Epicurean tarts, limited edition desserts, and a grand three-day celebration… Sands for Singapore Charity Festival 2025 is back sweeter than ever for its 11th edition!
Can’t say no to buttery tarts, fluffy cupcakes and decadent cheesecakes? Sweet tooths, you’ll want in on Marina Bay Sands’ sweetest collaboration yet. Back for its 11th year, the annual Sands for Singapore Charity Festival 2025 spotlights sweet treats for meaningful causes. From limited edition desserts to a grand three-day celebration at the Event Plaza, here’s how you can do good from now till 7 September 2025!
Bag home an artisanal dessert box for charity
Meet The Sweet Collective, an epicurean dessert box featuring four handcrafted tarts from Marina Bay Sands’ signature restaurants. Each creation is an ode to the unique culinary flair of the restaurants. Priced at $45 per box, all proceeds go towards supporting vocational training for adults with special needs at the APSN Centre for Adults.
We’ve had a chance to savour these tarts, so trust us when we say they taste as good as they look. Our top picks go to WAKUDA’s cheesecake tart with Japanese rice paper (think creamy, smooth Basque cheesecake with well-balanced sweetness), and Maison Boulud’s chocolate buckwheat tart that blends salted caramel, decadent chocolate and toasted buckwheat. Delish!
Prefer fruity and zestier flavours? The sakura cerise almond tart by Origin + Bloom, and CUT’s pistachio tart with tangy raspberry jam will be up your alley.
Pre-orders are available from now till 25 August 2025, so head to The Sweet Collective’s online order form The Sweet Collective’s online order form to get first dibs. Psst: limited quantities will also be available at the Event Plaza from 5 to 7 September 2025 – just keep an eye out for the Origin + Bloom wagon!
Savour limited edition desserts at selected restaurants
Having dinner at Marina Bay Sands? Don’t forget to order the desserts offered at participating restaurants. And yes, all sales proceeds go to the APSN Centre for Adults, too.
From now till 7 September 2025, dine at participating restaurants (including estiatorio Milos, KOMA, Maison Boulud, Mott 32, Spago, WAKUDA Restaurant & Bar, and Yardbird Southern Table & Bar) and savour selected desserts in support of Sands for Singapore Charity Festival 2025.
If you only have room for a few, we recommend trying the desserts specially created for the Festival. Head to Maison Boulud for the chocolate peanut turron ($16) made of caramelised peanuts and milk chocolate crémeux, paired with velvety turron ice cream; Yardbird for the maple bacon cupcake ($12) topped with smoky bacon-infused frosting and crisp candied bacon; and Spago’s Spikey Lemon ($24), a lemon-shaped creation made with white chocolate lemon mousse, lemon curd and lemon confit in an Amalfi cake.
Save the date for the grand celebration

It is located at the Marina Bay waterfront outside The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands. Shop at a sprawling social marketplace, savour gourmet treats and drinks, and join a life-sized digital game – all for a good cause!
The well-loved Giving Marketplace returns with a curated range of lifestyle products, handicrafts and baked goods, with every purchase giving back to non-profits, social enterprises and small businesses.

In partnership with The Food Bank Singapore, Marina Bay Sands will pledge a food bundle for every successful gameplay.
Feeling peckish? Head to the gourmet pop-ups for a quick bite, with proceeds supporting displaced families with temporary housing through AWWA’s transitional shelter programme. Our top picks include juicy burgers and glorious milkshakes from Black Tap, local hawker delicacies from RISE, as well as Origin + Bloom’s festival-exclusive seafood gratin and truffle chicken cruffin.
