Recently my aunt got married ( finally ) and she had a simple wedding ceremony. However being a food expert, she ordered a huge box of cakes for each of her sisters present. The sweet delicacies included chocolate fudge, coffee, cheesecake and strawberry. They were very good - in fact a close competitor of Bakerzin's!

I do not know the price, but I reckon they do not come cheap. The name of the bakery is Canelé Pâtisserie Chocolaterie, a sister of the Les Amis chain of French restaurants. So you can be sure that the cake you are buying is no ordinary one. Here is the bakery's website: http://lesamis.com.sg/webtop/canele/

If you are looking for other quality cakes but at a cheaper price, check out the Deli at Goodwood Park Hotel. This cake counter is most famous for its lineup of durian delicacies like cakes, puffs and puddings. However I am never a fan of the 'king of fruits', and was more mesmerized by the blackforest cake. It certainly is like no other - the chocolate is just right, and it melts in your mouth. No, not M&Ms. However they could be a little more generous with the blueberries.

If you are wondering why I am recommending a hotel deli as a cheaper alternative, here is the answer. The deli has a 50% discount on all cakes on weekdays after 8pm. Many people already know of this promotion, so if you do not want your favourite cake to become someone else's dessert, then be early. Do not be surprised to find 'vultures' already waiting before the hour.

This is absolutely true! I know most of the articles here are half-accurate, but this is no bluff and I shall take full responsibility for my food report!
