Yummy Cakes with Dig In Cakes [Sponsored]

Holding a surprise birthday party but missing the cake? Or are you just like me, who would very much prefer to have your cake delivered to your doorsteps? 

Taking the bus with an 8 inch whole cake in my hands, no thanks! 

Be glad to know that Dig In Cakes has got you covered!

Not only are their cakes reasonably priced and look absolutely beautiful, they're also freshly baked with the finest ingredients and even offer same day islandwide delivery, even an express one-hour delivery and midnight delivery! 

Last minute whole cake for a midnight birthday surprise, CHECKED! 

And after wrecking my brain over the huge selection of cakes they have, I finally decided to try out their 6" Blueberry Elderflower Cake! 

A unique combination of elderflower and blueberry, perfect for those who enjoy a light, floral flavour.

A decent amount of not-too-sweet blueberry jam layered in between fluffy vanilla sponge cake that's a tad dry, and then slathered in an unbelievably thick layer of cream, which I reckon to be Elderflower infused but so subtly that I didn't really taste any hint of it. 

As you can see from the cut section, I really wasn't exaggerating when I said that the cream layer is overly thick. While I guess it's serves to complement the slightly dryness of the sponge cake, it also created a lot of heaviness and just make the cake too cloying and oily for my own preference. 

I ended up needing to scrap away most of the cream and only eating the sponge cake and blueberry jam in the middle. 

Well, if you're a huge fan of eating sweeten cream on its own, I guess this would be your jam.  

Can't deny that the cake looks super pretty though!

I've previously tried their Yuzu Osmanthus Cake (I guess you can tell my cake preferences) and it was absolutely delicious! Unfortunately, I have to say that this Blueberry Elderflower, albeit looking a lot prettier, didn't meet my expectation. I guess the Yuzu Osmanthus has set the bar a little too high, even my parents and my grandma loved that cake. 

And with Mother's Day coming up next month, Dig In Cakes also have some pocket-friendly cake and flower bundle for y'all to surprise your Moms!

Anyway, I've had a tough time trying to decide on THE cake to try from their impressive selection of cakes, all looking so fancy and delicious (especially all those chocolate ones!). 

And then, I saw you. Yuzu Osmanthus. 

Yes people, OSMANTHUS. 

Indulge yourself in our signature Yuzu Osmanthus Cake. A refreshing and light option made with Japanese-infused cream in between and around an aromatic sponge cake finally topped with dried Osmanthus flowers. This is one cake you should not miss out on!

Appearance wise, this cake definitely pales in comparison to the rest, but I can't let Ms. Osmanthus go. And I'm so glad I didn't! 

Look at that, the cake was SOOOOOOO soft! Slicing through it with a plastic knife felt like cutting through butter with a hot knife. 

Okay, I know some people really hate seeing/hearing this word. But the cake was really super soft, light and moist at the same time. 

(My apologies if any of you cringed, but what other words would you prefer? WET?) 

I love it that they didn't slap on a thick layer of cream like their lives depended on it, which contributed a lot to the lightness of the cake. I reckon it's also because the sponge cake was already tender and moist enough on its own, hence there's no need for the baker to go crazy with all the cream to balance out any dryness in the sponge layer. Not only was the cream of the perfect thickness, it was also surprisingly light and 'easy to eat', not overly oily and heavy at all. 

The yuzu infused cream in between the sponge layers were the true essence of the cake, adding just the right amount of sweet-sourness that makes you just want to keep eating it.

This cake, is moreish, and I'm not exaggerating. A moreish cake, can you believe it? 

Initially, after slicing out roughly 1/10 of the 9-inch cake, my mum and I decided to just share that 1 slice for supper, mainly because my mum is well known as a "bird's stomach". And guess what, after polishing off her share of the cake (which, effectively is 1/2 of a pretty standard slice of cake, her usual serving size), she actually turned to me and said, "Actually, I think I can eat that slice by myself."

*jaw-dropping moment*

And the fact that my mum's birthday is right around the corner is definitely the icing on the cake. :)

Getting cakes at your doorsteps in 1 hour with Cake Delivery Singapore

They say money can't buy happiness; but we can buy cakes and that's kind of the same thing. Happiness is a piece of cake, literally. 

