Fluff Bakery (Ondeh-ondeh/Mango Basil/Dark Choc Pie )

^ That is sure a long title for a blog post. But it's okay. It'll be much easier for people to google for it and come across this post. Hehee. 

On a lovely Friday and had no plans for that day, we decided to head down to Fluff Bakery. Fortunately, they had ondeh ondeh cupcakes on that they! Thank you for that they had updated and posted on their Instagram their weekly cupcake menu. Yay! I was wondering what's so great about their ondeh ondeh cupcakes and really looked forward to try it myself. Honestly, I planned to buy just AN ondeh ondeh cupcake but.... When you think about it you're already there and queued for 30mins for a cupcake it is just so not worth it. 

Fortunately (again), I was early for their cakes and pies. How could you not grab one of those?! It's just right in front of youuu !! I was quite disappointed when two persons before me managed to snag that last piece of pie. Thank you (again) for replenishing and actually having another pie in the kitchen. Of course, I purchased a pie. Phew! 

^ Ondeh-ondeh Cupcake ($4)

I truly understand why everyone come rushing for this stunning and delicious cupcake. It is actually simple to make this cupcake if you're a true melayu as the ingredients are like those in Coconut Blossoms and of course, ondeh ondeh itself. They're just in a cupcake form that's all.
Hands down, best bakery store in Singapore! They never fail to reduce sweetness for their cream. Ohhh the cream for the ondeh ondeh cupcake is truly sinful and had this (lemak?) taste which could be made from coconut milk (hmmm?).
I would come back and grab it during their #ondehondehweek hehee.

^ Explosive Mango Basil Cupcake ($4)

I know it sounds weird having herb in a cupcake. No worries because it sure compliments really well with the mango flavouring. The slight herb flavouring made the overall cupcake quite refreshing. Of course, the filling is mango with a tint of herb in it. The cream (as always) is not too sweet and was just at a sufficient amount. Which I truly like about a cupcake :)

It is really inspiring and amazing to find how that they came up with such flavour combinations.  

^ Dark Chocolate Feuilletine Pie 

I forgot the price for a slice of pie but it sure was either $7 or $8. It is a standard pricing for pies if you go to a cafe for example, Windowsil Pie. 

Anyway, the pie sure was heavenly. I did not regret buying it and now, I know why they were once popular because of their pie (instead of cupcakes). I can't help myself but to have to really savour this one and only piece of yummylicous pie. Arggg, so good! Definitely dark chocolate is the right ingredient to use in making a pie. It, too, compliments with that base of the pie. I have no idea what it is but it tasted like hazelnut (is ittt??? LOL). 

Did you know the dark chocolate feuilletine pie is one of the best selling tarts? Now you do! Be sure to come early and try one of their tarts (if they have it on that day). Don't say I didnt inform you! 

Fluff Bakery - Chendol Cupcake

^Chendol Cupake ($4)

Craving for Fluff's cupcakes! I promised myself that I will get them after exams are officially over, But, who cares! When your tummy wants it, you gotta goo get it! So glad that have new flavours on that week for me to try! 

Chendol cupcake has well, chendol on the cream. I'm surprised that they invented such cream! I mean hooww did you pipe them out?! Is it possible? I gotttaa try it one day! Thankfully the cream was not too sweet. It was just right (as always). In addition, there's gula melaka drizzle on the cream itself too. I enjoyed the cream very much. For the filling, it was red bean paste if I'm not wrong. However, it was a bit too sweet for me. It made everything tasted so sweet. I couldn't get myself to eat all of the filling :( 

Nonetheless, chendol cupcake is a must try! 

I regret not buying the Solero cupcake!!! 

Fluff Bakery

T.G.I.F; it marks the end of first week of school and also, long weekends for me since no lessons on Friday! Yippeee! Following Fluff Bakery on Instagram, I got  to know that this week's flavours were RVC, Salted Caramel, Mooncake,Virjin Mojito, S'mores and Oreo. What caught my attention was the S'mores flavour! I've never tasted S'mores before in my entire life. I know it does consist of marshmallow (which I don't like) but still I want to try it. 

