Your kid's cake fantasies are about to come true with these customisable 3D fondant and fresh buttercream cakes from the most talented bakers in Singapore.
Perhaps the most important item at a kid’s birthday party is the cake. Once they’ve outgrown smash cakes, they’ll want an amazing birthday cake. If you baulk at the idea of a BIY (bake-it-yourself), the answer is a customised cake decked out in your own original design and some cool cake art. And lucky, Singapore is home to some seriously talented birthday cake bakers…
Cake art in Singapore has been taken to a whole new level. Virtually anything is possible with fondant. Mini Princess Elsas, large castles, SpongeBob SquarePants characters and topsy-turvy designs are all brought to life thanks to Singapore’s crafty cake makers. But, don’t forget that buttercream can also look pretty spectacular. Read on for our round-up of bakeries and patisseries in Singapore that offer customisable, cute, quirky and cool birthday cake art worthy of that #cakestagram. We like to call this our Cake Hall of Fame…
P.S If you’re after more bite-sized treats, check out our guide to the best cupcakes in Singapore – they’re perfectly-sized sweet cake treats for children’s birthday parties, although you can never stop at just one…
