2. Creme Maison

While you might know it for its picture-perfect customised cakes, Creme Maison also churns out quality cupcakes made with the finest and freshest ingredients. Just check out these adorable terrarium-inspired ones pictured above! It has its share of classic flavours, but we love ordering the citrus berry vitamin C cupcake box. These contain cupcakes packed full of vitamin C from fresh fruits cooked into chunky jams. It even does gender reveal cupcakes if you’re having a baby and want to surprise your friends and family.

4. Fluff Bakery

The name doesn’t lie: this halal-certified bakery has been delivering confections that are delightfully fluffy and sinfully delicious since 2013. Many will agree that these bad boys are so popular, they sell out as soon as they hit the shelves. Get in quick to nab some of the most original flavours – you can’t go wrong with the luscious Nutella red velvet or locally-inspired ones such as triple Milo, bandung and ondeh ondeh. Top tip: check out Fluff’s Instagram page before heading over to find out the weekly specials and cupcake availability.

5. Spatula Bakery
Believing that food should look as good as it tastes, this bakery whips up exceptional cupcakes and other baked goods such as cakes and macarons. Stuffed from brunch? Get the mini cupcakes to share for a light, (sort of) guilt-free dessert.

6. Plain Vanilla

What started out as a quaint little takeaway bakery in Holland Village has since become a household name. Plain Vanilla prides itself in sticking to classic age-old recipes and using quality ingredients. As a result, you get light, fluffy cupcakes that pack a punch. Delectable flavours worth trying include the classic red velvet and cinnamon brown sugar. But, without a doubt, our top pick goes to the beautifully perfumed Earl Grey lavender.

7. The Marmalade Pantry
The Marmalade Pantry is synonymous with brunch fare, but you shouldn’t miss out on its decadent cupcakes. The range veers from classic to unique, including flavours like red velvet, s’mores, raspberry swirl cheesecake (with graham cracker cookies and raspberry coulis), and cloud nine, which features white coconut and cream cheese. Fans of frosting may find the icing a little on the thin side, but hey, our diets aren’t complaining.

8. Swirls Bake Shop

A cupcake bakery that boasts 101 flavours? We’re fans already. With different creations rotating every month, the shop whips up American-style cupcakes that are fresh, dense and moist with saccharine-sweet frosting. We especially love that they come in three different proportions: bite-sized, regular and colossal.

9. The Cake Shop
Regular, old-fashioned cupcakes aren’t meeting your expectations? Add a little razzle-dazzle to your dessert table by choosing edible 3D whimsical fondant atop each cupcake. Warning: they may be too cute to eat!

10. Little House of Dreams

The inspiration for Little House of Dreams? New York’s famed Magnolia Bakery. ‘Nuff said! But in all seriousness, the cafe is uber-chic and we give it brownie points for its hip location: Tiong Bahru. The desserts, especially the cupcakes, are a must-try. Think delicately frosted playful designs in pastel hues.

11. River Ash Bakery
This bakery knows exactly how to spruce up your bash with its rainbow swirls of frosting and floral-themed cupcakes. Oh, and those who want a cohesive concept for your party can opt for a bundle deal consisting of one cake and half a dozen cupcakes – all in the same theme.
