Caribbean Surfari – Cat & the Fiddle
If you can't seem to imagine how coconut, pineapple and cheesecake can come together to form a delicious piece of cake, you're probably not alone. Caribbean Surfari touts itself as a piña colada cheesecake, and tastes surprisingly as yummy as the cocktail itself, in a mild cheesecake form that's not too overwhelming. If you'd like to try this exotic cake for yourself, take note that Cat & the Fiddle does not have a walk-in cafe, so you'll have to order the cake online. They serve an assortment of other flavours as well, but this stands out as one of the more interesting ones you won't want to miss.

Lychee Rose Cake – Edith Patisserie
Instead of the term wacky, this cake comes across as a unique creation that would be a lovely addition to any festivity. Perhaps it could be considered as a wonderful blend of a fruit cake and a tea cake, with scents of rose and bits of real lychee pieces experienced in every bite. Not only does this cake taste good, it looks magical as well, so don't forget to take lots of photos before it gets into your tummy!

Maple Sweetcorn Dendeng – Fluff Bakery
Perhaps this serves as the halal rendition of maple bacon cupcakes, but we think the novelty of delights at this bakery deserves a good mention here anyway. This unique flavour probably won't be available when you decide to patronise Fluff Bakery in the next few days, since the shop introduces new flavours every single week without fail. However, the great thing is that you'll get to taste different flavours each time you return. We love how owner and head baker Nursyazanna Syaira dares to experiment with the boldest of flavours to give customers the best (cup)cake experience of their lives!

Fuji – Ciel Pâtisserie
You've probably never heard or seen anything like this before, have you? Fuji is essentially a green tea mousse with a surprise lychee gelee centre placed carefully onto a soft, green tea sponge base. It looks interesting, tastes interesting and will probably be one of the tastiest and most affordable cakes you can get in this city. Ciel Pâtisserie aims to bring a whole new experience with French pastries and desserts to Singaporeans, by using only the finest ingredients in the baking process. While you're there, you've got to try the other desserts available as well, before you regret it.

This unassuming bakery in the humble Ang Mo Kio neighbourhood is known to create a range of interesting and exotic cake flavours that will certainly pique your curiosity. This avocado gula melaka cake is just one of the many options you'll have when selecting a cake that's out of the ordinary.

Why pick the usual chocolate or cheese cake when you can choose a lychee martini cake instead?

Cake is a well-loved dessert far and wide, usually eaten during celebrations such as birthdays or simply as a satisfying way to end off a meal. In fact, cakes can be eaten at any time of the day, as breakfast, tea or even supper, as long as you crave a little bit of sweetness in your mouth. The health-conscious may be concerned about the amount of calories consumed when it comes to a slice of cake, but the foodies may just argue that the calories are well worth it.

In recent years, it seems that typical cake flavours have not been enough to feed consumer demand. Nowadays, we’re constantly on the look out for something different – something to excite our tastebuds. Perhaps this search for change has sparked the introduction of unique and wacky cake flavours that are on the rise these days, ranging from a yummy salted caramel cake to the likes of white chocolate Kyoho grape.

In this article, we attempt to showcase the most unique cake flavours that can be found in this tiny city. You may or may not fancy them, but perhaps you know someone who will, and then you’ll know what to get for his or her next birthday.
