Throwing a National Day Parade viewing party? How ’bout going all out patriotic and adding a dessert table to your buffet spread with these little Singapore flag-inspired cupcakes by One Third Pastries. The crescent and five stars ones in red and white go for $18.90 for a box of 12 mini cream ones, but if you wanna go the whole hog and splurge, get 12 customised treats for $51. Iconic local attractions are stamped on each cupcake — think the Merlion, Marina Bay Sands and the Singapore Flyer.
For something a little more elegant and majestic, look to And All Things Delicious for the reappearance of its SG50 creation. A two-tiered red-and-white cake ($135-$275/whole cake), the gula melaka goodie is a fluffy, vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream-covered creation decorated with strawberries and glittering, golden cake toppers in the shape of a crescent moon and five stars.
Alternatively, there’s the National Day white peach cake ($9/slice or $58/whole cake) at SweetSpot in Marina Bay Sands. The red-and-white round replica of the nation’s flag features elements made of feuilletine, sitting on an almond sponge with peach jelly and mousse.
