Bakes

Wu Pao Chun always seems to be ready to welcome Christmas, and it’s no different this year with the whole line-up of Christmas-themed bakes they’ve created. Just some of them are the Wreath of Joy ($3.20) - a soft brioche bun filled with a generous amount of chocolate, Chestnut Cane ($4.80) - a candy-cane shaped bread filled with chestnut paste, and Jingle Ginger ($3.20) - a wreath-shaped bread filled with ginger custard cream and dried diced ginger.

Their bakes are available at both their Capital Singapore and Paragon outlets till 25 Dec 2022.

What’s Christmas without the classic gingerbread men! Wu Pao Chun’s rendition is baked with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and honey.

The Joyous Garden Focaccia was a fun bake to dig in to, packaged in a slim reusable wooden box and topped with mushrooms, tomatoes and onions. It’s a savoury piece, and done soft within with a pretty good golden brown exterior. Definitely recommend to warm this up!

Wu Pao Chun’s award winning bread, the Lychee Rose Royale is something we always enjoy! It’s fragrant with a pleasant lingering sweetness. It’s also all decked in cute Christmas greetings now, alongside their whole line-up of Christmas bakes and treats.

It’s Sourdough September AND Baker & Cook’s 10th Birthday!

Join in the fun with their gorgeous Celebration Loaf (Pain au Levain) that you can customise with the name of your choice - how cute omg, it’s perfect for gifting too. You got to pre-order a week in advance for this, and it’s sooo good paired with both their own and Fix and Foggs’ spreads which they both carry in-store. Loved the soft and nicely chewy texture.

Haven’t tried Mdm Ling Bakery’s famed baos, but got to try their new Ma Lai Gao (Cantonese steamed cakes) recently. They were super convenient to prepare, you’ve just got to air fry or steam them right out of the freezer. Super fluffy soft and lightly sweetened! The brown sugar flavour is not very pronounced but the hints of it was lovely.

More order details can be found on @mdmlingbakery.

PSA! Bet everyone has heard of June Bakery’s Orh Nee Tarts, but they now have … ORH NEE CROISSANTS too!

Absolutely love how uncle and aunty are always innovating for fun new flavours + creations. These are $1.40 each and similar to the tarts, you get a generous amount of their smooth and mildly sweet orh nee filling. Can’t say that they have the best croissants, but at this price, I’m a huge fan. Definitely recommend heating them up to get the lightly crisped texture and a more pronounced buttery fragrance. I say this in every post on them - but please make sure you call to reserve early before heading down to avoid any disappointment!

What a huge scone! 😂 This is the Rosemary Cheddar Chives Scone from Puffs and Peaks - appreciate how each of these comes with a side of miso butter. Thought the inner texture was just a little cakey, but we enjoyed the flavour. Heat it up to get a nice outer crust!

Pandan flavour was more light. I love cheese so I definitely wished there was a tad bit more of it in here. This is a limited time flavour till end of Sept. Their toasts are the more soft and dense sort.

Find the loaves pricey though - so psst, if you’re looking to try, there’s an on-going promo on @shopbackgo. Thank you @sugartoast.sg for sharing your toasts with me! ✨

Enjoyed this most of the 3 flavours we tried. It had lots of that chocolatey swirls here so you’re sure to get chocolate in each bite! This was also the most distinctly flavoured one of those we had. Their toasts are the more soft and dense sort.

Breakfast with toasts from Sugar Toast! They specialize in Japanese style milk flavoured bread loaves that are hand braided, with a more soft and dense texture. To date, they have 15 fun flavours on the menu like Purple Sweet Potato, White Chocolate Matcha, Dragonfruit Walnut etc. The base of each of their loaves have a fragrance and sweetness from condensed milk added, hence you don’t need any additional spreads when having them.

This was the original flavour. It’s the sweeter toast of the 3 we tried. Fragrant and had a hint of butteriness.

We’re not usually a fan of black forest cakes so we’re probably not the best judge, but would have liked this a bit more distinctly chocolatey!

Had these quite a while back and am sure the friendly owner has been working on all the improvements since. Thank you @crookiecrumbs.sg for sharing your bakes with me ✨
