When people talk about Emicakes, they will usually wax lyrical about the delicious durian puffs, cakes and crepes. This local bakery chain is all about the durian baby!

This Mid-Autumn Festival, the bakery has been churning out its own mooncake creations. We’re talking irresistible flavours such as chocolate, mango, and of course, the D24 durian mooncake. Durian fans, this one may just send you to the moon!

S$58 for Ultimate 8 (2 regular & 6 mini)
S$58 for Golden 4 (4 regular)
S$47 for Fortune 10 (10 mini)

As long as we’re on the topic of durian mooncakes, it would usually draw comparison with durian confectionery giant Goodwood Park Hotel. The Goodwood Park mooncakes are filled entirely with rich durian pulp, which makes you feel as though you are eating the actual fruit itself. Emicakes mooncakes boast a heavier and smoother, almost custard-like durian filling. While the durian flavour is still very much evident, there appears to be less of the pulpy goodness. It is distinctly sweeter than Goodwood Park’s.

The durian mooncakes are available in both the regular and mini sizes, and come with instructions to be stored at -18 degrees Celsius.

The Chocolate Dazzle mooncake is specially made for chocolate fans. I always find chocolate mooncakes particularly fascinating. They can come in so many forms, be it mousse-like (Crystal Jade), fondant-like (Kia Hiang) or some other hybrid version of a pastry.

Upon cutting the mooncake, we are surprised to find a thick white layer at the core. It is flattened across so that when you cut the mooncake into smaller pieces, every slice gets an ample share of the white portion.

What do you think this white ingredient is? My initial guess is marshmallow. Is it?

Chocolate Dazzle mooncake
S$42 for 4
Rating:

It is creamy white chocolate! How yummy! With its dense and cakey texture, this mooncake is quite similar to a chocolate brownie. I like that it is not overtly sweet, and comes with chopped nuts for an added crunch!

Festive Mango mooncake
S$42 for 4
Rating:

The Festive Mango mooncake pales in comparison to the other flavours.

Underneath the soft snowskin is a custard-like filling which somewhat tastes like cheese. Even with chunks of mango flesh in the mix, the mango flavour is pretty mild in this case.

Now “eggless” is usually synonymous with less-than-delicious cakes, but this time, Emicakes‘ range of eggless cakes blew us all away.

The eggless cakes are made from the egg substitute whey protein, said to be suitable for certain vegetarians. Even for a non-vegetarian like myself, I really enjoy these conveniently packed cake cubes and can hardly tell them apart from regular cakes.

Eggless cubes
S$2 each
Rating:

Available in 8 flavours — D24 durian, chocolate, mocha, choco blueberry, mango, strawberry, tiramisu and oreomisu — the cakes are priced at a very reasonable S$2 each. My personal favourites are the signature durian, tiramisu and chocolate flavours. The frosting is delectable, and the cake feels light on the palate.

Each cake comes in a petite size so you can indulge without feeling the guilt. We can finally have our cake, and eat it too!

This April and May, chocolate lovers can melt with delight at Emicakes. The bakery chain has whipped up a number of chocolate cakes, including its cake of the month and a certain chocolaty best seller for Mother’s Day.

Rocky Road Adventure
S$30.60 for 15cm (0.6kg) / S$53.20 for 20cm (1.2kg)

Cake of the month for April is the new Rocky Road Adventure. Dressed in soft chocolate frosting, the filling comprises three layers of moist chocolate chiffon intersected with two layers of rich chocolate mousse. Scattered within the cake are crunchy roasted peanuts and fluffy marshmallows that provide a slew of delicious textures. I love that this cake is not cloyingly sweet and enjoy it with a cup of coffee.

You can get 15% off for delivery and collection from 1-18 April and 13-31 May 2013 for 15-20cm cake sizes.

Pure Addiction
S$43.80 for 15cm (0.6kg) / S$70.50 for 20cm (1.2kg)

For Mother’s Day, the bakery’s most popular cakes have been spruced up with a new look for the special occasion. That includes its best selling Pure Addiction chocolate cake.

The incomparably rich inside out chocolate ganache covered cake is garnished with chocolate shavings on the sides, encompassing a chocolate chiffon filling. Mothers who love chocolate will definitely be delighted with this creation.

Check out more Mother’s Day cakes and win one for yourself in the Sparklette giveaway!

Update: This contest has ended. The winners have been announced.

Mother’s Day is a day for us to show our mother (and mother figure) how much we adore her. In Singapore, Mother’s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May, or May 12 for 2013, the one day in the whole year when mommies get to be showered with love, gifts and cakes.

