Cakes

Cake Avenue’s elaborate customised cakes sold online has grown a following over the years, and have now set up a brick-and-mortar shop at Lorong Kilat. A visit here will be incomplete without having the Chocolate Red Velvet Cake, comprising three very moist layers slathered in a decadent chocolate frosting. Other cakes worth trying include the Chocolate Fudge Cake, Berries with White Chocolate and Chocolate Caramel Crunch. The bistro also dishes out savoury options like the Double Dog Baked Rice — two jumbo sausages in a cheesy marinara sauce. The space also serves as a venue to host themed parties and even cupcake decoration classes!

This place does cakes right, and this one was no exception. Dubbed the 'Mariah Carey', this cake certainly is able to hold its weight as it namesake suggest. The brown sugar and rum sponge was moist and crumbly - it wasn't too dense and was actually quite light. The cream cheese frosting complimented the alcohol sponge really well, while the roasted pecans added a nice fragrance and texture to the cake. Definitely one of their best here!

This was another one of my favourites. The Greek yoghurt sponge was infused with lemon flavour which really took it to the next level. The sponge was crumbly, and not too dense. The blueberry jam complimented the zesty cake really well, while the cream cheese and Swiss meringue butter cream was light and creamy. The myriad of flavours really come together in perfect harmony with each bite. Mad love for this particular flavour of theirs!

Fancy a little me-time with your tea time? The rustic premises of The Bravery provide an idyllic escape from the urban hustle and bustle. The S'more Pie is just nice for one, with sticky, melted s'mores over a chocolately layer followed by a crumbly biscuit base. Pair it with the Lavender Latte!
