Out Of The Cake Box (Telok Blangah)

Ah, cakes. Ever since I was a bovine, juvenile synthesis of a mortal known as a child, I’ve always had a sweet tooth and enjoyed tearing at the purity of my cavities with the innocent likes of chocolates, candies and other devilish confectionaries. The end result was a series of fortnightly trips to the dentist over the course of two years in my youth. Now, only perfection remains as the very teeth that I possessed to destroy have become polished tools of mastication that glisten with glorious lustre. As to whether I remain to write on psychedelics synthetic and organic, the answer still remains a mystery to my being. Now where was I? Oh yes, cakes.

Situated in a lovely little concrete neighbourhood at Telok Blangah, Out Of The Cake Box is a quaint little bakery that prides itself on its unique desserts that interprets local flavours, with pleasantly surprising results. The destination is a simple stone’s throw away from the station, making it the perfect pit-stop to indulge in some delightfully playful creations that remind us of a time that was.
-
Their Carrot Cake ($6.50++) is a perfect example of their efforts to incorporate traditional Singaporean flavours with classic dessert-making techniques. Every bite of the curious creation featured a spiced moist carrot sponge layered with hazelnuts and salted caramel cream cheese frosting, resulting in a sweet and savoury spoonful that is reminiscent of a traditional carrot cake serving. -
Next up was the Rose Lychee ($5.50++), a light and effervescent cake with an ethereal texture that played beautifully well with its subtle floral qualities. With rosewater sponge, fresh lychee cream, juicy lychee bits and strawberry jelly, this cake hit all the right spots for dessert on a warm summer afternoon.
-
The Millionaire Tart ($6++) was aptly named, for it was rich. Pure decadence arrived in the form of a slow-baked chocolate custard made from a blend of Belgium chocolate and dark chocolate on short crust pastry, with a savoury counterbalance lent by a topping of sea-salt caramel.

I absolutely adore this little cake shop. Looks nondescript and unassuming with its location in a HDB void deck. But have a go at their cakes, they're so refined and on par with those you'll get at your high class CBD patisseries.

My favourite part was the sticky rice layer in the mango sticky rice. Takoh means pandan leave basket in Thai and belle means beautiful - and that's what Takoh Belle was, a beautiful pandan-perfumed dessert.

Saw this on their Instagram — knew that I had to give it a go because of my love with Choux puffs. This one felt as though it was in the fridge for a while; a little dried out with the fillings being a wee bit icy. Otherwise, the XO Durian mousse is smooth and creamy, pungent and fibrous. The durian made from meringue gives it a bit of sweetness; encased a smaller Durian Puff within. Could imagine how this would be better if it’s fresher.

Happy Saturday happy pineapple tarts!

Thanks to Dana and @outofthecakebox I got to make a bunch of delicious, melt in your mouth, colorful flower pineapple tarts! Love them, can’t stop eating them....

It’s Out of the Cake Box’s third anniversary so many of their classes are on sale now! Quick try some! They are such a steal at $53.33, $73.33!

Instead of the usual coconut-ty fragrance that we are all familiar with, this cake is made with purple sweet potato mousse, with chunks of yam, sweet potato and jelly on a vanilla sponge cake. The cake itself gives off an earthy aroma due to the purple sweet potato, with the yam and sweet potato adding on the sweetness.
The wafers were slightly soggy and hard to munch on.

Headed all the way down to the original Telok Blangah outlet since a friend wanted to try their bakes out. An ode to the nostalgic Coconut Tart in terms of aesthetics, the one here comes with a modern twist for the flavour. Instead of coming with a crusty filling within, the one here comes filled with bananas and a hint of Kaya for a sweet, Pandan touch with the same, old-school coconut flavour we are fond with all with a crusty tart base that felt pretty fresh overall.

This is so fragrant, moist and light! It was gone in seconds! Favorite of all is the rose lychee. All so dainty!

We had 3 cakes and a tart. The rose lychee, takoh belle, Yuzu jasmine cakes and the millionaire tart!