 
And look, I've got TEN pieces of cakes, delivered right to my doorsteps on a rainy day, all thanks to Cake Delivery Singapore!

Every baker from Cake Delivery Singapore has gourmet baking experience of more than a decade, having worked at high end bakeries and hotels, and most of them educated at some of the top culinary institutes in Europe. 

Unlike your average brick and motar cake shop, Cake Delivery Singapore not only has a full refund (or re-delivery)1-hour delivery promise, but also offers after hours delivery from 10pm to 6am for those planning a surprise midnight birthday party! 

Not only do they offer an impressive selection of cakes and sweet treats, you can also expect to find healthier choices desserts such as reduced sugar or vegetarian brownies, vegan eggless chocolate cakes and keto carrot cakes! There's also local flavours such as Mao Shan Wang, Ondeh Ondeh, and Orh Nee Yam cakes! 

And here's what I've got.

8" Build Your Own Cake - $89.90

A 1.5 kg cake made up of 10 individual slices of cake, with 8 different flavours to choose from (subjected to availability): New York Cheesecake, Burnt Cheesecake, Oreo Cheesecake, Strawberry Cheesecake, Chocolate Truffle Cake, Biscoff Cheesecake, Blueberry Cheesecake, Red Velvet Cake. 

Yup, definitely sounds like the perfect choice for a cheesecake lover. 

There were only 4 flavours available for my BYOC, so I simply went for 2 slices of each flavour and added on 1 extra slice for the Chocolate Truffle Cake and Biscoff Cheesecake. 

I mean, chocolate truffle and biscoff, who doesn't adore them?! 

And can you guess the flavour of the 1st slice I went for?

Yup, Chocolate Truffle Cake, I choose you!

Combining the best of both worlds, the Chocolate Truffle Cake has a rich, oozy chocolate ganache centre that's surrounded by fluffy, moist sponge cake and coated with cocoa powder to showcase the roasted flavour of their premium cocoa beans. 

As with most other cakes (chocolate, especially), always remember to leave it standing on the counter for a good 15 to 20 minutes for the chilled cake (if you keep it in the fridge) to de-chill before eating. And, knowing that melty chocolate taste even richer, I left mine to considerably soften up for over 30 minutes before eating it and IT WAS SO GOOD! Truly decadence in every bite! Even though it's not overly sweet, as the chocolate flavour is strong, it did get a little cloying for me towards the last few bites of the slice, even though I'm a chocolate fanatic. 

No prize for guessing the 2nd flavour I chose to try. Welcome to my tummy, Biscoff Cheesecake!

Crunchy Biscoff biscuit crumbs and luxurious creamy cheesecake, the perfect combination! The unique spiced caramel notes of the Biscoff cookies cut through the richness of the cream cheese, providing a fragrant, delicious mouthful. The hints of cinnamon and brown sugar are sure to make your mouth water! 

I've made my own biscoff cheesecakes before, but definitely nowhere comparable to this decadent masterpiece. Rich, creamy and dense cheesecake that's both FILLED and TOPPED generously with crushed biscoff biscuits to give you the addictive caramalised flavour in every bite. I meant to share a slice with the HB, but somehow I just went on auto-pilot mode and finished up the entire slice of cake before I knew it. HAHA! 

And then, it's Burnt Cheesecake!

With a perfectly charred exterior to add a smokey depth to its flavour, and an oozy melty centire, this is sure to be a crowd pleaser. The crispy, slightly bitter burnt ends cut through the cheesiness and enhance its flavour. 

If you're typically not a fan of cheesecake as you find them too cloying, give the burnt cheesecake a try! The whole "burning" process not only added a nice caramelised flavour to the cheesecake, but also gave it a slight hint of the bitter charred flavour that cuts through the cloying heaviness of the cheesecake. 

Never a fan of Red Velvet, and it wasn't any different for this one. 

Fluffy and moist with just a hint of bittersweet cocoa powder, and frosted with rich savoury-sweet cream cheese, this is one addictive dessert. 

Ate a small bite (fork down the very tip of the slice) and left the rest to the HB, who loves Red Velvet to bits. Sorry, Red Velvet, it's not you it's me. I reckon it's the cream cheese frosting that totally puts me off, every single time. 

Even my parents, who knows nuts about cakes, commented that the Red Velvet is good after they shared a slice.
