After the bridal gown, the wedding cake—no matter the size or flavour—is the eternally anticipated thing on a couple’s big day. The tiered masterpiece holds its own from afar and makes its rounds on social media like seasoned royalty. Pop in the hashtag #weddingcake on Instagram and there are over 7.4 million pictures for your personal consumption.
The wedding cake is no less spectacular in Asian weddings. The cutting of the cake is a significant moment that happens during the wedding dinner and symbolises the couple’s first joint act as newlyweds. But what good is a cake if it doesn’t have that delicate flavour bomb that leaves the couple and their guests in heady happiness? Beyond fresh flowers and a perfect fondant, today’s best cake makers are also depended on to deliver little slices of heaven when it comes to taste and texture.
Should you be in the market for a wedding cake yourself—one that is guaranteed to add the sweetest cherry on top of your merry occasion—then we’ll be pleased to be at your service. In securing a tiered concoction for your joyous day, it’s important to understand that it should fit right in with the chosen aesthetics of your wedding. Needless to say, it should be an expression of your personal preferences. Those who love the classic grandeur of a three-tiered number and decadent blooms will appreciate the dreamy deliveries by Edith Patisserie or Bloomsbury Bakers. Whilst those who desire a more rustic, vintage touch might be more keen for a design from Winifred Kristé Cake or Cupplets. For the minimalist lovers? You just might find your eternal love in Crummb.
Below, Vogue Singapore’s shortlist of the best wedding cake designers in town to hit up ahead of your big day. As they say, don’t forget to save space for dessert.

Yume Patisserie
Chef Amber Seah trained under the Le Cordon Bleu Japan and is skilled in fondant cakes, Korean buttercream and French pastry. Her cakes are spectacular yet surprisingly healthy, as she believes in not using artificial flavouring in her bakes. Seah’s David Austin roses, which take two hours each to make using their newly-developed chocolate velvet paste, make for an elegant finish.

Winifred Kristé Cake

Crummb
Creative businesses often materialise when you can’t find a solution you’re satisfied with. In the case of Crummb, founder and cake artist Paulin Teo realised her ideal wedding cake didn’t exist, which inspired her to make her own. Teo excels at everything from marbled fondant to metallic finishes and textured geometry, and is exploring using wafer paper to make sculptural silhouettes. Her latest initiative includes an online shop selling cake decorating tools, such as textured rolling pins, and tutorials.

Crème Maison
Crème Maison holds the title of being the first on this island to make a floral cupcake bouquet, made entirely of buttercream. Combining the freshest ingredients with comforting local flavours, the bakery’s go-to list includes raspberry lychee rose, matcha salted egg, and earl grey lavender. The latter is a decadent number which infuses premium-grade Gryphon classic earl grey leaves with lavender overnight, before being infused again in the cake sponge batter.