The Emicakes bakery chain has created a series of delicious cakes to celebrate that special lady in our lives. Let’s take a look at some of these beautiful cakes.

Mother’s Day cakes from Emicakes

Say It With Love cake

The pretty in pink Say It With Love cake features a pretty heart-shaped marzipan. Enjoy it in Mao Shan Wang durian, D24 durian, or Pure Addiction chocolate flavours!

Mao Shan Wang durian cake

Mothers that love durians can be pampered with the Mao Shan Wang durian cake that boasts a striking spiky design accented by green trimmings. Stuffed within the yellow exterior is fresh and lavish durian flesh spread between soft vanilla chiffon layers.

D24 durian cake

Another fruity option is the D24 durian cake that bears a less dramatic design, but still has the mouthwatering durian flesh that she loves.

Pure Addiction chocolate cake

Chocolate fans can go for the classic Pure Addiction chocolate cake that we have introduced previously.

Promotion: Emicakes Family Card and selected credit card holders enjoy 15% discount on Say It With Love Mother’s Day cakes (20-25cm only) and 20% discount on the other limited edition Mother’s Day cakes (15-20cm only) for delivery and self-collection on 19 April – 9 May 2013. 10% discount applies to all Mother’s Day featured cakes for self-collection on 10-12 May 2013.

I’m thrilled to add that over the next two weeks, we are giving away 5 cakes for you to wish your mother a Happy Mother’s Day!

Mothers are amazing, and they deserve nothing but the best. Give Mom a lovely sweet treat this Mother’s Day taking place on Sunday, May 12, 2013.

We have tried and tasted several Mother’s Day cakes, and here is a compilation of the ones we love! Whether your Mom has the taste for a luxurious durian cake, or an indulgent ice cream cake, we’ve got it covered.

The Icing Room

Forget about carnations. At The Icing Room, a bakery under the BreadTalk group, go pretty in pink with the gorgeous rose-like Perfect Mum strawberry cake.

Made from classic vanilla chiffon and layered with strawberry mousse and jelly, this cake resembles the petals of a blossoming flower, adorned with silver chocolate balls for that additional dazzle! The mousse slides down the throat easily, and we think Mom will absolutely love it.

For the mouse potatoes, you can conveniently order the cake online and have it delivered on the same day to your doorstep at the newly launched online store.

Goodwood Park Hotel

If Mom is a durian fan, why not use this opportunity to pamper her with an array of durian pastries at the Goodwood Park Durian Fiesta?

Take Mom to the Deli on a nice afternoon and enjoy the perennial favourite durian mousse cake along with other sweet treats like durian puffs, tartlets and the newly introduced durian chocolate marquise cake. For a more intimate celebration at home, these items are available for take-out.

Swensen’s

Ice cream cakes are a big hit at Swensen’s. For Mother’s Day, the restaurant chain has created the creamy white chocolate and maple walnut ice cream cake.

This delectable ice cream cake covered in divine white chocolate, topped with fresh berries and beautiful floral decorations makes it a wonderful Mother’s Day gift. Swensen’s members enjoy a 20% discount.

Swensen’s ( Halal certified)

PrimaDéli

Tell her she’s the world’s best mom with PrimaDéli’s blackforest cake.

Coated with white chocolate, this cake is generously filled with sweet dark cherries within light and fluffy vanilla sponge. You also get two free bottles of Brand’s bird nest with rock sugar with the purchase of any PrimaDéli Mother’s Day cake (minimum 1kg)!

BreadTalk

Bakery chain BreadTalk has rolled out a duo of decadent Garden of Love cakes.

Surprise your mum with Rosy MOMents, layered with red bean and green tea chiffon. If your mum prefers something refreshing, why not brighten her day with the refreshing Love Mom, layered with yoghurt cereal and vanilla chiffon cake?

The latter is easily my personal favourite with its cheery yellow creamy top with cute flowers and grass, and lovely balance between vanilla sweet and yoghurt sour.

Emicakes

The Emicakes bakery chain has created a series of delicious cakes to celebrate that special lady in our lives. Chocolate loving Moms can be treated with the classic Pure Addiction chocolate cake.

The incomparably rich inside out chocolate ganache covered cake is garnished with chocolate shavings on the sides, encompassing a chocolate chiffon filling. Mothers who love chocolate will definitely be delighted with this creation.

Cedele

The super moist strawberry rose cake from Cedele is lovingly created with Mom in mind. Blended with refreshing dragon fruit and sandwiched with a light strawberry cream filling, the velvety cream frosting is laced with a subtle sweetness of rosewater and flanked by crunchy pistachio nuts.

