Carrot Cake Hunting

Carrot Cake from Marmalade Pantry

So far I've tried Marmalade Pantry's, Cedele's (which I like), Brewerkz's, P.S. Cafe's, Cafe Beviamo's (which I also like, though I prefer their Hummingbird Cake), Delicious, Coffee Bean and a few other places which I can't quite recall at this present moment. I like having nice slice of carrot cake (:

Just decided to post an entry because I forsee myself being very busy over the next few days so I'll only put up the Jaan post this weekend! (: Have a good week ahead!

Delicious

Hello! (:

It's a chilly night and all I want to do right now is to hop into bed and sleep the night away but this entry has been on the back of my mind for a while now because the cakes and desserts from Delicious are just too darn good not to rave about so here goes.

Last weekend, I received an unexpectedly pleasant surprise when Mrs Tan came over to pass my family 8 different types of desserts as well as a bunch of lilies (which are my favourite flowers btw!) for my birthday! The five of us, Jeffrey and Matty shared the cakes and tarts and all of us were sold! I didn't manage to taste some of them but I do trust my family's verdict! Here are some photos of the cakes that will most probably make you salivate:

I thought that the coconut cake was exceptionally well done! (: If you can't spot the coconut cake, it's the one with a twin sitting together in the blue box! The cake was light, soft and the coconut strips tasted very fresh, as if they were just stripped off a young baby coconut! The cream was also very light and non-gelat. I loved the coconut cake the most but the rest were also spectacular! I will probably check out Delicious at Scotts Square soon to see the array of sweet things on display (:

Partly because I'm not a huge flowers person and also because I think that buying flowers is a waste of money, I've never really received flowers, much less bouquets of flowers so you could imagine how surprised I was when I received a bouquet of my favourite flowers! (: Had to specially get a 'vase' to place them in but the effort was worth it because the room smelt nice for the days that followed (:

Thank you Mrs Tan for the presents! (: Much loved and appreciated! (:

The Patissier

To make up for the extremely disappointing birthday dinner with my family, LPP & Jeffrey bought me an immensely satisfying chocolate cake from The Patissier! =) My good friend, Kathleen, highy recommended the double chocolate pralines cake, which I placed an order for in the end and I didn't regret choosing that cake! It's probably THE best praline cake that I've tasted thus far. Chocolate lovers, please order this to try! It's REALLY good! =) I'm looking forward to trying other cakes from The Patissier but since their cakes are awfully expensive, I'll only order cakes from them for special occasions! (:

Haagen Dazs Ice-cream Cake

My family members and I celebrated gumtoo aka my mum's birthday tonight with a small but extremely expensive cake from Haagen Dazs!

This small chocolate ice-cream cake costs $96! My goodness. It's THE most expensive birthday/ ice-cream cake that any of us has ever eaten in our lives! We were supposed to meet the both of them at Vivo City's Haagen Dazs outlet for a family celebration over haagen dazs fondue but because of bad traffic (PIE was closed for some strange reason =S), they decided to buy a cake home instead lest we arrive after Haagen Dazs' closing time. Since the only other ice-cream cake that we've tried prior to tonight was Swensens ice-cream cake, which only costs about $30+, both Papa and gumtoo didn't bother checking out the prices of Haagen Dazs' ice-cream cakes before purchasing one! In short, they received a shock when it was payment time because they never expected a little harmless cake to cost so much! However, since it's gumtoo's birthday, Papa willingly bought the cake for all of us to share (:

The entire cake was made of chocolate ice-cream and it was nothing short of divine. I've always been a fan of Haagen Dazs icecream because the quality of icecream, in my opinion, is really top notch. It's hard to find other icecream with similar quality. I greedily ate two huge slices of cake after cake-cutting session.

Happy birthday gumtoo! (: I hope you enjoyed your buffet dinner at Carnivore with LPP and that you'd a pleasant cut-cake session with all of us! (: We love you!
