My family loves durian and I am thankful for that because I am a fan of this delicious golden fruit too! Having them loving it means we get to eat it more often! Other than eating durians, we would sometimes indulge ourselves in durian cake and pastries especially when there are upcoming occasions, anniversary, birthdays etc (hint: Christmas is coming!) or on-going promotions. They make the best reasons in indulging yourself, don't they?
If you haven't already know of where to get the best durian cake, you can find it at Durian Cake Singapore. The owner started experimenting durian cakes and pastries from a home kitchen and refined her recipes along the way. She even rented a small kitchen space and enrolled herself in At-Sunrise GlobalChef Academy, just so that she could refine her craft and make her desserts better. Her journey reminded me so much of my own, constantly improving ourselves so that we can improve our craft, and that we all started from humble beginnings. Doesn't that gives you another reason to celebrate as well?
The Durian Bakery not only specializes in Durian Cakes, they are constantly upgrading themselves and coming out with more interesting varieties each year.
This time round, we got to sample their Classic Mao Shan Wang Durian Cake along with some pastries and desserts. They always have sale on their website so be sure to check them out when you are simply craving for durian cakes or have an upcoming occasion to celebrate.
I love the cheerful colours and beautiful layers of their 6" (15cm) Mao Shan Wang Classic Durian Cake and not to mention the pure meaty fleshy chunks of durian hidden in those layers, they tasted delicious although they were a little bitter. They looked beautiful with all those layers too! If you want them to feel firmer when cutting, simply put them into the chiller for a few hours before cake cutting. We skipped this as we didn't have any space in the chiller, which turned out fine as well saving us some time having to wait for the cake to defrost before cutting.
The 6"(15cm) Mao Shan Wang Classic Durian Cake is good for sharing with 5-8 persons but my family of 3 persons finished this in 2 sittings! We simply loved the cake so much! It is advisable to order only a size you can finish as they do not contain preservatives and are best consumed on the same day. You won't want to waste the baker's effort since they are baked on the same day with freshness guaranteed.
Because they have same day delivery, and free delivery when you purchase above $100 or there will be an additional $10 charge. So... why not...
why not take this opportunity to order some additional pastries to try out? We loved the Snowy D24 Durian Mochi so much too! Look at these cute little white balls that are so chewy! In it, you'll find more pure durian puree. Oh they are so yummss!!! I don't usually like mochi because of the thick skin outside but this one is really thin! Look at that stretch. They make a good mid-day snack when you take them out from the freezer, with the puree tasting like durian ice-cream.
Another of their must try is the MSW Burst Puff especially if you love puff pastries. This one has got to be one of my favourites, again credit goes to the Mao Shan Wang smooth, silky durian puree and of course the soft airy puff pastry shell. I can never have enough of them being a big puff pastry fan.
I loved that they also have the option to top up $5, for all these additional birthday accessories. They consist of a metal cake cutting knife, 10 pcs of golden candles and a large birthday topper (the one on the cake). These are good quality items which you can re-use, especially the metal cake knife.
Tempted to try already? Their last delivery slot is at 10pm. If you prefer to self pick-up, you can do so at 2 Jalan Lokam, Kensington Square #01-47 Singapore 537846. While they are available from 9-6pm, for self-collection, kindly note that the collection time is till 7pm and these are for online orders only.
