With the circuit breaker measures still in place, a celebratory Mother’s Day dinner at a restaurant is out of the question. But you can still throw mum a party at home, complete with some of the most scrumptious cakes available in Singapore delivered right to your doorstep. Here are nine of our favourites.
KUEH SALAT – CANDLENUT
Spoil mum with this decadent take on a Peranakan favourite by chef Malcolm Lee. His signature (and possibly most popular) confection features a delightful balance of a glutinous rice base, tinged with a blue hue from blue pea flowers, and an addictive, delicate-as-clouds pandan custard that you'll be wishing you could also have on its own.

OLIVIA CREAMY CHEESECAKE – OLIVIA RESTAURANT & LOUNGE
Bring home a slice of Spain this Mother’s Day with sous chef Celina Franco’s cheesy, gooey confection. Perfect for mums who like the soft-centre variety (instead of the flan version), this cheesecake combines a crusty base loaded with an indulgent mix of cream cheese and blue cheese. Heat it up before you serve to mum, so it literally oozes with every bite.

NEW YORK CREAM CHEESE CAKE – MEZZA9
This variety has all the elements of what makes a classic New York cream cheesecake. The most important of which is the airy sponge with a rich and sinful layer of cream cheese filling, made more decadent with a thick coating of slightly scorched cream cheese. It’s also crowned with glazed fresh strawberries. An advanced order of 72 hours is required for deliveries and takeaways.

MONOCHROME CAKES – PRELUDIO
Chef-owner Fernando Arevalo has brought back the Monochrome theme, the first chapter of Preludio, to create visually-pleasing cakes. Naturally, the two flavours are black and white. The former is made with dark chocolate and caramel, its bittersweet taste offset by citrusy notes from orange and calamansi. The latter is an enhanced version of carrot cake, studded with walnuts and blanketed in mascarpone cheese.
