10 Prettiest Cakes That Should Try Joining Miss Singapore

Pretty cakes you might not bear to eat

I have to admit, as much as I enjoy scrolling through Instagram feeds of models and celebrities, there’s something extra satisfying about looking at gorgeous baked goods online. The culinary skill and creative eye needed to produce such beautiful cakes never cease to amaze me. Thankfully, these surreal desserts don’t only exist online. Here is a list of some of the prettiest cakes you can get your hands on, created by Singapore’s very own bakers.

1. Edith Patisserie

Edith Patisserie specialises in layered cakes for all types of celebrations, and their intricate designs are done by a small team of bakers. This Two-Tier Silver Ombre with Caspier (from $200) is the perfect example. Though it has an unconventional grey colour scheme that is rarely used in ombre-style cakes, it manages to look refined nonetheless. Flowers, silver leaves and sugar pearls serve as gorgeous finishing touches. Edith Patisserie is also known for unique flavours, such as Kopi Gula Melaka, Houjicha and Earl Grey Lavender.

Helmed by Sarah Khaw, who used to run the cafe Maple & Market, Sarah’s Loft is a go-to for stunning cakes. They have a series of rustic cakes that look like they belong in another time – in a good way. Little details such as fresh fruits, flowers and herbs complete the look of each cake. Whenever I scroll through her Instagram feed, I feel like everything on it could be part of a woodland fairytale, especially when she and her team meticulously style dessert tables to fit the theme of their customised cakes. Prices range from $100 to $140 for an 8-inch cake.

One of the few things that can beat a bouquet of fresh roses is a bouquet of buttercream flowers from Bakederella. Their cakes are decorated with various blooms that they carefully pipe petal by petal. The slightly muted colours and fullness of the buttercream blooms make each cake look like an actual bouquet. These Buttercream Flower Cakes ($146 for the cake above) are perfect to order for romantic occasions and birthdays!

Instead of soft pastels, their Dapper Cakes Collection features bold colours like blue, black and gold to amp up the wow-factor of these cakes. Prices range from $100 to $130 for a 1.5kg cake.
