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 cake bakeries 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.
Just in case you were doubting the hotness of the unicorn cake trend, we’ve also linked to each and every bakery’s rendition of a unicorn cake!
Scroll through to also see our top picks for best last-minute cake bakeries – you might not get super fancy 3D fondant, but you’ll get a tasty cake and maybe even colorful frosting on demand. We’ve also included info on Singapore’s most popular Halal-certified bakeries along with healthy alternative bakes, including gluten free and dairy free options!

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 to any request!), Instagrammable ooey, gooey Molten Lava cookies or even try their bestselling flavours – recommendations include Belgian Chocolate and Honey Yuzu with Nata De Coco!

We love this super pretty fondant unicorn cake!
From 3D Fondant cakes with lifelike figurines, to pretty pastel painted confections and Paw Patrol cupcakes, Butterfly Cake will have you covered, mama. We’re so impressed at the creations turned out by mother of three Deby!

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, molded fondant – but her cake flavors go way beyond your basic chocolate and vanilla. Some of her 21 flavors 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.
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!
The Cake Shop also offers not one but five different versions of a unicorn cake!

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 colorful and vibrant as their storefront!

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.

Yummy flavour combinations include Brown Sugar with Crunchie, Chocolate with a Salted Caramel drizzle and White Chocolate with fresh Raspberries (yum!).

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
NB: Plain Vanilla is NOT Halal-certified. No products contain any pork or lard, but some ingredients do include alcohol (including vanilla essence).

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.
