Our Story
thecakelore offers a variety of baked goods - bento cakes, wedding cakes, tiered cakes, floral cakes, cupcakes - you name it, and we will (probably) have it! If not, feel free to drop a request via Instagram or email :)
This passion project started 3 years ago, back when the baker was bored in university. This humble home bakery started with cake jars and jelly cheesecake jars. We don't have those anymore, but if you would like to try them, let us know!
Looking forward to baking for you and your loved ones!
Our Cakes: What makes us different?
Less sweet. Very, very much less sweet. And yet, still really yummy.
thecakelore does not use fondant (unless it's a fondant topper). Fondant is sickeningly sweet, pasty, hard to eat...no one needs fondant. Drop an enquiry to check if your desired cake design can be replicated with Italian meringue buttercream.

"Ordered a customised cake for my son's birthday with very specific requests... 4 year old wanted a "pink MRT cake".. Shuen definitely made it happen! Cake was great but most special was the buttercream frosting and design - rare nowadays with all the fondant going around... Thumbs up! If your child (or you) like something out of the ordinary, try her! I'm sure she won't disappoint"

"The cake was easily one of the best I've had so far. The design was too pretty that my mum couldn't bear to cut it! The chiffon was soft and texture was just right and we could really taste the strawberry-yoghurtness. Loved that you added in the strawberry puree in the buttercream too. Wish I had ordered a bigger size bcos 6 inches wasn't enough! Will definitely recommend you to my friends too for future custom cakes. Thanks again Shuen, for your great work, both on the cake design and taste"
