On the never-ending quest for the best birthday cakes in Singapore, we’ve rounded up unicorn cakes, halal cakes, ice cream cakes, birthday cakes with names, and much more!
Got a birthday party coming up, mama? Whether it’s for one of your discerning kiddos or something a bit more adult, there’s a huge range of birthday cakes in Singapore to choose from. We’ve separated the wheat from the chaff (or the eggs from the flour, as the case may be) to highlight some of our personal faves. Bear in mind that this list is not exhaustive, in fact, there are loads of home bakers across the island (many of them hard-working mamas) who can hook you up.
Butter Studio
The team at Butter Studio put a local and playful spin on familiar home-style bakes, taking inspiration from their grandmothers’ recipes to create photo-worthy bakes that will make every birthday celebration picture perfect! From their award-winning Salted Caramel Red Velvet Cake to the fun Netflix and Chill Cake, all their bakes are Halal-certified and made less sweet, without artificial preservatives or stabilisers. We love their range of celebratory cupcakes and themed cakes perfect for the little ones and the young at heart! You can even choose from a menu of predesigned custom cakes that are readily available on their webstore if you’re time-pressed! Store pickups and island-wide delivery available.
Multiple locations: Takashimaya B2 Food Hall, Bugis Junction (#01-61), Tampines Mall (#B1-K8), www.thebutterstudio.com
Bob the Baker Boy
Bob the Baker Boy is fond of moist and cottony-soft cakes and he wants everyone to enjoy them. Bob the Baker Boy is actually a persona created by the founder, MayEe, and sets the stage for everyone to indulge in her favourite recipes using real ingredients. They only use the highest quality European Butter, 55% chocolate couverture, and baskets worth of berries. Bob the Baker Boy’s cakes are also 30-50% lower in sugar than regular customised cakes! Their addictive sides include Molten Lava cookies, Molten Basque Cheesecake, and an assortment of mini pastries that everyone can try. Choose from their extensive menu of custom money pulling cakes (with over 400 past designs, Bob the Baker Boy can accommodate any request!), Instagrammable oozy Molten Lava cookies, or even try their bestselling flavours – recommendations include Belgian Chocolate and Honey Yuzu with Nata De Coco.

aBiteSG
This jack-of-all-trades event planning group does everything from conceptualising dreamy parties to creating gorgeous cakes. They can accommodate pretty much any cake design request (we’ve seen cool Paw Patrol cakes, whimsical mermaid cakes, and even modern ‘tribal’ cakes for seriously hip kiddos!), all freshly baked in their NEA-approved kitchen located at Duxton Hill!

Bakers Brew STudio
Pick up a stunning birthday cake at one of the four Bakers Brew outlets, and why not book in for a baking class while you’re at it? They offer islandwide delivery for just $15, but you’ll need to put in your order three days in advance.

Tel: (+65) 9004 7233, www.bakersbrew.com
Caked by Seraphina
We met mama Seraphina at a wedding recently (she made the cake – with pandan and chocolate raspberry layers – and it was totally YUMMO!). She launched her business last year to balance her passion for baking with being at home with her two daughters. Not only can Seraphina take any challenge you throw at her – delicate flowers, intricate piping, moulded fondant – but her cake flavours go way beyond your basic chocolate and vanilla. Some of her 21 flavours on offer include White Chocolate Matcha, Black Sesame Honey Cake, Rose Lychee, Chocolate Salted Caramel, and even vegan options like Swiss Meringue Buttercream. Prices start from $55 for a 5-inch round cake (can serve up to 10 people). She also offers customised dessert tables starting from $700.

The Cake Shop
We love The Cake Shop’s cute 3D fondant cakes, but be warned they don’t come cheap, mama: prices start at $180 and can get up to $350. But they also offer more economical options (we’re pretty impressed by their durian ice cream cake which comes in at $95), and their kid-themed 3D fresh cream cakes start at $85.90. They also offer Eggless Cakes – well priced at $36.90! Other major pros: three convenient locations (in Jurong, Bukit Timah @ The Grandstand, and Seletar) and online ordering!
Multiple locations, Tel: (+65) 6570 3033 / WhatsApp (+65) 9662 0303, www.thecakeshop.com.sg

We’ve always loved the clever name of this pretty pink shop on Tanjong Pagar Road, and it turns out their cakes are just as colourful and vibrant as their storefront! Cake Spade offers everything from crumbles, to cupcakes, to brownies and takeaway slices (10 different flavours to choose from, including a whole bunch of yummy-sounding cheesecakes (Speculoos Cookie Butter Cheesecake? OMG!). Their customised cakes include both 3D fondant and beautifully piped icing options; they generally recommend ordering a week in advance.

If you’re looking for something completely unique and a centrepiece for your party, Anita from Miss Muffet is the person to call. The Sassy Mama team has had the pleasure of diving into one of her delicious cakes, but not before colouring in the edible colouring sheet that wrapped around the cake’s buttercream exterior – a fun idea for kids and families!

Plain Vanilla
I chose Plain Vanilla for my daughter Maggie’s 2nd birthday party because their offerings are anything but — their custom cakes come in five delectable flavours (we opted for a combo of chocolate truffle and raspberry vanilla bean) and they’ve got a huge array of sprinkles, fondants and other decorations to choose from. This was seriously the best cake I’ve ever had! – Kate

If you’re looking for a 3D birthday cake in Singapore, Temptations, a gourmet bakery in charming Joo Chiat, has a reputation for their delicious special occasion 3D cakes! We’ve had a little peek at their gallery and we’ve seen a few jungle-themed cakes, Captain America’s shield, as well as a variety of Frozen styles. Modern reinventions of classics like a creamy Oreo cheesecake and a fun strawberry shortcake are on the shelves if you don’t have the time for something to be customised, but we personally think they’re worth the wait.
