Singapore is one hot country, I mean the weather. Mrupupup got no choice but to rest at a café in Vivocity to escape from the heat. Using promotion 1-1 offers (two cakes at $10), Mrupupup had a great time eating up two cakes from Bakerzin café at Vivocity (level one near to CK Tangs store). The two cakes were New York cheesecake and Chocolate cake with ice cream. The New York cheesecake was awesome. Loved the melt in the mouth feeling of the cheese. The cake was not too sweet but flavourful. Very yummy! The chocolate cake was not too sweet, but Mrupupup got a sweet tooth so did not like the slight bitter taste of good quality chocolate used in the cake. But it was nice also! The Bakerzin café was so bright in the day time afternoon that Mrupupup had to wear sunglasses to shield off from the afternoon sun's blazing glare. Ok, back to the cool interiors of Vivocity mall after eating the yummy cakes.

Mrupupup loves to eat and could not resist the old school cakes from Pine Garden's Cake Shop at Blk 529 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10. This round Mrupupup had their yummy Pulut Hitam mousse sponge cake. The Pulut Hitam sponge cake was one creamy dessert cake which hits the palate just right to satisfy the cravings for  traditional dessert and cake at the same time. Pretty clever creation this Pulut Hitam cake. The other cake was the orange zest chocolate cake, Mrupupup loved its match of orange and chocolate all in one. This cake was not as moist as the other Pulut Hitam cake. It was nice though and pretty good old school cake. Cake price about $2 to $5 depends on the flavors. Mrupupup could not resist all the cakes and managed to take pictures of the cakes: cartoon cakes, old style cakes, black forest cake, lychee martin cake (do try this very interesting flavour!), many more! The prices are good and value for money. The shop also sells bread (not expensive) about $1 and...

Mrupupup finally tried the Twelve Cupcakes! Mrupupup had the cupcake which was red velvet with very nice cream cheese on top (and a cute heart also). Thanks to a generous sponsor, Mrupupup could smell the other the cupcakes but could not eat. Haha! Could not take all the cupcakes if not friends would scold Mrupupup. Wa, Twelve Cupcake was really nice. Mrupupup thought cupcake was a simple food, but Twelve Cupcake was nice, fluffy, not too sweet and not oily, buttery (taste was just nice!). Noticed from the website each box of 6 costs $17 and $33 for a dozen, not really cheap though. Ok, more sponsors of Twelve Cupcakes please, Mrupupup would gladly eat the cupcakes up. Mrupupup would like to try the other flavours like chocolate, green tea, mocha, vanilla, and cookies & cream. Eating a cupcake just makes one Happy, did make Mrupupup delighted! Red Velvet Cupcake- taste the best!

Juchheim baumchuken cakes are here in Singapore's Takashimaya store (basement two). Check out the pretty box and the chocolate layered baumkuchen cake below. Baumchuken is a type of german and japanese creation with the characteristic 'tree like rings'around the cake. Baumchuken is german word for 'tree cake'. As with most Japanese food creations, their food products comes with pretty packaging. Juchheim is from Kobe Japan and was establised in 1909. The layered cake was nice and tastes unique. It would be better if the baumchuken cake is eaten chilled or with a good cup of green tea. Need to slowly eat in small bites, in fact savour the cake. Yumz! Mrupupup loves cake!
