Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most popular birthday cake flavours in Singapore?
All-time classics include chocolate fudge, red velvet, and good ol’ vanilla. Many Singaporean bakeries also offer local-inspired flavours, like ondeh ondeh, salted caramel and Earl Grey lavender, to cater to local tastes.
What size birthday cake should I order for my party?
This depends on your number of guests. A six-inch cake typically serves five to eight people, an eight-inch cake serves 10 to 15, and a 10-inch cake serves 20 to 25. For larger parties, consider ordering tiered cakes or multiple smaller cakes to ensure everyone gets a slice.
How far in advance do I need to order a custom birthday cake?
The lead time for custom birthday cakes varies for different bakeries. While some offer same-day or last-minute options, most bakeries require at least a five to seven-day notice to accommodate your design, flavour requests and production schedule.
What is the difference between a buttercream and a fondant cake?
Buttercream is a rich, creamy frosting that's popular for its flavour and soft texture. It's often used for classic or rustic designs. Meanwhile, fondant is a smooth, sugar-based paste that creates a sleek finish, which is ideal for intricate or sculptural cake designs. While fondant is great for visuals, we find buttercream tastier!
How do I properly store a birthday cake after it has been delivered?
In Singapore's humid climate, most cakes should be refrigerated in an airtight container or their original box to maintain freshness. Tip: for best flavour and texture, let the cake sit at room temperature for about 15 to 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting and cake to soften slightly.
Which is the best birthday cake shop in Singapore?
Some of the best birthday cake shops in Singapore include Bloomsbury Bakers for custom designs, Yanagi Cakes for Japanese-style bakes, and Cat and The Fiddle for a wide range of flavours and island-wide delivery. See our full list above for detailed reviews of each shop.
Where can I order a birthday cake in Singapore for same-day delivery?
Several cake shops in Singapore offer same-day or next-day delivery. Cat and The Fiddle, Baker's Brew and My Bake Studio are popular options. Always confirm availability directly with the shop, especially on weekends and public holidays.
What are the best cakes in Singapore for celebrations?
Beyond birthday cakes, Singapore has excellent options for all celebrations. Roa and Atipico are known for elegant, minimalist designs, while Sooperlicious and Twobakeboys offer more whimsical, statement creations. For something indulgent, Nesuto is a perennial crowd favourite.
