throughout the month of July, they are selling their macarons at just $0.90 each! If you’ve yet to try out this cute French pastry, this is the perfect opportunity! With over a dozen flavors, there’s something for everybody.

Wait, that’s not all. They have also slashed the prices for some of their cakes by more than half!

1. Chocolate Amer (flourless chocolate sponge layered with bitter chocolate mousse, serves 6-10)
2. Cookies & cream cheesecake (studded with cookie crumble and sprinkled with crushed cookie bits, serves 8-10)
3. New York cheesecake (cream cheese coated with a tangy strawberry glaze, serves 8-10)

Imagine getting a whole cookies and cream cheesecake for less than $20! That’s a massive discount!

If you’re celebrating a loved one’s birthday this month, why not get him or her an affordable Bakerzin cake?

And that’s the rich & good cake shop! That’s what they call themselves. My, rather ambitious aren’t they? This 16 year old bakery specialises in Swiss rolls, and has my Mom and I as die-hard fans! My bro would get these puffy and spongy pasteries for us each time he passes by Arab street.

Not to be missed is the kaya (creamy coconut jam) Swiss roll. It’s not the hottest-selling flavor for nothing.

Kaya Swiss Roll
SGD12 for a box of 2

The creamy kaya filling tastes rich and fragrant, without being too sweet at the same time. Ahhh… Pure joy!

You know how you sometimes get that dry mouth feel after eating cake? You wouldn’t get that from eating the Swiss rolls here. They have such ample layers of moist filling that you would just keep eating more and more!

Durian Swiss Roll
SGD12 for a box of 2

Durians, you either love ‘em or hate ‘em. I belong to the latter camp but the people I love love durians! I haven’t personally sampled the durian rolls but I know that durian fans would find these irresistable. Made with authentic d24 durians, you can actually see and taste the chunks of durian flesh within the rolls!

One interesting thing about the Swiss rolls here is that they are sold in their whole, uncut forms. So for $10 to $12, you get two foot-long rolls of the delicious yummies! They come in long boxes colored in a gentle shade of baby pink too. Sweet!

Here’s a complete list of the available flavors:

- blueberry
- chocolate
- coffee
- durian
- kaya
- mango
- strawberry
- others

Hmm… I wonder what these mysterious “others” might possibly be. If anyone finds out, please let me know!

As it turns out, the art of Turkey stuffing is lost not just with my family but also at the place where I got the Turkey — the stuffing did not taste good! But! I’m not gonna complain further because that wouldn’t be very Christmasy, would it? The only thing that matters is that we got together as a family to have a Christmas lunch. And that’s what counts. Yum!

Must have Christmas log cake too. A Christmas just isn’t complete without a log cake! And it must be a chocolate cake of course. None of those fancy durian or mocha flavors please! I have been wondering why log cakes feature heavily in Christmas. Turns out that it’s a yuletide tradition to burn large tree logs during Christmas. Well, there you go!

Happy boxing day!
