Cupcake joints serving pretty cakes


Why are cupcakes so flippin’ popular? They’re easy and fun to make, and there are many flavours to choose from. Singapore is no stranger to her share of cupcakeries, from those selling elaborate designs to the more traditional kueh-inspired bakes. Here are eight cupcake joints in Singapore dishing out treats that are good for a midday snack or for celebrations.


1. Lamb Cupcakery

Lamb Cupcakery’s display is a wonderland for cupcake fiends. Rows and rows of colourful cupcakes are sure to have anyone throw their diet out the window. You won’t be leaving with just one, so jump into the rabbit hole and go for their assorted half dozen ($24) or dozen ($45). Favourites include the Chocolate Salted Caramel, Vanilla Hazelnut Chocolate, and Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla that hides a Nutella ganache below its ample topping of caramelised hazelnuts. The Mango Coconut offers a more refreshing flavour, with fresh mango curd in the centre.

She even sells old-school kueh, some of which are almost impossible to find in this day and age, on the side. You’ll not regret making space for her Talam Jagong Durian ($3).
