Ad-man-by-day, Mervyn Chan’s cups overfloweth. He and his partner, David Logie, fill their decadent desserts with maraschino cherries, mandarin slices and Belgian waffle crusts. These are covered in whorls of butter cream that will send your self-control crumbling and make you look horribly undignified as you lick up the crumbs from the wrappers.

The cupcakes cost S$3 for 2.5 inch and S$6 for 4 inch except for C-Cup signature which costs S$7 for 4 inch.

Heaven forbid you lose that svelte figure. Fortunately, you can stuff your face and still maintain your waistline with the incredibly light, fluffy Holy Muffins and cupcakes from this store. Elizabeth uses corn oil instead of butter so they’re healthier and still pretty palatable. The cupcakes taste better without the icing, though, which lacks richness and is too greasy.

You can also have your photos printed on the cupcake (see 1st picture above). They also do wedding-cupcake-in-a-box (see last picture above), which is great for your guests to bring home instead of the usual ho-hum presents.

Cupcakes start from S$2.50 onwards, depending on the designs.

Pine Garden's Cake

Pulut hitam, or black glutinous rice, is usually made into a pudding with rich coconut cream drizzled on top.

Pine Garden’s Cake in Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10 has turned it into a Pulut Hitam Cake. Soft vanilla sponge cake dotted with black rice is sandwiched with pulut hitam mousse. The cake is topped with the luscious black rice pudding, which manages to stay on the cake instead of sliding right off it.

It’s quite a feat and the result is a light and yummy cake that is a refreshing take on an old-time dessert.

Just as good is Cocotero, with an ever so slightly salty coconut custard pudding sandwiched between vanilla sponge. It’s like a cross between a classic Nonya kueh and a heavier version of a chiffon cake. The custard is shot through with strips of young coconut that add some texture and there’s more sprinkled on top. People who are put off by desiccated coconut, relax. This is quite different. Fresh young coconut just can’t be beat.

A 500g cake costs $24, and a 1kg one is $35. Call the above number at least 2 days in advance to order.

They have 6 outlets in Singapore, so check their website for the nearest outlet if you want to dine in. Else, just call the delivery hotline. Minimum order is S$30. Deliveries are subject to delivery fees and GST in some cases (the operator will advise you of this). Delivery hours are from 11am to 2.30pm and from 6pm to 10pm daily.

There are 23 mouth-watering pizzas all named after Italian women, 9 scrumptious desserts named after famous female opera characters and 12 equally tantalizing starters named after the emperors of Rome. All pizzas are wood-baked, so you can get that fragrant woody taste in every bite of your pizza. All pizzas are also thin-crusted.

Medium pizzas ($15) generally serve 2-3, while large pizzas ($18) can satisfy 4 average diners.

I’ve tried their Adriano pizza (smoked salmon with onion rings and capers) and hmmm….. hmmm…. hmm….. I’m a convert now and I will only fall back on Pizza Hut only in case of emergency.
