The Patissier’s Father’s Day Special: Pistachio Chestnut Cake
We can’t deliver enough praise for The Patissier’s cakes and they have impressed us once more! While their Mother’s Day version was a mix of white chocolate and oolong tea, they have brought their A-game with this Pistachio Chestnut masterpiece. Go nuts with the balance of the two, featuring the softness of the chiffon sponge and texture of the pistachio praline base -- truly the epitome of deliciousness.

The Tiramisu Hero’s Tiramisu
Show your father he’s the hero of your life with The Tiramisu Hero. This customisable cake allows you to create the perfect surprise for your father. Start out with choosing your preferred cake size (go for the single serving if he prefers devouring it all, but the CamoHero would definitely remind him of his army days) and select his favourite flavour out of the twelve. But that’s not all: you get to choose the wetness, alcohol, and sweetness level to get that perfect combination. Delicious!

Once Upon a Table’s Blueberry Sunrise
Switch things up a bit with Once Upon a Table’s selection of fairytale desserts. With the selection of simple cakes that hit the spot, you know your father will be satisfied with your choice, no matter which of the beautiful cakes you decide to choose. Go for the Blueberry Sunrise for a generous fruity kick to wrap up a Father's Day feast wonderfully (or the Irish Cream, if he likes a hint of alcohol!).

Flor Patisserie’s Selections
There’s a delicate precision to Flor’s cakes that make them undeniably appealing. Looking through the cake selection, it is evident that they offer a wide variety of options, each one too amazing to ignore. Try the strawberry cakes if he's one for classic flavours, or opt for the Marumi green tea sponge cake for a matcha twist. Think a little out of the box and order the Blue Donut for a little extra surprise for your father.

Pine Garden’s Coffee Whisky Caramel Cake
The Pine Garden started out in Ang Mo Kio, but its delicious cakes have made its way all around our little island. For this Father’s Day, treat your father with a delectable Coffee Whisky Caramel Cake. With each layer providing a sumptuous mix of whisky caramel drizzle, coffee jelly, and a beautiful sponge cake, this cake is sure to be a hit at the dining table.

Emicakes’ Emoji Cakes
Whether it be for the father that just figured out how emojis work, or the father who uses only emoji to text, this cake is a nice nod to his texting habits. Choose between the three choices: clever, with the glasses; cool, a winky face; and suave, with sunglasses. The icing on top of the yellow cake is the moustache that adorns all their faces. The perfect thing is that you can choose the flavours that lie beneath the bright yellow cake, like eggless black forest and even Mao Shan Wang!

Edith Patisserie’s Coffee Kahlua Cake
Get spoiled for choices here. While the Milo cake and Black Sesame cake provide tough competition, try the June Special, a Coffee Kahlua Cake specially crafted with fathers in mind. Mixed with the tantalising flavours of coffee liqueur and rum, this cake mixes together his favourite things with a beautifully frosted cake. And did we mention it has vanilla macarons at the top too? Urgh, the perfect indulgence!

Cat and the Fiddle’s King Cat of the Mountain
Here’s the thing: a father is much like a durian. Occasionally hard on the outside, but soft and gooey on the inside. And this King Cat of the Mountain cake will definitely put a smile on his face. The durian that layers the top of the cake is reminiscent of Singapore’s own Esplanade, and the durian sponge cake and cream cheese makes it a winning combination. Who knew durian and cheese would go so well together?

The Ugly Cake Shop’s “Fried Chicken” Cornbread Cake
Unfortunately, the magnificent topping is not included alongside this cake, but this unique rendition of your father’s love for fried chicken definitely takes the cake. While The Ugly Cake Shop has a few other safer options for you to consider (salted caramel, dark chocolate, and a super chocolatey cake, just to name a few), the fried chicken cornbread cake was too creative to ignore. The mix of sweet and salty works amazingly well together. And, for the piece de resistance, get some fried poultry to complete the look.

Cake Spade’s Strawberry Heart Cheesecake
The name might induce a sigh from him (not yet another shopping trip), but this place is more for tasty indulgences -- think cakes and pastries. Located in a bright pink shophouse along Tanjong Pagar, enter cake heaven as you search amongst its large selection of cakes to find one fitting for your father. Try the Mango Tofu Cheesecake, or a strawberry heart cheesecake to show your love for him.
