2. 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, 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.
Edith Patisserie, available online and at multiple locations include Outram Road and Penang Road
3. Cakebar
You’ll fall in love with the cakes from Cakebar. The cakes come in uber punchy flavours, with clean and simplistic aesthetics. You can get typical round whole cakes, but if you love a variety, get an assortment of single-serve cakes. Top tip: try the signature kori lemon cake made with fresh lemon juice and zest. The tangy flavour combined with creamy frosting and crunchy toppings will be a textural delight.
Cakebar, available online and at multiple locations including Palais Renaissance and One Holland Village
4. Lady M
Tired of thick, heavy birthday cakes and crave something a little lighter? The signature Mille Crêpe Cake from Lady M Confection is exactly what you’re looking for. The cake is made by stacking twenty layers of paper-thin crêpes with mild, delicately flavoured cream sandwiched in between. Plus, the boutique offers chocolate, pistachio and green tea versions, as well as creations like strawberry shortcake and vegan chocolate tart.
Lady M, available online and at multiple locations including Orchard Central and Jewel Changi Airport
5. The Durian Bakery
Searching for a cake to surprise a durian-loving friend or family member? Look to The Durian Bakery for the best picks. This local bakery promises the richest durian-infused bakes, made with its signature Grade A Mao Shan Wang durian puree for a rich, creamy flavour. You can’t go wrong with the classic Mao Shan Wang durian cake. Crafted with light and airy vanilla sponge, the cake features a Mao Shan Wang core, topped with fresh Hokkaido whipped cream and white chocolate for a decadent bite.
Alternatively, go for a less traditional option like the Mao Shan Wang durian mille crepe cake, layered with thick durian puree in between handmade crepe slices. Textured and creamy, this cake offers a delectable experience. Plus, The Durian Bakery’s cakes are freshly baked daily with no preservatives, so you know you’re getting only the best. Add birthday accessories like a ‘happy birthday’ topper and a personalised greeting card and you’re good to go. The team bakes limited cakes daily, so get your orders in fast. Need a cake in a hurry? Place your pre-order 30 minutes in advance to enjoy same-day express delivery!

6. Patisserie Cle
Sweeten the celebrations with cakes that look as good as they taste. This French bakery dishes out a selection of handcrafted cakes with rich, creamy fillings and drool-worthy flavour combinations. Go for the sesame matcha cake, a unique blend of rich Uji matcha ganache, crunchy sesame tuile and soft sesame sponge cake; or the Noisette, a classic indulgent chocolate cake. And take it from us, the All Pistachio cake will capture the heart of any pistachio lover.

We can’t get over the perfectly decorated cakes at Creme Maison. The skillfully piped icing on top of smoothly frosted cakes makes for the perfect centrepiece at your birthday dessert table. Get the orange milk chocolate fudge cake for a citrusy touch to a decadent dessert. Or go with the Kyoto matcha strawberry cake. Either way, it’ll be a delicious piece of art. Don’t be surprised if your guests start asking where you got your cake from.

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-friendly, 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.

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

Plus, they can be kept in the fridge for up to three days (great for advance planning). Just don’t forget to take it out of the fridge to defrost half an hour before serving!

11. Baker’s Brew
Ah, so many choices! It’s a good problem to have when you’re planning to order a cake. Countless flavours aside, we love how Baker’s Brew takes various trends in its stride. Case in point: the strawberry speculoos cake, classic Basque cheesecake and yoghurt cakes. Oh, and there’s even cake customisation services if you’re up for a bespoke gift.
Baker’s Brew, available online and at multiple locations including Tampines Mall and Great World City
12. Bloomsbury Bakers
We love the usual chocolate, Earl Grey, and strawberry shortcake options. But what sets Bloomsbury Bakers apart from its contemporaries is the local flavours. Forks out for orh nee (yam), honey calamansi pineapple and ondeh ondeh cakes.
Bloomsbury Bakers, available online and at #01-889, Bendemeer Ville, 30 Bendemeer Road, Singapore 330030
13. Lisse Cakes
Lisse Cakes are baked to perfection. Think soft and moist sponge in the middle, layered with a delish filling made in-house and coated beautifully with frosting. Gourmet cake flavours include salted caramel, Earl Grey lavender and red velvet Nutella. Topped with sweet goodies and smooth frosting, it’s a work of art you get to eat.

14. Fieldnotes
If you’re all about lush botanical and dreamy whimsical vibes, the creators from Fieldnotes (previously Zee & Elle) are right up your alley. These cakes are far from average. In fact, they look like they’ve been taken right out of a garden-themed birthday celebration. We’ve got our mind set on the Uji matcha strawberry cake and guava lychee cake. You can even add on cake toppers, novelty candles and birthday cards to go along with it!
Fieldnotes, available online and at multiple locations including Neil Road and The Woodleigh Mall
15. 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%.

This halal bakery offers a splash of local delights like cakes with pandan and gula melaka. Not your birthday? Treat yourself to a box of red velvet and salted caramel cupcakes. The must-try in our opinion? The crunchy sea salt chocolate chip cookies. Best to visit before lunch to avoid leaving empty-handed.

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 online and at multiple locations including Kind Kones and Food Folks (for self-collection only)
25. Monice Bakes

The flavours range from classics like chocolate and vanilla to premium matcha, mocha and Earl Grey picks. Oh, and don’t forget to add fillings. We say go for Nutella, fresh sliced strawberries or coffee cream.
Monice Bakes, available online 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. The shop, which is named after a stop on London’s Northern Tube Line, started with just two flavours. Today, Chalk Farm offers over 20 options including local flavours such as pandan chiffon and burnt durian cheesecake. 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 online and at 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. There’s no fixed menu so look out for the line-up which rotates on a weekly basis. Previous tasting boxes feature flavours like matcha, kinako and Earl Grey. Plus, you’ll get to try a bit of everything from financiers to dacquoises and caneles. We also love that 10% of the profits are donated to animal shelters in Singapore.
