Cakes and pastries
Breadtalk
Bread and pastries get a purple treatment at Breadtalk in celebration of Mother’s Day. The stunner Yammy Mummy ($38.80) is an exclusive ombre treat that hides layers of yam chiffon, yam filling, and soft pudding cubes. Warm the belly with bakes of Yummy Croissant ($2.50), filled with mocha and yam paste; blueberry cheese brioche ($4.80), yam buns ($3.80), and more. Don’t miss out on the online-only Rolling with Yam ($12.80), a Japanese roll cake studded with yam pudding. Then, wash it all down with some freshly brewed Pur-tato Soy Milk ($2.40), or butterfly pea lemonade ($2.40).
Paul
The ever-popular Fraisier gets an elegant treatment at Paul. Macaron Garden Fraisier Cake ($68) is a gorgeous pink-hued sweet treat made with soft layers of Genoese sponge mousseline cream and fresh strawberries. Decorating the cake is a circle of mini macarons, berries, and sugar daisies – almost like an edible bouquet. For something more personal, consider the Do-It-For-Your-Mama Cake ($48). A blank base of moist chocolate cake comes with pink and blue buttercream, sprinkles, sugar flowers, and more to let you put together a unique creation with ease. Order both cakes at a promotional price of $98.
Park Bench Deli
Ahead of its official re-opening on April 30, sandwich joint Park bench Deli is collaborating with Charlotte Puxley Flowers to create a fun, floral gift idea. The Flower Sandwich ($170) bouquet takes cues from peanut jelly on toast – shades of strawberry reds, dainty peach pink, and warm browns are captured in an elegant arrangement. It also comes with a jar of homemade strawberry and rhubarb jam.
