This is the cakes post I've been wanting to write. But technically, it isn't exactly all about cakes. The sweet things featured are all cakes, except for a couple of them. But I have to talk about them because they look vaguely like cakes. Okay, enough of justifications, I shall move on.

Here are the cakes/sweet things I like (not in order of merit):

1) Chocolate Souffle from Laurent Bernard Chocolatier
Apparently, to order this, people have to wait for 30min for the souffle to be baked. Freshness, in this case, is guaranteed! When I had this with Yue, Prisci, ZX and Char last year, I doubt we waited for 30min. At most 15 - 20 min? The raspberry sorbet was an immaculate accompaniment and good palette cleanser for the fluffy but at the same time, dense chocolate souffle.

2) Chocolate Raspberry Cake from Han's (Novena Square)
Don't belittle this simple cake because it's very good. I like the tangy raspberry bits encased in the within the chocolate layers. It has body, not just a typical sponge cake.

3) Coco Exotic from Four Leaves
This is my birthday cake. It is affordable and good. Ever since Yue brought it for us to eat on her birthday during our junior college days, I fell in love with it. The hazelnut/chocolate crispy base makes it a luscious eating experience because your mouth will feel the textures. YUMMY!

4)Carrot Cake from Cedele
Carrot cakes... my favourite cake of all time. To me, the important factor to carrot cakes is that they have to be moist inside and the cream cheese must be subtle yet smooth enough to give me the oomph! Cedele's version wins hands down (but I must say Coffee Bean's is a close second).

5)Apple Crumble by Epicurious (Robertson Quay)
Last year (or was it the year before?), Esther Neo (HAPPY that I finally met up with her recently to catch up! ;))brought a few of us to this quaint and quiet strip at Robertson Quay where Epicurious is located. Apparently, this Apple Crumble is homemade. With the vanilla ice-cream, it makes the apple crumble a joy to savour. I like the bits of fresh crumble =)
