Cake Spade

We got the 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙬𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙮 𝙩𝙤𝙛𝙪 𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙠𝙚 ($7.20) which seems to be their highlight. It tasted similar to the strawberry jelly heart cheesecake at that comes in squares but lighter on the richness and cheesiness. Just like tofu, the silky smooth cake melted in my mouth almost immediately. I loved that the tart strawberry jelly and crumbly cookie base cut through the creaminess of the tofu cheese in between, making it not cloying at all! Very addictive 😚 [9/10]

The 𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙥𝙥𝙞 𝙨’𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙨 𝙘𝙖𝙠𝙚 ($8.50) was very rich and fudgy. The spongy layers of cake in between were soft and fluffy. However, we found it too sweet and heavy for our liking (may be great if you’ve a sweet tooth!). 🍫 [7/10]

The 𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙨 𝙘𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙞𝙚 𝙗𝙪𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙠𝙚 ($8.90) had a perfect consistency without being too dry with crunchy bits of the caramel biscuit. Lotus biscoff lovers should give this a try! 😋 [8/10]

Cake Spade has been pretty public about the closure of their outlet at South Bridge Road — an established brand name which has been business for slightly past a decade, Cake Spade has shifted quite a number of times around the Tanjong Pagar / Maxwell neighbourhood over the years; prior to its shift to South Bridge Road, they had occupied the ground floor of a shophouse unit at Tanjong Pagar Road — that would be subsequent to their original location within the nearby Orchid Hotel. While their very first location at Orchid Hotel is now occupied by Ryo Sushi, the shifting of Cake Spade out of South Bridge Road also can be seen as somewhat of a home-coming for them considering how they have returned to Orchid Hotel, but at another unit just few steps from their original location back then. Offering quite a variety of sliced cakes as well as other bakes such as brownies and cookies, the interior of the shop space is very much dedicated to their food preparation area, cashier as well as the display fridges and shelves — the dine-in seating comprises of low tables and chairs being placed outside of the shop. For those whom are familiar with Cake Spade, the range of cakes available at their current location is about the same as compared to what they had offered back when they were in Tanjong Pagar and South Bridge Road; the list of beverages available includes various selections of tea, espresso-based specialty coffee etc. just like how it was previously.

The Strawberry Tofu Cheesecake is probably the hallmark of Cake Spade’s creations — possibly been one of the most mentioned Tofu Cheesecakes during the height of such cheesecakes, the Strawberry Tofu Cheesecake features elements such as strawberries, strawberry jelly, unbaked cheesecake and digestive cookie crust. Taking a slice of the Strawberry Tofu Cheesecake, one would be able to have a taste of all of the elements together — the Tofu Cheesecake itself was surprisingly light and creamy; a little different from the usual New York Cheesecake in a way that it is not quite as rich and dense. Sitting on top of the tofu cheesecake layer would be the strawberries and strawberry jelly — quite similar to what TheJellyHearts offer, the strawberries and strawberry jelly adds that slight zingy and tangy note that cuts through the tofu cheesecake, providing a slight contrast of flavours. Beneath the Tofu Cheesecake is a layer of digestive cookie crust — an element which one would usually be able to find in a New York-style Cheesecake; adds a layer of crunch and some sweetness to the Strawberry Tofu Cheesecake to balance things off.

always saw people talked the cake from cake spade and reminded me of "kate spade" brand tbh.

Strawberry Shortcake ($6.22 b4 gst & service charge)

Lychee Earl Grey Iced Tea ($7.38 b4 gst & service charge)

Kyoto Matcha Cheesecake ($9.16 b4 gst & service charge)

not that bad as I really like their cookie base to be crunchy and not that hard (easily to cut through). Their cheesecake just nice and not that milky and creamy texture.

Hot Granny Smith Matcha Latte ($6.45 b4 gst & service charge)

never tried something beyond matcha latte. they added apple syrup inside drink for granny smith (but supposed to be sour) made a bit sweet to reduce bitter taste from matcha. good for people to prefer sweetness over bitterness.

Cake O'Clock with Cake Spade’s fluffy Lychee Rose Cake and fudgey Biscoff Cookie Midnight Brownie. 

Diggin’ their pretty-in-pink 2-storey flagship cafe at the foot of Ann Siang Hill, I recall having their signature cheesecakes but this time I got the staff-recommended vanilla angelfood cake with lychee and rosewater cream which was perfect for an after-meal treat. Right up my alley, the slice was refreshing and light. The floral-y flavour of the rose wasn’t too in the face and balanced nicely with the sweetness of the fruit. The Biscoff Cookie Midnight Brownie, in contrast, was rich and chocolatey. Not dense or dry and none too sweet, it didn’t feel jelat in my opinion. There were bits of the caramel-y biscoff cookies studded in the bar too so that added some fun textures to the black cocoa brownie.

Cake Spade classic tofu cheesecake is the unbaked version. Golden Lychee version contains pineapple jelly and lychee. Love the generous portion of lychee. I also ordered a pot of Pink Flamingo Tea ($7.50) to pair with, which is Hibiscus green tea with fruity notes. Lovely dessert combination
