Dessert aficionados, prepare your sweet tooths for a spanking new dessert spot in town on 21 October 2019, Monday!

Now Bakery stemmed from a common passion for fluffy, creamy roll cakes and they put plenty of love into each and every one their bakes. Each decadent roll cake is meticulously handcrafted using only the finest ingredients that are imported from Taiwan and Japan, so you know that you’ll only be getting the best roll cakes.

They have 3 different cake series with an extensive variety of flavours so even if you’re a picky eater, fret not as there is something for everyone!

In celebration of their new outlet at Capitol Piazza, they will be having an opening promotion from 21 October to 27 October 2019, where their roll cakes will be going for 50% off. Additionally, on 21 & 22 October 2019, they will be giving away 50 pieces of roll cakes for free from 11.30am onwards.

BLANCMANGE

Now Bakery’s Blancmange series features delicate and moist roll cakes that are each stuffed with Blancmange, a creamy milk pudding filling that has a smooth and light finish.

For those of you who enjoy the classics, we recommend that you get the Chocolate or Vanilla Blancmange cakes. Being chocolate fanatics, we absolutely adore the Chocolate Blancmange which is made with 75% cocoa. This provides the cake with a rich, chocolatey flavour that isn’t too cloying.

If you’re looking to try something a little more different, try their Sesame Blancmange cakes which are made from black sesame. The nuttiness of the sesame pairs well with the fluffiness of the roll cakes, creating a medley of flavours and textures that both the older and younger generation will love and appreciate.

An interesting flavour that will pique the interest of coffee lovers is the Gula Melaka Coffee Blancmange cakes. This classic flavour with a twist features a combination of saccharine Gula Melaka paired with aromatic premium coffee beans, producing a unique concoction that is surprisingly addictive!

Fans of matcha will be thrilled to know that there is also a Green Tea Red Bean Blancmange cake that is made using imported premium matcha powder and red bean. The earthiness of the matcha pairs pleasantly well with the sweetness of the red bean and we can see this becoming a hot favourite.

CLASSIQUE  

If you need some gift ideas for a loved one, we recommend that you get something from Now Bakery’s Classique series.

Made from a flourless recipe, their Classic Chocolate Classique cakes are incredibly rich and aromatic. They are also formulated with 75% cocoa, giving the cake just the right amount of sweetness without it being too overpowering.

The Almond Sesame Classique cake features a unique buttercream filling that is made from black sesame paste as well as almond. This winning nutty and earthy combination is definitely a treat to one’s palate!

Don’t miss out on the Almond Coffee Classique cake. Nutella is mixed with premium coffee and almonds, creating an interesting conglomeration of textures and flavours.

For something a little more old school, you can opt to get the Pandan Classique cake which is chock full of a decadent pandan filling that is made using Madagascar vanilla beans and pure pandan juice.

A savoury and unconventional option would be the Sushi Cake Roll. Here, ham, chicken floss and mayonnaise are wrapped in a layer of dense sponge cake and seaweed, creating a bizarrely good cake sushi roll that is a nice change from your regular rice sushi.

The Pound is a specialty Dutch iced coffee shop located on the first floor of Sultan Plaza. The unassuming one-month-old establishment is not your typical pretentious hipster-looking cafe, but a small bistro with a very strong focus on cold drip coffees and cake rolls.

Cold Brew Coffees are all the rage right now and we are thrilled to see a new bistro committing to serve premium Dutch Iced Coffees.

These caffeinated beverages are actually far from a passing trend; Dutch Iced Coffees have been around since before our time and have made a successful comeback over the past years in a series of renditions across cafes in Singapore.

Run by a Korean family, The Pound is go-to place for a kick ass cold brew fix (from S$4). Their limited but splendid selection of cakes are handcrafted from scratch and holy moly, they are amazingly scrumptious!

Fortunately, these dainty sweet treats are affordably priced and range from S$3 for a homemade blueberry muffin to S$4.50 for a fresh banana cake roll.

From single origin Ethiopia Limu Agaro Coffee to the smoky Disco Signature Blend, the number of beans and blends here is evidently extensive. If a single portion is not enough, then why not purchase a 300ml or 500ml bottle of Dutch Iced Coffee at S$15 and S$24 respectively.

While no main courses are served at The Pound, we would still highly recommend you save some stomach space for their heavenly Strawberry Roll Cake (S$4.50). The airy vanilla sponge cake roll is stuffed with fresh light whipped cream and a plump bright red juicy strawberry.