Bonus: Häagen-Dazs

Bring your Mom to Häagen-Dazs for a heavenly dish of Flower Blossom or Paradise creation. This indulgent treat comprises assorted ice cream scoops, layered with crispy waffles and perfected with a drizzle of chocolate and strawberry sauces. You also enjoy two cups of coffee, tea or soft drinks with your order for that perfect mother-daughter or mother-son bonding session.

So there you go! If you are planning a Mother’s Day celebration, whether it is surprising your Mom with a new handbag or a luxurious vacation at a place like The Ritz-Carlton or the St Lucia All Inclusive Resort, a beautiful cake always sweetens the day. We hope you find this compilation useful.

While Mother’s Day has come to pass, Father’s Day is right around the corner and happening on the third Sunday of June. Honour your dad with one of these decadent cakes and wish him a Happy Father’s Day!

PrimaDéli

Let dad know just how much you appreciate him and his contributions to the family with the World’s Best Dad cake.

This PrimaDéli creation is a real chocolate treat for daddy with bitter-sweet chocolate truffle ganache between soft and moist chocolate sponge, topped with chocolate ornaments. Fresh strawberries and raspberries provide a refreshing fruity mix that cuts the wholesome chocolaty goodness.

PrimaDéli ( Halal certified)
Tel: +65 6276 3333 | Website

Awfully Chocolate

For another chocolate alternative, the All Chocolate cake by Awfully Chocolate always hits the spot.

This all-chocolaty signature creation from the chocolate specialist boasts moist dark chocolate cake with rich dark chocolate fudge. It’s an indulgence good for not just for Father’s Day, but any time of the year! Any chocolate-loving man (and woman) will love this.

Ben & Jerry’s

Can’t decide if ice cream or cake is better for celebrations? Get the best of both worlds with Ben & Jerry’s ice cream cakes! When it’s Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, you know it’s got to be good. (Okay, I may be a little biased, but B&J’s ice cream is my favourite ice cream of all time!)

Customise the cake with popular flavours like the crowd favourite Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Sweet Cream and Cookies, Strawberry Cheesecake and Vanilla. To order your ice cream cake, contact the following Scoop Shops.

Cedele

For a tangy and healthy option, surprise Daddy with this unique creation from Cedele, the pear hazel cake.

This perfectly moist cake is infused with ground hazelnuts and fresh Packham pears (rich in vitamin C and high in fibre), then finished with cream cheese frosting and addictive hazelnuts! Made with grapeseed oil and organic unrefined sugar, it’s a treat without the aftermath of guilt.

Durian Mpire

Love it or hate it, the durian is here to stay. The king of fruits has even found its way into many baked goods such as durian puffs and durian mousse, and of course, a Father’s Day durian cake.

If dad is a durian fan, pamper him with the Dearest Papa cake from Durian Mpire, comprising layers of vanilla chiffon and fresh durian pulp. The face design complete with thick brown hair, spectacles and rosy cheeks is simply icing on the cake!

Emicakes

We just ended a giveaway for the super adorable Dashing Dad cakes from Emicakes, but can’t resist gushing about it again.

The Dashing Dad cake in Choco Truffle comprises luscious chocolate cream layers amidst chocolate sponge. Because the sponge and cream layers are so light and airy, it doesn’t get cloyingly sweet or rich. I love it!

#1 Dad cake

Another cute design you can go for is the #1 Dad cake, featuring the same flavours and with chocolate stars and a #1 Dad ribbon award.

So what if you haven’t yet figured out dad’s Father’s Day gift well in advance, bought him his favourite gadget or one of those fun Darwin holiday packages? Be glad that you came across this list of delicious cakes to treat the man to!

As Mid‐Autumn Festival traditions prevail, the age-old mooncakes make a return this season. Avid mooncake fans can anticipate a feast for the senses as various restaurants whip up mooncakes with new, bold flavours, elegantly packaged in beautiful boxes.

If you are shopping for a nice gift for business associates, friends and family this mooncake season, or simply for your own indulgence, we round up 10 best mooncakes that you don’t want to miss for 2013.

The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore

Taking centre stage this year at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia are the new mini snowskin royal milk tea and seaweed mooncakes with snow lotus seeds.

The creative use of the snow lotus seed provides nourishing properties and texture, complementing the smoothness of the fragrant milk tea paste.

Perennial favourites such as the snowskin lycheetini and green tea mooncakes are also available. These gems come encased in an elegant red hard leather casing, sealed with a metal clasp.

