How Do You Choose a Birthday Cake?

Trying to pick the perfect birthday cake is harder than it seems. You want something that will be delicious, but you also want something that will show your loved ones how much you care. So, what's the best way to go about choosing a birthday cake?

...

1. Who’s celebrating?

When choosing a birthday cake, it is important to consider the personality of the celebrant. If they are a serious and reserved person, then a simple cake with minimal decorations may be best. However, if they are a fun and outgoing person, then a more elaborate cake with lots of decorations may be more appropriate.

2. How old is the birthday celebrant?

Another factor to consider when choosing a birthday cake is the age of the celebrant. A child or teenager may prefer a cake that is brightly colored and decorated with their favorite cartoon characters. An adult may prefer a more sophisticated cake, such as one that is decorated with fresh flowers.

3. Consider the Event's Theme

If the birthday party has a specific theme, then the cake should be chosen to match that theme. For example, if the party is based on a particular book or movie, then the cake could be decorated to look like something from that book or movie. If the party does not have a specific theme, then any type of cake can be chosen.

4. Consider Any Dietary Restrictions

When choosing a birthday cake, it is important to consider any dietary restrictions that may need to be accommodated. For example, if there are guests who are gluten-free or vegan, then there should be a cake that meets their needs. There are custom cakes that cater to different dietary restrictions, so it should not be difficult to find one that everyone can enjoy.

5. Get Creative with the Flavour

There are many different flavours of birthday cake to choose from, so it is important to get creative when choosing one for the guest of honor. Some popular flavours include chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and pandan ondeh ondeh. However, there are many other flavours that can be used as well, such as salted caramel and cookies and cream cake. It is also possible to combine two or more flavours together to create a unique flavour combination.

6. Choose a Meaningful Design

The design of the birthday cake should also be meaningful to the celebrant. For example, if they have a hobby or interest that they are passionate about, then the cake could be designed to reflect that hobby or interest. Alternatively, the design could be based on something that is significant in their life, such as their favorite animal or flower.

Yes, definitely! Fillings are in the middle, and the outer of the cake is coated with vanilla buttercream.

Structure is vital in tiered cakes, as they are heavier and require support, or they may not be able to hold. Do remove the structural items in the cake before consumption. They are food safe but not edible.

We do not make fondant cakes for the following reasons:

Our recipes have been engineered to be light and moist, and it may not be able to support the structure of the heavy fondant. Fondant is essentially sugar, and it has to be kept in an air-conditioned room at all times. Coming into contact with refrigeration or Singapore’s humid weather will cause it to melt or become shiny/sticky.

e only use low sugar buttercream with our cakes and they are 50% lower in sugar than regular customized cakes. Decorations will be made with fondant or toys, depending on the design.

For fondant figurines, it is best to store it in an air-tight container and avoid direct sunlight as it might cause colours to fade.

Fondant can be kept as long as it is well maintained and kept dry (no moisture).
