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. 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, these cake makers also deliver little slices of heaven when it comes to taste and texture. As they say, save space for dessert.
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.
