Where to Buy a Simple Cake You Can Decorate Yourself in Singapore
Updated October 2026
Short answer: If you want a simple, pretty birthday cake that you can decorate yourself, our Create Your Own Ombre Cake is made exactly for that. You choose the colour, we bake a soft fresh cream cake with a smooth ombre finish, and you add your own toppers, figurines or candles at home. Prices start from $39.90 for a 5-inch cake, with island-wide delivery in Singapore.
It's our #1 best-selling cake, on our website and on Shopee, and the reason is simple: many people don't need a fully custom cake. They just need a beautiful base that matches their party.
Why choose a simple cake and decorate it yourself?
- It matches your theme perfectly. Already bought dinosaur figurines, a K-pop topper or your child's favourite toys? Put them on the cake and it fits the party instantly.
- It costs much less than a custom design. Fully customised cakes are priced by design. A simple ombre base plus your own toppers gives a personal look for a fraction of the cost.
- It's quick to order. Standard cakes need just 3 days' notice, compared with 5–7 days for fully custom designs.
- It's fun. Many families make decorating the cake part of the celebration.
Our customers say it best: one wrote, "It's simple and nice. Just add cake topper and it turns out amazing." Another added their own topper and said the cake "just looked amazing."
A simple, elegant cake for photoshoots
Clean, soft colours photograph beautifully, so many customers order this cake for birthday and milestone photoshoots, family portraits and couple shoots. A few tips for a great photo:
- Pick a colour that suits your backdrop. Pastels like pink, peach and Tiffany blue look soft and dreamy; black or purple give a bold, modern look.
- Keep it chilled until shoot time. Our cakes use fresh cream, and Singapore's heat softens cream quickly. Keep the cake in the fridge and take it out shortly before shooting.
- Shoot in natural light near a window rather than under direct sun.
How to decorate your cake at home
- Use food-safe toppers. Acrylic or card toppers on sticks work well. For toys or figurines, wash them first and wrap the base in a little cling wrap or place them on a small piece of baking paper.
- Add decorations just before serving or photos, so the cream stays neat.
- Keep it simple. One big topper or two or three figurines usually looks better than a crowded cake.
- Want a name or age? Add our chocolate letters and numbers when you order, or a birthday topper.
