One of my favourite cakes from Laurent Bernard Cafe is the Pleasure ($9.80). Plaisir Sucré from Laurent Bernard Chocolatier I love how the puff pastry crumbled in the mouth together with the cake and cream. I had the namesake cake (milk chocolate mousse is infused with earl grey tea) when I went to the new patisserie by Chef Pang Kok Keong, and I fell in love with it.įlor Patisserie’s Mille-feuille (also known as Napoleon cake) has a layer of cake in between the layers of puff pastry and cream. Here’s my list of the top 10 cakes in Singapore. We all have our own favourite desserts, but whatever yours is, I hope you’re eating it. There really is no “ best cake” since each one has a different story and appeals to different people accordingly. With so many dessert places in Singapore, we are simply spoiled for choice.Īmong all the bakeries, cake shops and patisseries in Singapore, where can you find the best cakes? Which sweet treats are worth a try? The top is covered with a deep dark chocolate icing.Įvery good boulangerie will make a version of this legendary cake and in the Paris Dalloyau store it is still one of their best-selling cakes.Cakes were invented, I believe, for the sole purpose of making us happy. Known throughout the world, the rectangular cake is made of three layers of Joconde almond flavoured sponge soaked in coffee syrup and topped with coffee butter cream and chocolate ganache. It was a name that stuck, the Opera cake was born. His wife told him it reminded her of the Paris Opera House, Palais Garnier. He worked on layers and tastes and came up with a wonderfully sophisticated cake. When inventing the Opera cake he wanted to make something that in taking one bite, would give a taste of the whole cake. It was the perfect match when Cyriaque, a genius with patisserie and an artist who created the most amazing cakes and sugar decorations, and Dalloyau got together. Dalloyau have been trading since 1682 and were suppliers to the court of Versailles. The creation of the cake goes back to 1955 when great French pastry chef Cyriaque Gavillon worked at the legendary Dalloyau shop in Paris. There are many great French cakes but for connoisseurs, the cake known as Opera represents a taste of France at its most sophisticated and delicious.
