Taking residency at Baker X next is YouKneadCakes (@youkneadcakes). From 4 to 31 May, look forward to pound cakes, madeleines, cookies and more from the “small batch bakery from home”.
Ng Yu Feng is the founder and baker behind YouKneadCakes, a charming home-based bakery that emerged during the Covid-19 circuit breaker in 2020. Initially conceived as a weekend project Yu Feng managed alongside the demands of her profession as an engineer, YouKneadCakes has blossomed into a full-time venture. Yu Feng made the bold decision to leave her engineering career in September 2023 to fully devote herself to the bakery, with dreams of eventually opening her own café.
Beyond online bake sales, YouKneadCakes also caters to a variety of occasions – ranging from intimate gatherings to grand celebrations – with extensively customised orders, thoughtfully tailored to each patron’s unique needs. All baked goods are meticulously made from scratch, with a commitment to freshness and flavour.