Smoulder

Newcomer Smoulder — known for its multi-flavoured lava cakes — has created a series of mini chocolate truffle snowskin mooncakes.

Smoulder stays true to its roots of making soft-core cakes in different flavours by injecting its mooncakes with hard-shelled truffle centres filled with flavours of dark chocolate, green tea, raspberry and rum & raisin. Those with a sweet tooth will be charmed by the signature dark chocolate mooncake. These artisanal goodies make perfect gifts for the young and hip who relish the fun flavours.

Häagen-Dazs

For a welcome departure from the usual baked skin and snowskin mooncakes, try the ice cream mooncakes from Häagen-Dazs.

These icy creations come in a choice of four ice cream flavours: chocolate, strawberry, macadamia nut, and cookies & cream. Each morsel is encased in a chocolate coating and built on a crispy praline base. Placed in the centre is the surprise find of a refreshing mango sorbet centre as the yolk. A personal favourite is the white chocolate-coated mooncake filled with cookies & cream ice cream.

Goodwood Park Hotel

When it comes to fruity mooncakes, Goodwood Park Hotel comes up tops. The hotel is famed for its fresh summery fruit creations like mango with pomelo, durian, and cempedak. The combination of soft fruity pastes and pillowy-soft snowskin means that the mooncake will practically melt in your mouth.

The new pink guava with passionfruit and rambutan snowskin mooncake is a fine refreshing balance of sweet and tangy flavours from a novel blend of pink guava and passionfruit, as well as juicy rambutan bits for bite. The light aromatic scent of passionfruit makes this alluring beauty even more beguiling.

Au Chocolat

Cheesecake lovers are in for a treat. At Marina Bay Sands, the Au Chocolat Confiserie and Bistro is offering cheesecake-based mooncakes that each come in a whopping 10cm size!

The four assorted flavours are rum & raisin white lotus, pandan kaya, double salted yolk as well as 5-nut Au Chocolat. Nut-lovers will dig the 5-nut Au Chocolat, a healthy choice comprising pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, melon seeds, almond and walnut embedded within smooth chocolate cream cheese.

Check out more mooncakes at Marina Bay Sands.

Carlton Hotel

Want even more cheese in your mooncake? Check out the delightful mini blueberry cream cheese snowskin mooncake at Carlton Hotel.

In place of the usual egg yolk centre is refreshing blueberry jam, encased within a thick mousse layer of sweet and smooth cream cheese mousse. The harmonious blend of flavours makes this meticulously handcrafted mooncake the perfect after-dinner treat.

Emicakes

Durian lovers will have a field day at Emicakes. The durian cake specialist has churned out three different types of durian mooncakes: Mao Shan Wang durian, D24 durian as well as D24 Oreo. Talk about indulgence!

The top grade Mao Shan Wang will delight any durian fan with its luxurious and freshest Mao Shan Wang pulp and strong flavour. Customers will also receive a free sample of Allerines Premium Tea for every purchase. We’ve tried the tea and it is good! Also check out our guide to mooncake and tea pairing.

Mandarin Orchard Hotel

Handcrafted with finesse, the pastel coloured morsels from Mandarin Orchard Hotel make their début this year in delicious flavours like dark chocolate sabayon with crunchy pearl, mango yoghurt mousse, strawberry cream cheese and raspberry bits, and black sesame paste and custard.

Perfect as gifts for friends and family who will relish their uniqueness, these petite snowskin mooncakes are housed in an elegant golden-hued box that opens up to four intricately-designed panels topped with a crystal jade.

Thye Moh Chan

The iconic Teochew confectionery shop Thye Moh Chan has launched an exquisite Mid-Autumn collection comprising the stalwart establishment’s signature Teochew mooncakes. These traditional treats boast ethereal-light flaky pastry skin and a selection of different silky-smooth fillings.

The tau sar mooncake envelops a salted egg yolk within sweet or savoury mung bean filling. The sweet rendition is topped with white sesame, while the savoury encompasses a blend of salty mung bean paste with fried shallots, white sesame and is seasoned with white pepper.

Paradise Group

Executive Pastry Chef Fung Wing Sang at Paradise Group has introduced four brand new snowskin mooncakes featuring tropical fruit flavours and aromatic truffle-infused dark and white chocolate truffles, marking this festival with a vibrant burst of colour.

Make your guilty indulgence a little less sinful by selecting your mooncakes with antioxidant properties. The rejuvenating cranberry mooncake in strawberry snowskin uses antioxidant-rich cranberry puré with a zesty tang that is light on the palate, making it the perfect accompaniment to a rich meal and an ideal dessert mooncake.
