Butter Studio (Takashimaya)

Was gifted this! Looks dense but actually texture is quite decent, was sufficiently moist. It had a weird taste tho I can’t rly pinpoint what it resembles. Cream cheese frosting is a bit sweet but they didn’t spam it and it’s easily removable so u can just choose to have less!

Just had to try their signature flavour - salted caramel red velvet cake coated in signature cream frosting topped with caramel popcorn and home cooked salted caramel drip! Got a “cakelet” so it was easily shared by 3 of us.

The cake was moist and the cream wasn’t too overwhelmingly sweet, so taste-wise this cake had a nice balance of both popular flavours without one overpowering the other. It was a pity that the popcorn and cones were soft though.

Sorry for the slightly inaccurate visual representation of this cake in my review picture - the cake shifted in the box so it is a little messy in the picture :( Do wish that the box came with some kind of support for the cake because I hardly shook it but it slid a little.

I bought these babies at the CNY fair at Takashimaya Square. This was the first sample I tried at Butter Studio booth. Sooo buttery, with a hint of salted egg. There was a blob of yellow jam on top, which I thot was salted egg jam. Very nice I liked it very much. Went home, opened it, and ate half the tub at one go 🤭

Got these babies at the CNY fair at Takashimaya Square. I liked that they were not sweet, with a lovely sourish tang from the pineapple filling. Couldn’t really taste very strong cheese flavor, just a subtle hint but it was there. Quite buttery, size quite big. I had to stop myself from eating more than 5 at one go.

Got these babies at the CNY fair at Takashimaya Square. The truffle aroma was so alluring, and the cookies were buttery and melt in the mouth. Wasn’t expecting much, but after tasting one, I had to get it. Parmesan and truffle combi really worked.

Can’t deny that Butter Studio’s bakes are super cute. I love the unicorn horn detail, and the frosting piped to look like a pretty unicorn’s mane and ears looks real cute but actually doesn’t come across very appetising due to the overly vibrant colours and thought of all the sugary sweetness.

I was actually pretty disappointed after taking my first bite into the cupcake. The red velvet cupcake was dry and almost hard.

Apart from how cute their cupcakes and cakes are, I’m not impressed by the taste. I wouldn’t recommend buying these cupcakes unless you just want something nice for show.
