This year, i was made to order my own birthday cake... So i purposely order cake which cost more than usual to make my friends pay.. Haha... Kind of evil of me... But at least they enjoy the cake... I do think their cakes is really one of the best in Singapore.. Coz usually customers will bring cakes to the restaurant and ask us to portion for them... Haha... So i will usually taste a bit of it...Really a bit.. What to do?? Chefs mah... All about food tasting to improve ourselves... haha..
So i order Passion Friut Meringue which is their signature and it really lives up to its name...It is very refreshing with all the fruits inside... One of my friends even commented that this is the best cake she ever tasted...When offered her the 2nd piece, she was so pai seh to accept it saying that she was full... But i knew that she would like another piece... Haha... Feel good when someone appreciate the food...

I've been a fan of Patissier since 3 years ago when i was surfing the net to find for my own birthday cake.

I was initially shocked at the price (and mind you, it steadily increases as the new years pass), but the quality makes up for it. It pays to be their member too, as you get bigger discounts over their seasonal cakes.

My first try was the Cocoa Nepolean - rich and melts in your mouth feeling. I like the crunchy biscuity base too. I also tried their other cakes along the way, but i have to say that i love their signature Passionfruit Meringue. My girlfriends find it abit sour, but i'm a sucker for sour stuff! You can't quite describe the texture.. It looks crispy on the outside but it's so nice and soft on the inside. Yummy!

My only disappointment was this Rose and Lychee flavoured Mother's Day cake i bought last year (or 2 years ago i can't remember). It just tasted.. Odd. I mean, there were some rose petals inside the cake.

Nonetheless, i will still go back to them to whenever i need a cake. Especially with the Prima Deli saga, it is always safer to buy from smaller cake shops. You won't be disappointed.

We've heard good comments about The Patissier and so decided to give it a try for a recent celebration.

Got the Passion Fruit Merringue and that was excellent! The other reviews below were spot on. I don't usually eat cakes because I find most either too sweet or heavy. Also am wary of fruit based cakes because many tend to have a sharp citrus taste that overpowers. But not so here! The cake was light and fluffy, almost melts in your mouth and has the right amount of passion fruit in it. Almost can kid yourself that there aren't too many calories in the cake! :)

Good stuff.

It's expensive though, around $45 for 500g. It'll be one of those things I'll reserve for a special occasion.

The Patissier is located near Banoo, Azhang and Papi (between Azhang and Papi to be exact) and is know to be an upmarket place for very nice cakes.

Having ordered a few really nice ones from Canele, we decided to try Patissier this time for our rich sinful afternoon snack.

EMPEROR CAKE
This 1 kg cake was only about 10 inches in diameter and about 2 inches high so it was DENSE!! Basically a chocolate mousse/cream cake with a layer of raspberry jelly in between on a crisp bisquitty base. Alcoholic content was quite evident in one of the layers.

Very rich, not too sweet, with the raspberry layer breaking the jelak effect of the very rich layers of chocolate.

$70 plus is a lot but it is quality. But a bit heartache spending that sort of money of 1 kg of cake. But I suppose it is hard to compare this with - 2 roast ducks and lots of rice OR - 24 plates of chicken rice OR - 70 curry puffs. If it had cost $40-50, I would have rated it at higher value.
