Cake Spade : The Daily Cake Store in Orchid Hotel, Singapore

"Care for some dessert?

 Admit it. No matter how full you may be after a meal, the thought of enjoying dessert never fails to put a smile on your face. Be it a scoop of ice cream, a piece of chocolate or a slice of cake, a meal will never be considered complete without dessert. That said, a trip to one of my favorite cake shop here in Singapore is something that I always look forward to. Luckily, it's located so close to my workplace so it's so easy to just pop by to buy a box of cake for someone dear or to enjoy a slice or two when my stress level calls for it.

Yesterday though, the goal was to introduce Cake Spade to my newly married friend L. This was after pigging out over our individual gyoza lunch sets at Gyoza King. I'm so glad that L is such a great eating companion that she was so game to have some cake after lunch. Yay!

As you walk in the cake store, you'll immediately catch a whiff of that comforting scent of delicious baked treats every single time. It just feels like stepping inside your home and smelling mom's newly baked cookies or bars. There were a lot of cakes on display making it extra challenging to make our choice.

Finally, we went for their famous (and my personal favorite) Strawberry Tofu Cheesecake (S$5.90 / S$52) and the super moist Red Velvet Cake (S$5.90 / S$52). I wanted L to try more so I insisted that she bring home an extra slice of Spiced Carrot Cake (S$5.90 / S$52) for her and her hubby PB to enjoy.

I have to admit that it took me awhile to try the Strawberry Tofu Cheesecake simply because I wasn't a fan of anything with tofu much more when it's in my cake. It wasn't until I tried it during one of our office birthday parties that I instantly fell in love with it. It's a very light silky cheesecake with a gelatin covered fruity top. No taste of tofu which I'm so happy about. The crust is made out of digestive cookies making it a tad healthier compared to the regular cheesecakes in the market. Since then, I've been ordering this any chance I get.

The Red Velvet is another favorite of mine. This is one of the few icing-covered cake that I can eat without scraping the icing off. Since it's made off cream cheese frosting, I find the cake sweetness to be just right. The chocolate sponge cake is very moist and a bit dense too so do share this with your special someone or with a friend as eating it alone can be too much.

I sure hope L and PB enjoyed the Spiced Carrot Cake. I had that during I's birthday two years ago and I loved it! It's definitely an upgraded, more sophisticated version of the widely popular Carrot Cake. I love the generous chopped walnuts that you'd get in every bite and it has a strong cinnamon (and I detected some nutmeg) taste too thus calling it "spiced".

There are about 10 more other items available at Cake Spade and I have yet to try them. Every time I visit, I always tell myself to get something new but I can't help but I always end up sticking to my usual favorites every.single.time. What is predictable? *sigh*

Cake Spade is located at 1 Tras Link, 01-06 Orchid Hotel Singapore, 078867. Call them at 6444-3868 for whole cake orders.

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night
