Cake Spade caught my attention because of its unique name, close to a certain branded name for fashion. So when I heard positive reviews from a friend, I decided I had to try it soon. Located at 1 Tras Link #01-06, Orchid Hotel, Singapore 078867, the number for this rustic little bakery cafe is 6444 4868.
When I entered the bakery cafe, there were so many delectable beauties that caught my eye and I did not know where to start, even though I knew which were their signature cakes from various reviews I had read up on. Well pardon the very reflective photos, but that was just how ... reflective it was.
Anyway, from the array of rich brownies to an assortment of flavored cheese cakes to tarts, I was at a loss wondering what I should eat.
Eventually, I went with their recommended Strawberry Tofu Cheese Cake (SGD$5.90)- at first bite, this delicate beauty was flavorful and simply tantalizing. The strawberries were rich in its natural flavor, and the cool layer of sweet jelly supporting it was a lovely combination; the tofu cheese cake was soft and light in texture as well as taste. At the bottom, the digestive-biscuit base was rather crumbly though its crunchy, gentle sweetness complemented the cake rather well. Not bad indeed, this beauty.
My other indulgence was the utterly pretty and irresistable Chocolate Blackout Cake (SGD$5.90). The first bite was brought two words to mind - "too rich". The chocolatey taste was sweet, thick and sticky. It tasted more like mudpie than a fluffy slice of sponge cake - maybe it was the moistness of the ganache?
It melted rather fast anyway - albeit the fact that I was at alfresco table and the heat was sweltering. This was 15 minutes' effort, mind you! Even for someone with sweet tooth and am able to take rather rich stuff, I had to mull through this cake but still did not manage to finish it.
I had a small cup of Cuppuccino (SGD$3.80) to wash the sweet cakes down with - a tiny, bitter cup of my favorite coffee of all times.
Overall, quite a delightful experience, and I spent a total of SGD$15.60 in all. Nope, to be fair there wasn't sugar overload that clouded my judgment, but all I can comment is that I've tasted better cakes, such as at Flor Patisserie or SweetSpot Bakery etc.