Not entirely a cupcake monster myself and also, no tummy-support from the other family members, I cautiously chose only three flavours. It's enough since I just wanted to give it a try. Honestly, I do miss their Nutella Red Velvet too. 

Semangat take photo all~ Like I'm an ambassador. LOLLL. 

^ S'mores Cupcake ($4) 

Judging by the name of this shop, it sure never fail to produce light and fluffy cupcakes! Here's S'mores consisting of chocolate cake as the base, with dark chocolate filling (so generous as usual). Unfortunately, I was expecting the marshmallow frosting. But nah, they used meringue frosting instead. To finish the cupcake look, it's being torched evenly and topped up with their homemade graham crumbs. Mmmmhmmm~ 

For me, tried once is enough. Don't get my wrong here. It's really delicious and I adore the cupcake texture. Their cupcakes are never too sweet. It's juusssst nice~ Like I said I'm no cupcake monster. 

^ Nutella Red Velvet Cupcake ($4)

You know what it issss! Everyone doesss! The always-in-the-menu and ever-so-damn-popular Red Velvet!!! Woohoo~  I blogged about it and still loving it like the first time I ate it! 

Not so cream cheesy, loving the amount of Nutella and of course, the fluffy, less sweet cupcake base. 

^ Oreoooooo Cupcake ($4)

I dare not try the other flavours they were selling. I do not cause food and money wastage. Teeehee. Here's the most safest choice for all ages, Oreooooo! Yeah, they named this cupcake Oreoooo with a lot of Os. Simplicity at its best. Or lack of creativity, much? Hahaha. Who cares~ 

Usually Oreo cupcake base consists of the whole Oreo biscuit at the bottom or chocolate rice cupcake base. But for Fluff Bakery, it is made up of Oreo cake as the base. It has Oreo fudge filling which I loveee it so much! It tasted like... Oreo milkshake, god damn it! Not sweet at all too! Topped with Oreo frosting and Oreo drizzle! Not sure how they made this wonderful topping but it's simple and awesome! 

That's the end of my cupcake fix! Till next time Fluff! I'll come back when there's Creme Brulee on your menu~~

Fluff Bakery

I'm back and free to roam around for food currently. Right after finals, I headed down to Bugis, walked straight down to Jalan Pisang. There you have it just right opposite Hajjah Maimunah, the lovely famous cupcake store, Fluff Bakery! 

The store can be easily spotted as they had a familiar logo/sign-age hanging right above and outside their store. Moreover, Fluff Bakery was located close to Cinta Kek! I wonder how tough it is to have two well-known cupcake stores on the same aisle and located quite close to one another. Similarly, Spatula and Sweeet Tooth Addiction. Okay, let's not talk about this. 

Fluff Bakery's store was simply the most adorable cupcake store I've ever seen! It was certainly a-dream-come-true cupcake store outlook and ambience for me. I would love to own a store like that too! The two vintage bicycles caught my eye the most. I'm sure it did too for the others. As I stepped into the store, it smelt delicious (like the way it did at Spatula's). It was calm inside the store despite the hustle and bustle of hard working bakers in the kitchen. I certainly miss working in a cupcake store but I wouldn't want to be in such situations any more. It's exhausting to be honest!

I bought myself half a dozen cupcakes. Luckily, it was raining in the noon and went I reached there (which was about 1.15-1.30pm), there were no long queue at all! Hooray! Unfortunately, one of the cupcake was sold out by then despite them operating at 12 noon :( 

Fluff Bakery changes their cupcake flavours weekly and the 'always must have one' cupcake are the Nutella Red Velvet and Salted Caramel. So, not to worry if you crave for either one of them. However, you'll just have to be early before it sold out! 

