrant vanilla tart crust, these little bites of happiness are super addictive and you simply cannot stop at one. Or two. Or three.

The other flavours to love are Strawberries Cheesecake Tarts, Cookies & Cream Mini Tarts and Blueberry Cheesecake Tarts. These are slightly stronger in terms of taste, but nothing too cheesy that non-cheese lovers can’t take.

AU NATUREL BROWNIES

Their brownies are slightly cakier and are more like cupcakes, actually. But we like that they are not cloyingly sweet. Reheat them in the microwave oven before eating.

Go on, you deserve some sweet treats. Click here to enter a whole new realm of desserts, and start customising your dream cake for that special occasion that is coming up. Or grab yourselves some molten lava cookies; we promise you won’t regret it.

They say sugar is bad for you, but how bad can it be when it tastes oh-so-good? From cheesecakes, mousse cakes and fluffy chiffons to cream-filled eclairs and choux puffs, we just simply can’t resist them!

If you have a sweet tooth that needs to be satisfied, we’ve got you covered. Here’s a comprehensive guide on the Best Patisseries in Singapore to sink your teeth into some indulgent cakes and pastries. 

ALICE BOULANGERIE

Alice Boulangerie is one cafe-cum-bakery that really left a deep impression on us. In recent times when everyone is trying to outdo one another with trends and patterns, Alice Boulangerie chose to stay classy with honest bakes – ironically, this is what we are lacking in the current climate when everyone is so caught up with fanciful and Instagrammable-everything.

Remember to save some room for desserts and pastries, because everything that comes out from Alice’s pastry team is AMAZING! You will probably need to visit Alice Boulangerie several times to try everything on the menu, but we are telling you it is very well worth the trips.

ANGELINA SINGAPORE

Originating from the capital of beautiful pastries, Paris, is Angelina. Having served legends like Coco Chanel, you know that they’re worth a visit. Singapore’s Angelina branch is a luxe tearoom serving coffee, tea and delectable pastries, located in Marina Bay Sands.

For a post-shopping treat, take a seat at Angelina to enjoy their signature Mont Blanc (S$13.50). Fluffy whipped cream and meringue is topped with sweet chestnut purée; one of the most delicate desserts you will find in Singapore.

AWFULLY CHOCOLATE

The word ‘chocolate’ has almost become synonymous with our home-grown brand – Awfully Chocolate. At least, it is so for Singaporeans. In the past few years, the brand has grown significantly with many outlets islandwide now, but one thing remains – the awesomeness of their chocolate cakes. That, we will always swear by.

BRUNETTI

Brunetti, a famous Italian Pasticceria from Australia, serves up some decadent sweet treats. They also offer options for breakfast!

The Pear and Cheese Crumble is one of our favourites – a cheesecake with poached pears, blackberry jam and a chocolate chip biscuit base. For chocolate-lovers, give their Flourless Chocolate Souffle a go. It’s a wonderful blend of dark chocolate and hazelnut bavaroise cream – super rich and delicious.

CHEF YAMASHITA

Helmed and named after the man himself, Chef Yamashita Masataka is a master in creating the most beautiful handcrafted desserts. This is one Japanese patisserie where you can indulge in cakes that will not only feed your belly but your eyes as well.

If you like a fluffier, light and airy cake, their Ichigo (meaning Strawberry in Japanese), will be right up your alley. Despite being a simple strawberry shortcake, it is one of their most popular cakes. For a more indulgent treat, try their sliced matcha roll cake. The matcha flavour is strong even with the cake and cream being so light. It’s even topped with a small ball of mochi!

CIEL PATISSERIE

Ciel Patisserie brings classic French pastry to the table but also takes inspiration from popular local flavours. With a vast array of cakes and pastry, including a gluten-free option, you will never be bored with their sweet selections.

Try their Ondeh Ondeh sliced cake – each bite is filled with the aroma of pandan and the sweet, caramelized flavour of gula Melaka. Another classic would be their Strawberry Shortcake. It is one of the best strawberry shortcakes that we’ve had in Singapore.

