Cake party at dapper coffee

Honestly, when you’re really running a legitimate business or working for one, you do have to put certain fantasies aside and work with whatever you have. This chocolate raspberry cake adorned with rose buds and dried grape fruit sure doesn’t look like a chocolate cake, but that’s all we had.  

 


I’m so sorry if you’re wondering why there’s grapefruit and roses on a chocolate raspberry cake. But I must say the dried grape fruit look cute stuck on the sides like tiny fan-shaped windows. The (self-declared) house specialties sitting behind are the matcha berry and twix cake, also lemon meringue tartlets and the new Favourite cos it’s Ramadan season and dates are dirt cheap – sticky banana and date pudding with vanilla-rum sauce. It’s kind of a cross between banana bread and date pudding (cake). The sauce is a must! Although it’s a replacement for a nice heaping scoop of ice cream, it ain’t too shabby either.

We’ve been busy tinkering about in the kitchen lately, but we’re happily serving up deliciousness at Homestolife at I12 Katong! Their lovely shop is filled with Scandinavian-esque furniture and little trinkets, we or at least I fell in love with the shop. Yes, I DO need that hexagon marble platter… that I cannot find space in my house for… #hoarder. Anyway, here’s a visual feast of the cakes we’ve had displayed on the shelves at Homestolife over the past few weeks.

Baking for Dapper Coffee

IMG_9561So for those who are curious about what I actually do, I bake, I teach and I set up dessert tables. Also, you can follow me on Facebook or Instagram for more regular updates.

My super duper talented secondary school friend, Christine, offered to let me bake for Dapper Coffee which she’s running now at Amoy Street and this is where I currently bake at (psst, we are also looking into holding classes here!)

All pictures were taken by Christine and Sufie ^.^ All cakes decorated by me.

The menu at Dapper Coffee is ever changing and super mouth watering and the drinks are so bloody brilliant as well! Really love the infusions they make with their dehydrated fruit. And their cold brew is banging. It’s a pity that their shop lot is on the second level and passers-by can’t peer into their super chill instagram worthy interior. They are not your usual cafe. I urge everyone to just pop by, at least once!
