So you've prepared a sumptuous meal to celebrate Mother's Day at home, but all that's left is dessert. With pastry establishments only resuming operations from May 12 onwards due to circuit breaker measures, where else can you obtain baked goodies in time to complete the feast?
Below are some of our favourite Singapore eateries that offer cakes for delivery or takeaway.
Antoniette
Trust chef Pang Kok Keong to satisfy multiple cravings: Cake and bubble tea pearls. Antoinette's award-winning Earl Grey Bubble Tea Cake is certainly a family pleaser. Who can say no to the combination of salted cream cheese topped with chewy black sugar pearls and fresh mango? Other options include the dreamy rose and raspberry Super Lova, also another award-winner.
Orders must be placed at least three days in advance and there is also an islandwide delivery charge of S$8 with a minimum order of S$55.
Candlenut
Go Asian with Candlenut's Kueh Salat if the mother requests for something more traditional. This Peranakan confection, a chef Malcolm Lee signature, is a visual and tasty treat. Constructed with smooth coconut pandan custard on the blue pea glutinous rice base, you'll definitely want to have second helpings.
Order via online through the COMO Dempsey website.
Culina
Made exclusively for Mother's Day, Culina Market’s limited cake features a generous layer of luscious strawberry rhubarb cream sandwiched between two vanilla sponges soaked in-house strawberry syrup.
Also, the cream shells on the surface are created using vanilla white chocolate whipped ganache and strawberry crémeux.
This cake is available for takeaway at Culina from 3 to 10 May 2020 and orders can be made via email.
Goodwood Park Hotel
If your mom is a fan of the King of Fruits, gift her the delectable durian creations from Goodwood Park Hotel. The Deli at Goodwood Park Hotel is offering their Durian Fiesta for takeaway and delivery. Consider the D24 Galaxy Ice Cream Roll, which envelops a starry illustration on a layer of sponge wrapped around delightfully smooth house-churned D24 durian ice cream.
Other highlights include the new D24 Nutty Delight that pairs peanut butter with D24 durian mousse and D24 Summer Dream, a floral and fruit studded jelly cake topped with creamy D24 durian mousse.
Order online through Goodwood Park Hotel's website.
LeVeL33
Introduced together with LeVeL33's Mother’s Day Weekend Roast special, the whole Lemon Cheesecake makes an excellent choice. It may look rich and creamy but there's a focus on low-carb and diabetic-friendly. Perfect for even the most calorie-conscious mum.
Orders can be made through a Whatsapp text to +65 8511 4613.
Olivia Restuarant & Lounge
We've previously raved about this molten gem and there's no better time to give it a try. Olivia's creamy cheesecake hails from Spain and its warm gooey centre. Unlike its fluffy flan cousin, the soft innards made from a compatible mixture of blue cheese and cream cheese.
Psst, try teasing your mom by divulging that the cake was intentionally burnt before explaining its origins.
Order online through Olivia Restaurant and Lounge's website or by phone at +65 6221 0522.
Paris Baguette
A go-to for Hallyu buffs, this prominent Korean bakery has released two new cakes that celebrate Mother's love. Express gratitude with the Strawberry Blossom Cake—a light, vanilla sponge layered cake with fresh cream, strawberries. Truly perfect with tea.
Otherwise, Cacao lovers can opt for the Chocolate Blossom Cake. which swapped out the vanilla for chocolate sponge and dark chocolate cream.

Shangri-La Hotel Singapore
Maman, which sounds like an ode to all mamas in this world, is Shangri-La Hotel Singapore's exquisite cake creation. Made of Lime Sponge, Peach Compote, and Sakura and Mascarpone Mousse, this vibrant rose-red cake sports intricate decorated details like a pink rose laboriously made of sugar and dotted with mini sugar pearls that reflect the warmth and generosity of a mother’s love.

Violet Oon
Up for a savoury cake? Violet Oon's Yam Cake will certainly be an unexpected choice. Fragrant yam topped with fried shallots, dried prawns and diced Chinese sausages, nobody can predict this unorthodox choice.
Otherwise, play it safe with Pandan Gula Melaka with Coconut Crunch. Violet Oon’s signature cake focuses on local flavours such as the pandan infused sponge and a generous layer of Gula Melaka syrup.