^ Cinnamon Banana Caramel Pretzel Crumbs, $4 

Banana cake base with cinnamon banana filling. Caramel (i think so?) cream and top it off with pretzel crumbs. 

Honestly, the filling was a tad too sweet for me and my dad. Banana cake base was fine tho :) 

^Gingerbread Maple Liquid Cheesecake, $4

Cinnamon maple base with cheese filling. Maple liquid cream. 

All I know this tasted gross to me. The cheese filling was extremely not tasty at all that I couldn't and wouldn't want to have more than just a lick to it. Neither do I fancy the cake, I sure as well didn't like the minty/cinnamon taste to it. Oh it was undesirable and I hated this. Sorry.

^Strawberry Thyme Fruity Pebbles, $4 

Vanilla cake base with strawberry jam/paste filling. Buttercream with thyme taste (i thought so?). Top it off with fruity pebbles. 

This was indeed safe to eat and the strawberry filling was not sweet. It was perfectly fine. Although, I didn't catch the thyme taste. I'm guessing it was incorporated in the cream or maybe fruity pebbles? 

^Nutella Red Velvet, $4
Need I say more? It was the most delicious among the cupcakes I bought! Yummmmmmmzzz! I wished I bought 3 of these instead of 2.

Yay! Happy people with happy food!

Bavarian Creme

Since I wasn't able to work at the cupcake store on Sunday due to other things~ I, too, didn't manage to grab hold and have my tummy filled with Sunday Specials which were S'mores and Bavarian Creme cupcakes! Ohhhhh how much I would love to taste S'mores!!! *inserts crying emoji* 

Anyway, I told Faezah about my cravings and how lucky she was to be able to taste the new cupcake flavours (probably). Andddd... She (most) prolly have told my boss, Anna, about it. Well, here I am showing of the Bavarian Creme cupcake~~ They kept it for me and put on hold til I returned back to work yesterday! 

Bavarian Creme was incredible! It's just simply vanilla base cupcake with custard filling inside it. Plus, blue coloured buttercream and some lovely golden balls to make it so extravagant! I sayyyy... The custard filling was mmmmmm~~!!! I wished it was drenched entirely with custard (impossible). Hahahaha! 

Rainbow Ramble Cupcakes - Spatula Bakery

Made rainbow cupcakes at work today as someone ordered these for a party! And we has to sell them the next day as well! And oh hell no I'm not gonna do these rainbow cupcakes anymore at work. It is darnnn tedious, muscle &  back aching and tiring process to do all these. I'm seriously not kidding. However, a few didn't turn out to well because there were thin layers of that certain colour or mixed with the other colour and whatsoever~ 

I did bring home one rejected cupcake at the end of the day. It was still delicious though. Mmmm! :D

Cakes in a Jar - Spatula Bakery

Have you tried Spatul Bakery's cake in a jar? No?!?!!

Well, shame on you, honey! You better try them! It's worth it as the jar fits up to 2-3 cupcakes, a hell loads of cream frosting and surprises in between those cake and frosting layers! Mmmmm~ Nom nom nom.

Spatula bakery doesn't have these every single day though, sadly. They have it around the weekends (at times). Well, easy said.... when we are all free enough to make these cakes in the jar! hahha. Yes, no doubt everyone's been repeatedly asking for them but so sorry :( However, if it does happen to be sold on that particular day, it has various flavours ! And Spatula bakery really made sure that those flavours will be unique to whatever cake in the jar you've previously consumed. 

Le Petit Pâtissier

Le Petit Pâtissier is a brand new shop in the littlest town of Bedok North. It is really in a hidden and quite unnoticeable place. However, if you're living around that area, I'm pretty sure you'll definitely come across this tiny dessert shop. 

