Are dietary restrictions or preferences a concern? Take a gander at Delcie’s for a selection of gluten-free cakes and bakes. Choose from a myriad of diabetic-, keto- and dairy-free cakes. They don’t compromise on flavour and are guaranteed to satisfy your sweet tooth. If you’ve got chocoholics in the house, we recommend ordering the decadent fudge brownie. (Psst: there are vegan and gluten-free options for this too!) Otherwise, try one of its fruitier numbers like the strawberry cheesecake.

We love the intricately crafted cakes at Nesuto. Expect artisanal quality bakes made with premium French butter and cream.

Baker’s Brew, available for delivery and at multiple locations including Paragon and Great World City
10. Bloomsbury Bakers
We love the usual Earl Grey, cheesecake, rum and raisin and strawberry shortcake options. But what sets Bloomsbury Bakers apart from its contemporaries is the local flavours. Forks out for pulut hitam, orh nee (yam), honey calamansi pineapple and ondeh ondeh cakes.
Bloomsbury Bakers, available for delivery and at #01-889, 30 Bendemeer Road, Singapore 330030

If you’re all about lush botanical and dreamy whimsical vibes, the creators from Zee & Elle are right up your alley. These cakes are far from average.

Zee & Elle, available for delivery and at 524 Macpherson Road, Singapore 368215
13. Bob The Baker Boy
Those looking for low sugar and healthy cake options, Bob the Baker Boy is here to save the day. These folks may use 50% less sugar than regular cakes but the flavour and look are always 100%. Add some pizazz to the cakes with fun designs from the fancy standard cake options. FYI: We’ve got eyes on the divine Belgian Chocolate Cake (pictured above).

Don’t let the name fool you. The Ugly Cake Shop whips up some of the best birthday cakes we’ve ever seen. Like the ombre one with its beautiful shades of pastel colours and rose-patterned icing. If fancy frosting isn’t your thing, you’ll be happy to know that you can choose from a range of interesting cake flavours like salted caramel and the decadent peanut butter and dark chocolate. What’s more, the cakes are for a cause; part of the profit goes towards feeding hungry children in Timor Leste. Score good karma points this b-day!
The Ugly Cake Shop, available for delivery and at #01-06, GB Point, 535 Kallang Bahru, Singapore 339351
20. Edith Patisserie
A chance encounter between two pastry aficionados at culinary school led to this small home-style bakery that whips up some of the best birthday cakes in Singapore. Think yuzu osmanthus, black sesame, cookie dough speculoos chocolate, and gluten-free pandan coconut cakes. The bakers even do a boozy gin and tonic creation if you want to mix things up a bit.

All Things Delicious, available for delivery and at #01-01, 34 Arab Street, Singapore 199733
23. The Fabulous Baker Boy
Cakes here are, indeed, fabulous. What stands out to us is the cakes named after divas. For fans of Queen B herself, the Beyonce packs a punch with a lemonade-inspired flavour, blending lemon and yogurt in a sponge cake. The style of cake decor is also minimalistic – perfect for small and intimate birthday celebrations. You can now enjoy its bakes along with a classic brunch menu at Aliwal Arts Centre in Kampong Glam.
The Fabulous Baker Boy, available for delivery and at #01-01, 28 Aliwal Street, Singapore 199918
24. Roa
This cake shop wins our hearts for being the most decadent. It’s taken the classic chocolate cake and elevated it with rich dark chocolate ganache and moist (not always an iffy word!) chocolate sponge. The icing on top? These eggless cakes are also vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free. Avocados, brown rice milk and psyllium husk are used to create a fluffy, mousse-like texture. No wonder its moniker means calm in Icelandic. A bite of this might just make us forget our problems for a second. The Midnight chocolate flavour is also available in cupcakes and in a petite size.
Roa, available for delivery and at #04-05, Innovate360 Building, 9 Chin Bee Drive, Singapore 619860

We say go for Nutella, fresh sliced strawberries or coffee cream.
Monice Bakes, available for delivery and at The Clearwater, 6 Bedok Reservoir View, Singapore 479234
26. Chalk Farm
If you’re floored by the utter elegance of the cakes at Chalk Farm, wait till you actually try them.

And we can’t forget the wildly-popular chocolate Guinness cake, along with classics like rum butterscotch bundt, espresso meringue and salted caramel red velvet.
Chalk Farm, available for delivery multiple locations including Paragon and Parkway Parade
27. Gaily Bakes
Gaily Bakes perfectly combines the chewy texture of mochi with classic favourites like brownies and bundt cakes. Try the decadent mochi brownies or get your forks out for pillowy mochi bundtlettes. Look out for weekly specials which rotate regularly! Fancy trying a bit of everything? Go for a sampler like the Matcha Tasting Box, which gives you matcha flavoured versions of the signature bakes. We also love that 10% of the profits are donated to animal shelters in Singapore.
