Want to add some cake or cheesecake to those flowers perhaps?

For a city filled with bakers, the minimum advance order deadlines on most, are not great for that piece of spontaneous cake. However, we did manage to find a few gems who will oblige us with last minute orders and delivery options. For Cheesecake, Cat and the Fiddle offer premium cheesecakes in 15 original flavours specially created by Singapore’s iconic dessert chef, Daniel Tay. For cakes there’s always The Cake Shop that provides same day delivery service seven days a week, including Sundays.