As familiar as it sounds, this dessert shop is based on a mother-and-daughter business and yeah, just like my previous post on the dessert shop in Clarke Quay, Little House of Dreams. I guessed it's really an in-thing now for dessert shops. Especially with whatever cupcakes or cakes they are selling too! It's merely the same thing wherever I go. But no harm trying them out, right? I'm very sure they have tiny speciality in each of their desserts. You may find some having fillings in the cupcakes (like Fluffbakery's ), a tint of alcohol in the cupcakes (like Twelve Cupcakes'- which is a big no no for me to consume!) and beyond perfect decorations (like Spatula Bakery's ).

Since I came in their shop at around 9pm, I believed they are left with a few cupcakes or maybe none. Thankfully, they are still whipping something in their kitchen and had a few desserts on shelves! Yipeeee! However, I don't really fancy what they have there.... It's dominated with loads of cheese-cupcakes~ Yeaaaah, CHEESE. I don't like anything to do with cheese on my desserts honestly. Sorry, cheese-lovers!! Heheheee. 

Luckily they still have 2 cookies and cream cupcakes left! Sooo, if you know me well, I'll definitely eye on anything oreo (with no cheesyyyy thing of course!). Oh, I forgot to mention that I was clueless on what cupcakes to buy! Due to.... the cheeeeseeeee issue! hahahaha! So, she did asked me whether I loved Red Velvet (everyone does). Anddddd, tadaaaa! I asked for 2 cookies and cream cupcakes. In addition, I've got a bonus FREE mini Red Velvet cupcake! :D 

The regular sized cupcakes costs $2.80 each. Affordable, riggghhtt? Definitely gonna go down there and buy more cookies and cream! hahahaha! However, the mini cupcakes aren't that worth it in my opinion. It costs 3 for $5 (mix and match). For a tiny thaaanng, I'd rather buy those regular sized! The cupcakes were doubt yummy. It was indeed moist like wherever I've tried. However, the frosting (decorations) differs from the others that I've tasted. Le Petit Pâtissier definitely made used of their love for cheese! HAHAHA! I mean it! Their frostings were cream cheese - Well, I know that Red Velvet compliments with it. But, their cookies and cream too!!! 

Unfortunately, I find that it was a tad too sweet when I had my second bite to the cupcake. It was like another Twelve Cupcake version of sweet. What I really adore would be Fluffbakery's frosting - not too sweet, Just perfect to want more! But, I'll definitely come for more because it's affordable and damn generous with the oreos / frostings! :D Ohhh! The lady boss is sooo friendly and sweet too! I do adore lovely service given by tiny dessert shops. hehehe. 

Do check out their store or visit them on Le Petit Patissier Facebook / Website!

Baking Class @ Little House Of Dreams

This was on 1st February and I had my baking class in the evening. Really wasn't looking forward to going town area at that time. This baking class was advertised on the website of Groupon and I guessed it was cheap and worth it. Since originally it is $100/pax! Thank god for Groupon I had to pay $55/pax ! Phewww~ I think it was worth it to have purchased Groupon coupon as I wouldn't see myself paying $100 for it. 

So, I headed down to Clarke Quay as the Little House of Dream (the shop) was located at The Central mall. As punctual as I am, I reached the place at 6pm meanwhile the class starts at 6:30pm. Since there is still sun out there, I decided to sightsee on my own. Honestly, as a local Singaporean I've never been here in my life. Thus, the picture above I HAD to take :) heheheh. I would love to ride on the boat too one day! 

As the time approaches 6:30pm...

Little House of Dream was quite hidden and had left me roaming around finding the shop. By the way, just find a Ya Kun Kaya Toast from Level 1 and there'll be an escalator down. Take a right turn and you'll see the shop around the corner, right behind Yamakawa SuperStore. 

Anyhooo, both exterior and interior of the shop completely amazed me!!! It was soooo dreamlike and cute! The chairs, tables, decorations and the bakery machines were pastels ~ And I honestly do have a soft spot for things which are in pastel colours! Hehehee.