CREAM & CUSTARD

Cream & Custard was the patisserie that went viral on Instagram a few years back for their Watermelon Strawberry Cake and other madly instagrammable confections like their Unicorn Poop and Galaxy mirror glaze cakes.

If you haven’t tried their pretty pastries yet, we’ll definitely recommend the cake that started their hype – The Watermelon Strawberry Cake. A whole slice of fresh watermelon is sandwiched between rose-scented cream and layers of chewy almond dacquoise. It’s topped with even more fresh fruits such as strawberries, blueberries and grapes.

DULCET & STUDIO

This Japanese patisserie offers great cakes and pastries. It’s the perfect place to tuck into a sweet midday slice of chiffon (or two). We especially love their Double Cheese Chiffon Cheesecake and their Choux Puffs!

Dulcet & Studio’s cheesecake was super creamy with a slight tang, which toned down the sweetness of the cake. Their choux puffs were also chocked full of milky cream filling. They introduce new flavours of choux puffs from time to time, so expect some surprises when you visit!

FLOR PATISSERIE

You absolutely have to try Flor Patisserie’s Strawberry Souffle. Ultra light vanilla sponge is paired with airy cream filling and topped with fresh strawberries in a sweet glaze. It can be likened to eating a sweet cloud when taking a bite of this cake. One of our favourites, and it will be one of yours once you try it!

KURA

Kura offers delectable pastries at reasonable prices. Here, you can indulge in some quality cakes without breaking the bank.

You have to try their Tiramisu and their Lemon Tart. Served in an edible chocolate cup, this Tiramisu is nothing short of delicious with the rich mascarpone cream and espresso-soaked biscuit base. Their Lemon Tart was tangy, sweet and an all around pleasure to eat!

LEE’S CONFECTIONERY

Westies rejoice, for there is a patisserie for you all in Jurong! Tucked in the quiet neighbourhood of Jurong East, this minimalist café is a must-visit.

Lee’s Confectionery specializes in French pastry but they incorporate local flavours and various different textures to give your tastebuds an adventure they will never forget. Try their Puff – an earl-grey infused kaya pastry puff sandwich. We loved how the flaky puff pastry fell apart, melding together with the thick kaya.

Nesuto combines French pastry with Japanese technique, executing their pastries with wonderful flair. They specialize in minimalistic designs and flavours, allowing each component in their cakes to shine.

Out of all their pastries, their Jasmine Orient stood out the most. This all white and gold pastry is sleek, beautiful and is a wonderful meld of flavours – Jasmine-infused mousse, Mandarin Orange Confit and Matcha Fudge Sponge.

It has recently moved to a bigger space at 474 River Valley Road on 20 Feb 2021. From choux puffs to glazed cakes and croissants, Pantler has them all.

Both their founders had worked in prestigious pastry-making departments – Joel Robuchon Singapore and the Grand Hyatt in Tokyo.

One of their most satisfying desserts was their Yatsura – a signature item on their menu. The cake boasts layers of hazelnut cream, dark chocolate mousse and hazelnut feuilletine. It’s an irresistible cake and will leave you coming back for more.

Pâtisserie CLÉ is perhaps best known for its Tart Gift Box with a choice of eight tarts and you have to try the signature Orh Blanc Tart which is an interesting fusion of the French Mont Blanc dessert and the local orh nee flavour.

Established in 2012 at Millenia Walk, Patisserie G serves up French pastry classics like eclairs and Tarte Au Citron. They have a clean and minimalistic Japanese-inspired setting, perfect for a mid-day cup of coffee and a slice of cake.

Their signature pastry, the G-Spot, is aptly named for it will send your tastebuds into a whirl of pleasure once you taste the decadent dark chocolate mousse, combined with chocolate meringue.

Hidden away in the quiet streets of Kreta Ayer is the tiniest bakery – Sugar Thieves. They are still rather new, but are a strong contender in the pastry scene of Singapore, serving up various pastries and flavours of croissants.

One of their newest creations, the Avo, is a unique spin on an avocado. They use an actual avocado skin to craft this pastry, and it’s layered with chocolate sponge, avocado cheesecake mousse and topped with a macadamia nut praline ‘seed’; An eye-catching dessert that makes you do a double take when you first see it.