Chendol Fudge - Gula Melaka sponge cake is layered alternately with coconut-Gula Melaka fudge, with classic Chendol fillings such as red bean and strips of green rice flour jellies.

This is my fav for the day - the millionaire - richness of chocolate, caramel and salt sprinkled on top

A lady's fav - lychee rose - so light and so good

Nothing compares to a handmade confection picked up at a homey bakery, better yet, while you're doing good at the same time. As part of giving back to the community, youths with disabilities from Rainbow Centre go on attachment with Out of the Cake Box, who help to nurture their talents in baking. Freshly baked daily, you should order the Takoh Belle ($50 for whole cake /$6.50 per slice). It's a delectable baked cheesecake that is infused with fresh pandan extract, topped with a frothy sweet corn mousse and a sturdy coconut custard. There's a lot going on, but thankfully the flavours are well-balanced, never overwhelming and it all comes together beautifully — just be sure to get every layer of the cake in a forkful! Pro tip: Keep your eyes peeled for their elusive Mango Sticky Rice ($48.80 for whole cake / $6 per slice) that is only available when Thai honey mangoes are in season!
Avg price: $10 per person

Interesting cake flavors and cookies! The watermelon adds a crunch to the cake unlike normal cakes!

Nothing compares to a handmade confection picked up at a homey bakery. The selection may be limited, but the cakes are freshly baked daily and the flavours are simply more divine — perfect for both young and old to enjoy! Case in point, the Takoh Belle ($50 for whole cake /$6.50 per slice) from Out of the Cake Box is a delectable baked cheesecake with a homegrown spin — it is infused with fresh pandan extract! The cheesecake is topped with a frothy sweet corn mousse before finishing off with a sturdy coconut custard. It's a lot going on, but thankfully the flavours are well-balanced, never overwhelming and it all comes together beautifully — just be sure to get every layer of the cake in a forkful! Plus, the garnishes here are top notch — just look at the takoh (it means little basket in Thai), which is made out of a strip of pandan leaf that cradles mini cubes of nata de coco and sweetened corn kernels. Pro tip: Keep your eyes peeled for their elusive Mango Sticky Rice ($48.80 for whole cake / $6 per slice) that is only available when Thai honey mangoes are in season!
*Whole cakes have to be ordered two days in advance

Stopped by this small, humble bakery at Telok Blangah for some cakes over the weekend and boy, they were good! I had a slice of the Pandan Cheesecake (highly recommended!) and the Jasmine Yuzu Cheesecake. Love how the layers are all distinctly flavourful on their own and yet they come together so beautifully! Must try!

When I wish for some caffeine but dun feel like having coffee, this shall do the trick! 😉

Generous amount of mango toppings and coconut glutinous rice sandwiched between light mango spongecake, managed to get this fusion cake with an Asian twist while mango is still in season.

每一年这天又来临了。
白发也多了，皮肤也干了，
我的心真的受伤了。"

Its a combi of Pandan Cheesecake, Sweet Corn Mousse & Coconut Custard. A very fragrant & delicious piece of cake. 👍😋

Very nice.

Surprise your guest with some local inspired flavours from Out Of The Cake Box such as Jaffa Crisps, Green Curry Tempeh, Chix Skin Pineapple Tarts, Cereal Prawn Cookies and Brown Butter Chicken Floss Loaf.

Chix Skin Pineapple Tart is my top favorite of sweet savoury combination, using crushed deep fried chicken skin and mixed into the all-butter pastry that enrobes the pineapple filling. Addictively yummy! You can still check them out at their pop up stall located at ION Orchard's Lunar New Year Festive Market at the Basement 4 Event Hall from now til 6th Feb.

Thank you @outofthecakebox so much for this awesome Tikam Tikam CNY gift box where I had fun poking into to get the goodies. 🙆🙆🙆

How about Kaya Lychee Cookies, Chicken Skin Pineapple Tart or Attap Chee Pineapple Tart?
Head on down to ION B4 for more of the special CNY goodies. They will be there till 6 feb!! Thank you @outofthecakebox for this Tikam Tikam box. My family have fun poking them & enjoying the yummy goodies!! 😄
