Out
of the Cake Box is a small patisserie that had opened in 2014. It was located
in telok blangah neighbourhood, selling freshly baked cakes and biscuits complemented
with gourmet coffee and tea.
It
is conveniently located opposite to the telok blangah mrt, making it very
accessible to visit. It not only sells freshly baked cakes and biscuits, it
also offers dessert bar services and conduct baking and decorating workshops.
The
entire café was small with simple white finishing. There are two tables indoor
to provide diners with the ability to have high tea and desserts. To cater to
more customers, there is a outdoor seating table.
We
visit during a Sunday afternoon, 1 hour before the closing time, so many of the
cakes were sold out by then. I managed to call in to reserve the hot selling
mango sticky rice cake.
Since
cakes are expected to be on a sweet side, one can compliment it with coffee and
tea to prevent the taste from feeling too sick of the taste.
The
biscuits are really popular as during our time dining there, we witness a few
customers visiting the café just to buy the biscuits.
After
a couple of failed attempt, we finally try their famous mango sticky rice cakes
($6). In addition, we managed to try Belgian Truffle ($6.50), B.B.C.C ($5.50)
and Millionaire’s Tart ($6).
B.B.C.C
is a very interesting cake. It was a fusion between the traditional local
dessert, Bo Bo Cha Cha and the ice-cream wafer biscuits. To create the bo bo cha cha taste, soft and
jelly-like purple sweet potato mousse were sandwiches by the wafer biscuits and
like fluffy sponge cake. Within the mousse, it was topped with yam, honey sweet
potato and colourful jellies. The sweet –smelling coconut taste from the mousse
helps to value-add the taste. It was a seasonal item so taste it when it is in
stock.

Millionaire's
tart contains a rich, buttery short crust base that is topped off with luscious
sea-salt caramel. A generous layer of slow-baked chocolate custard made from a
blend of quality Belgium chocolate and dark chocolate makes the tart chocolaty
but not overly sweet. It was really delicious.

Dark
chocolate truffle filling sandwich layers of moist chocolate sponge makes the
cakes really rich. OMG!! Really love at first bite. It was rich and
bitter-sweet. Although it was sinful
desserts but I don’t regret indulging in this delight.

Despite
the small retail store, it serves really interesting and yummy cake. Locating
at highly accessible yet quiet place helps to provide a hideout from the busyness
of the city. If you are keen, you can even go for courses too.
