1. Paris Baguette: Chocolate Teatra Earl Grey Cake

What is better than a hot cup of tea? A tea-infused cake, of course! If Dad is a tea lover, Paris Baguette’s one-of-a-kind Chocolate Teatra Earl Grey Cake may do just the trick to delight his taste buds.

Made with Teatra Teas, an exclusive line of speciality teas by Paris Baguette, the Chocolate Teatra Earl Grey Cake is a decadent chocolate sponge cake layered with delightful white chocolate cream and mousse.

Its uniqueness lies with the infusion of Paris Baguette’s premium Young Grey Tea which is a unique blend of Chinese Black Tea and a touch of Earl Grey, bringing a perfect balance of sweet and smoky flavours to the cake.

It is now available for pre-order at S$60 from 7 to 17 June on Paris Baguette’s website and at all operating outlets. On top of that, Paris Baguette is offering 10% off when you pre-order the Chocolate Teatra Earl Grey Cake through their website during these dates.

Otherwise, the cake will also be available to order from 18 to 20 June via Grabfood for island-wide delivery or in-store at the following outlets: Wisma Atria, Bugis Junction, Jem, NEX, Northpoint City, 313@Somerset, Suntec City, Hong Leong, and Maison de PB at Jewel Changi Airport.

All purchases of the Father’s Day cake comes with a free Paris Baguette Cake Tote Bag, which entitles you to S$5 off for any whole cake purchase from now till 31 June (while stocks last).

2. Tablescape: Chocolate Praline Cake

Decadent, sweet, and delicious — you can never go wrong with chocolate cake, so may we tempt you with Tablescape’s Chocolate Praline Cake that not only features rich dark chocolate but is also layered with hazelnut praline and crunchy feuilletine?

And even though it sounds incredibly indulgent, you’ll be surprised at how reasonably priced this cake is – it’s going at just S$34.20 for 500g which feeds up to four to six persons, and S$52.20 for 1kg, suitable for eight to 10.

If you wish to customise it, Tablescape offers a complimentary cake message of up to three words. Do note that advanced orders are to be made two days before.

3. The Deli at Goodwood Park Hotel: Longevity Buns

As Father’s Day is a day to show our appreciation for our dads’ selflessness and contributions, it’s only apt that we gift them a meaningful cake that symbolises long life, right?

The Deli at Goodwood Park Hotel is dishing out 3-Tier Longevity Buns Set that we think would be perfect for more traditional fathers.

Specially crafted by the dim sum chefs at Goodwood Park Hotel’s Min Jiang restaurant, the Longevity Bun set includes 18 pieces that come in an assortment of flavours such as Iberico ‘Char Siew’, White Lotus Seed Paste, Yam Paste with Gingko Nut, and Salted Egg Yolk Custard.

Priced from S$52.80 onwards, this 3-tier Longevity Bun Set is only available from 19 June to 31 August and must be ordered three days in advance on The Deli’s website.

4. The Pine Garden: Chocolate Whisky Cigar Roll

Ask any whiskey-loving dad what could possibly be the best match made in heaven, and it’s likely that chocolate and whiskey would be his answer – which we found in the form of a cake by The Pine Garden!

With the unique-looking Chocolate Whisky Cigar Roll, the underlying bold alcohol bite in the form of a whiskey jelly is perfectly balanced by the bittersweet lingering flavour of chocolate, making this a great smokin’ (pun intended) creation to treat Dad to on this special occasion.

If you prefer something with a more local twist, check out The Pine Garden’s Black Sesame Mochi Cheesecake (S$46 for 0.5kg, S$65 for 1kg) which we think is a perfect local treat to end the night on a sweet note with bits of mochi texture, rich black sesame flavour, and a velvety cheesecake finish.

Order the Chocolate Whisky Cigar Roll now on The Pine Garden’s website at S$38. To celebrate this joyous occasion, The Pine Garden will be offering an early bird discount of 10% off for orders placed by 13 June.

5. Janice Wong: Father’s Day Cake

Janice Wong’s Father’s Day Cake delivers a delectable pairing of roasted coffee and chocolate, perfect for all caffeine-fuelled and chocoholic dads out there.
