2. Plain Vanilla
Since its inception in 2011, this homegrown bakery has been one of our go-tos for cupcakes and classic bakes. That’s why we were so excited to check out its new celebration cake range, created by the team after months of recipe tests and refinement. Try well-loved flavours like Strawberry Shortcake, Black Forest and Raspberry Violet Cheesecake as well as their seasonal specials, each made to order from scratch using top-notch ingredients like Valrhona chocolate.

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 bar cakes or 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, multiple locations including Palais Renaissance and Holland Piazza
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 for delivery 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? Same-day cake delivery in two hours is available, too!

Touted as one of the top fruit arrangement specialists in Singapore, prepare to wow your guests with one-of-a-kind cake alternatives. Yup, these aren’t your ordinary cakes. Select from a variety of edible gift boxes, fresh fruit towers decked in adorable designs and chocolate piñata cake hearts (with smashable cake alternatives for some fun). We’ve got a soft spot for the watermelon cake with fresh fruits, a healthy alternative that’s totally Instagram-worthy too. Sizes come in petite, two-tiers and three-tiers with an array of fresh strawberries, black figs, grapes, blackberries and blueberries. Islandwide delivery is available at a flat rate of $20. Sweet!
Rainbowly, available online
7. Creme Maison Bakery
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 hojicha and chrysanthemum mochi 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.

8. Delcie’s Desserts and Cakes
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.
Delcie’s Desserts and Cakes, available for delivery and at #01-83, 34 Whampoa West, Singapore 330034
9. Nesuto
We love the intricately crafted cakes at Nesuto. Expect artisanal quality bakes made with premium French butter and cream. Its signature selection features fab flavours such as decadent dark chocolate and yuzu raspberry. The cakes are also partially blast-frozen before delivery to maintain optimum integrity and quality. 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!
Nesuto, available for delivery and at multiple locations including Tanjong Pagar and Jewel Changi Airport
10. 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 a six-in-one cake bundle (featuring the bestsellers) to fix your sugar cravings.
Baker’s Brew, available for delivery and at multiple locations including Paragon and Great World City
11. 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 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
12. 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 coconut raspberry, earl grey lavender and red velvet Nutella. Topped with sweet goodies and smooth frosting, it’s a work of art you get to eat.
Lisse Cakes, available for delivery
13. 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 even birthday cards to go along with it!
Fieldnotes, available for delivery and at 524 Macpherson Road, Singapore 368215
14. 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).
Bob The Baker Boy, #05-06, Xpace @ 218, 218 Pandan Loop, Singapore 128408
15. Fluff Bakery
You don’t need to hit up Google maps to locate this bakery. Just look for the shop with a long queue and you’re there. 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.

We’ve talked about cakes that look too good to eat but this just takes the… cake. Ever seen edible art? Trust us, you’ll find something here. The freestyle abstract painting, Peranakan-inspired and floral buttercream cakes are masterpieces. And don’t expect to find your basic flavours here. Cupplets takes it up a couple of notches with flavours like lychee rose, raspberry red velvet, lemon lavender, and chocolate earl grey.

18. Cake Spade
Cake Spade’s phenomenal selection of baked treats might leave your head spinning. So we’ll go ahead and recommend its most interesting creation: tofu cheesecake.

20. The Ugly Cake Shop
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
21. 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 for delivery and at multiple locations include Outram Road and Penang Road
22. Cat and The Fiddle
Birthday boys and girls who prefer creamy cheesecakes have a smorgasbord of options to pick from here.

Opt for a Fickle Feline platter that includes 10 different slices of cheesecake.
Cat and The Fiddle, available for delivery and at multiple locations including Clarke Quay and Junction 8
23. All Things Delicious
Founder of All Things Delicious, Imelda Wadhwa, puts together creative confections done the old-fashioned way. What does this mean? Organic unrefined sugar and no artificial flavourings, trans fat or high-fructose corn syrup. Crowd-pleasing favourites include sea salt caramel chocolate, raspberry pistachio and gula melaka cake. Want something out of the ordinary? Try the lemon rosemary olive oil cake for soft, pudding-like texture and a comforting hint of rosemary.
All Things Delicious, available for delivery and at #01-01, 34 Arab Street, Singapore 199733
24. 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, Aliwal Arts Centre, 28 Aliwal Street, Singapore 199918
25. 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
26. Monice Bakes
Looking for a customised cake? Hit up Monice Bakes. From adorable 3D cakes for the little ones to elegant cakes for weddings, there’s plenty to pick from. 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 for delivery and at The Clearwater, 6 Bedok Reservoir View, Singapore 479234
27. 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 for delivery multiple locations including Paragon and Parkway Parade
28. 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.
Gaily Bakes, available for delivery only