The theme of the baking class was Whimsical Tea Party. And it's so much so related to Alice in The Wonderland. With teapots, flowers, mad hatter and also the cupcakes~ As I know of it, it'll definitely be a basic vanilla cupcake base. So, I guess I have no problem with that. Just that..... it's of a different method and I, now, know how to make a moist cupcake! YAHOOOO~ 

No wonder the last time I did my chocolate muffin with the Mama, it didn't turn out great.... NOW I KNOWWWW.

Guys, those cupcakes above are the ones I made and designed.....
HAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAH! (I wish) 
Pretty, isn't it? Hence, we learnt making the basic cupcake and also the fun part... DECORATIONS!

The cupcakes were damn yummy... I think it was my group's cupcakes.. since we were just in pair. paired up with a 30-40 aged lady by the way. She's really friendly :) Although we kinda did wrongly or didn't completely mix well everything... hahaha! Opppsss.... They gave our cupcakes to the rest and it tasted greaaaaaatttt!!~ 

For your info, everyone gets to bring home 6 (whatever we made) cupcakes! That explains why our group's cupcake was given out to the rest. So-called "leftovers". 

Comes the decoration part. We had to make: 

1. Flower
2. Hat
3. Teapot

Yes, obviously, they made us do the easiest to the hardest decoration. 

• Flowers: They were a bunch of halved medium-sized marshmallows. They were then dipped into a bowl of colourful sugar EDIBLE crystals. Easy, right? You can do it too! 
• Hat and Teapot:  We made use of an edible sugar plasticine dough, which are called fondant. Fondant can be bought at bakery shops such as, Phoon Huat. For the methods of making them.. It is as simple as making the dough into a ball, and shaped them the way you want it. For the strips/ ribbon on a hat, you can just roll it out long and flatten them. :D However, it was tedious for the teapot tho... As it does need the stout and the handle. HARDEST I TELL YOU!! 

Taaadaaa~ Above are my cupcakes except that the yellow hat was made by the demonstrator. She's a lovely person, btw. So sweet, dearly and loving person.
Overall, it was a worth it and a fun lesson! Now, I can bake them without any worries that my cupcake will turned out bleaahh~ It never did honestly. hahahaha~~ BRAGGGGG!!!!

SIDE NOTE: Fyi, this shop was a dream come true for the owners of this shop (mother and daughter). They started off from an online shop.. and expanded and had their dreams come true! D'aaawwww~ I wished for that too :)

Hey, Cupcakes!

Headed down to Hey, Cupcakes! since I was informed that they are selling their super cute Sesame Street cupcakes this weekend! So, hurry y'all if you wanna have a bite or just fancy taking picture of cute food. It's available today until Sunday. Else, you gotta wait around 2 more weeks or just simply 'like' them on Facebook to get latest updates! 

Anyway, I came down alone.. And as alone I was... I came to be more panicky to where should I alight, where should I go, where would this lead me... hahahah! Most stupid thing of all is to have me questioning and confusing myself "Should I take this bus? Should I alight now?" and the very perpetually last seconds of decision. I hate myself for doing this. I had to face shame and giggling to myself twice today. TWICE. Shame on me. 

Prolly it happens to me when I'm happy and ready to head home. That's when little scared Humaira begins to take over my body, hence the panicky feelings and making terrible shameful mistakes. Hahhaahah! YAYYYY! I got myself Sesame Street cupcakes that I've been eyeing on due to it's cuteness! Nonetheless, I had to get at least a Cookies And Cream cupcake as well. Everytime with the cookies~ 

Well then.. Hey, Cupcakes wasn't that tough to find when you're alone! Thanks to Google Map, hehhee~ It's along a quiet street of Joo Chiat Road, with no nearby bus stop tho... Lucky for Singapore being small, it's just a little short walk to this cupcake wonderland. 

NOTE: DON'T JUDGE THE BOOK BY IT'S COVER. 

