Well, my birthday is a month away so..... nope, this is not exactly my celebratory cake, BUT, it certainly felt like a happy event, receiving the beautiful Blackforest Cake with Mao Shan Wang Core and Signature Durian Dessert Box. Even the packinging exudes a touch of class - perfect for gifting definitely.

REVIEW TIME
I shall start with the Blackforest Dark Cherry Cake with Mao Shan Wang Core (SGD$98.00). Its a good 6-inch cake that can easily serve 6 to 8 persons.
Made of dark chocolate, this sleek-looking cake seemed innocent enough on the outside, but cut it apart and take a bite - the bittersweet cake with decadent MSW core, and fresh dark cherries - was packed with punch. Like, literal palate punch, but in a good way. I am a lover of everything in that cake, and to have them all convene in one single creation- that, is a dream (cake) come true.
Refer to picture above (source: https://thedurianbakery.com.sg/product/black-forest-with-mao-shang-wang-core/ ) to see the finest details that go into making this beautiful black cake with gold sheen.
The Super Burst MSW Giant Puffs (SGD$58.90 for a box of 8) are oh so luscious! Think 8cm diameter big fluffy choux pastry bursting with thick, creamy MSW puree the moment your teeth sinks in.
Then there's these Snowy D24 Durian Mochi (SGD$15.00 for 6 pieces) that's simply dreamy creamy D24 durian puree coated with a smooth, bouncy layer of light, chewy mochi. This is so good, it's easy to over-indulge.
Last but not least, the Dark Choco Musang King Mousse (SGD$16.00) - a 6cm diameter dome resting on a crunchy cookie base, slowly unravelling its bittersweet, decadent madeup as we undressed it with our forks and lips. It melted upon our tongues like a dream.
Good news for you if you're unsure which items to order, get an assortment with their Signature Durian Dessert Box - at a mere SGD$79.00, you'll get the Super Burst MSW Giant Puffs, Snowy D24 Durian Mochi, and Dark Choco Musang King Mousse all in a set, enjoying the best of triple worlds.
Finally, if you're looking to celebrate a special event, add on their classy Gold Birthday Accessory Set (SGD$5.90) - consisting of gold candles, gold happy birthday topper and metal cake knife (these items may also be purchased individually if you prefer).
Overall, the entire experience from ordering to delivery, from aesthetics to taste, has all been awesome, like 10/10. Will I order from them again? Definitely.
Thank you The Durian Bakery and Ryan for the wonderful treats and experience!
