Sweets
Dee Bakes
Truly food-porn at its finest, Dee Bakes’ specialty stuffed brownies (S$26, six pieces) will satiate your sweet tooth – think Oreo Cheesecake with Nutella oozing out and decadent Dark Chocolate Sea Salt – along with indulgent NYC Cookies (S$28, six pieces) and Brown Butter Cookies with Valrhona Chocolate (S$26, eight pieces). Celebrating something? She’s got you covered with customised designs and of course, her famously elaborate money-pulling cakes.

Whites Bakery
What’s better than regular macarons? Thicc Korean fatcarons that go extra on the filling, of course. Whites Bakery’s OTT sweet bakes will take more than a bite to get through as you sink your teeth through popular flavours such as Hojicha Kurogama, Nutella Ferrero Rocher and the locally-inspired MIlo Style and Teh Tarik (S$30 for a set of six pieces). They also do a pretty mean Basque Burnt Cheesecake.

Flowers
Wildflowertheory
Tie the knot with a romantic bouquet in hand, courtesy of Wildflowertheory. Their forte lies in arrangements of classic blooms with seasonal choices, guided by your colour preference that will add vibrant pops to your photos – think golden ranunculus, burgundy peonies and soft shades of Dutch carnations paired with eryngiums. Bouquets aside, they also create bloomboxes, breathtaking centrepiece decor, flower crowns and floral arches for weddings and solemnisations.