Elmo Cupcake ($4): Lychee Buttercream on Vanilla Cake 

The smell of the lychee buttercream icing was dammn aromatic. I sure did fell for it's cuteness and aroma. The vanilla cake was normal like all basic cupcakes would have. I'm glad enough that it wasn't too oily/ buttery. It was of good texture too. That part... Pass :) 

Unfortunately, I didn't quite like Elmo's nose, which was made up of a M&M.. It gave me the impression that this cupcake was done like... days before today. It looked like it had been soaked in water / the after effects when you dissolved it into your mouth. Moreover, the oreo...Not only on Elmo but on the rest of the cupcakes I bought... were soggy and not crunchy. 

Finallllyyy~ It's cuteeeeee and damn I was fooled. The buttercream was super sweet to me and I barely didn't even wanna lick off the cream that were all on my fingers or plate. Honestly, I didn't even finish the icing. 

How bout I suggest to lessen down the sugar? Or probably the lychee essence or something?? hahahahaha! 

Cookie Monster cupcake($4) : Blueberry buttercream on Vanilla cake 

I have to say it's similar to Elmo. I'm sorry for you , dear Cookie Monster - coz you had to feed on soggy and not crunchy oreos :( I wish they'll bear that in mind. 

Oscar Cupcake ($4): Vanilla Bean Buttercream on  Dark Chocolate Cake 

This was different compared to the above two. Since Oscar lives in a garbage bin, hence the cupcake base shall be dark chocolate cake! Hahaha. Similarly, I'll give a pass on the basic cupcake base and a thumb down to the oreo.... I love oreo!! How could they .............. :( The vanilla bean icing was something unique to try and the sweetness of it was acceptable :) 

Cookie and Cream Cupcake ($3)

I'm utterly disappointed with the oreos! hahaha. Yes, STILL.... on the oreos~~ Ya know why? Because the most important thing on a cookies and cream cupcake is the COOOKIEES. I'm delighted that Hey, Cupcakes uses Oreos as cookies. However, they are soggy. On the brighter side, the buttercream was not buttery at all compared to Twelve Cupcakes's - which didn't had me to a finger buttercream-licking good ending. 

Hey, Cupcakes shall be the last on my cupcake list... And I have yet to try other shops. Not to worry, last on my list is currently the third place. hahahah! That issss whyyyy... I have to cupcake hunt~ I enjoyed and adored the adorable decorations on their cupcakes. Plus points to their creativity. Do bear in mind to carry around the NOTE(idiom is it?)... Soooooo deceiving!

Fluff Bakery (Part 2)

Another day with the amazing cupcakes from Fluff Bakery. I'm glad they have one more new flavour that I've never tried before! Yay!!! Today, Saturday, they had their usual Red Velvet Nutella, Salted Caramel and something brand new to me... Blueberry Lavender!

I still wished to have come down when they made their newest Creme Brulee , Boston Cream Pie and Raspberry cupcakes!!! Hopefully, another lucky day. STILL DYING FOR THEIR CAKES & TARTS thoooo~ Make sommmeee pleaseeee!! hahahaha.

Anyhooo, I bought 2 delicious RVC and 2 blueberry lavender. I didn't get the salted caramel becausee.... I was feeling selfish and didn't fancy it much. I shan't blog on the RVC and Salted Caramel since you can click here to read about it.

Here is the Blueberry Lavender Cupcake. I assumed it was yummy compared to Salted Caramel. But I assumptions fail on us every single time. Total root of all heartaches.
It wasn't outstanding and amazingly delicious compared to what I had the last time (click here). To me, Blueberry Lavender's cream was weird probably due to the mixture of blueberries. It has this... weird taste and kinda minty feel? No doubt, the cake was superb which juuusst melts into your mouth. For the core it was blueberry puree - which I thought was simple and mehhhh. Not so amazing and worth it about this cupcake. In addition, paying $4 for it. Sheesssssh~ 
Brownie points for using the fresh blueberries by the way!
