In a nation of foodies, it’s no surprise that our love for sweet treats runs deep, from affordable $1 sugar donuts, to professionally crafted artisanal desserts and even made-to-order home bakes, we all have our usual favourites.
Here at hoolah, we are avid supporters of local home bakers and after weeks of food fueled research, we’re here to shine the spotlight on a new contender in the home baking scene – and trust us when we say she’s a force to be reckoned with.
Introducing DB Cakes, a rising home bakery built on passion and years of delicious trial and error. Born out of the circuit breaker period, Bronica Lim, the beauty and brains behind the bakery, dishes what led to its, “What started as a me-time activity became serious when family and friends started ordering cakes and other goodies.” Soon after, fuelled by their encouragement and support, DB Cakes was born in November 2020.
Her special touch
At a glance, it may seem like just another home bakery, but take a closer peek and you’d realise that their growing menu of baked goods is built on the belief that healthy eating need not take away from the taste and indulgence we often find pleasure in. “My bakes are much lower in sugar without compromising on the taste by using premium quality ingredients from France and locally.” This way, Bronica believes that customers are able to focus on savouring her desserts, instead of the calories in each spoonful!
Taking a bite of her decadent Basque Burnt Cheesecake, you would not believe that it was a healthier option. With a deep brown caramelised top and a smooth creamy filling, it tastes like an elevated version of American cheesecakes. Not cloyingly sweet, but just enough to satiate your sweet tooth, a slight tang follows every mouth, leaving you craving for more.
In addition to her velvety smooth cheesecake, are Bronica’s beautifullyhome made scones and Sunday apple crumbles. Best eaten with a dollop of fresh cream, as much jam as your heart desires, and a tall glass of cold milk, these tea time treats are bound to leave your sweet tooth beyond satisfied.
If you’re craving for some hearty nostalgia, you’re in luck! DB Cakes has several new items coming up on their menu in celebration of the Lunar New Year! We can’t reveal much, but all you have to know is that you can expect your usual favourite home bakes to be met with a surprising ( and citrus) twist!
Join hoolah in supporting local businesses and show your support this Chinese New Year as you look for decadent goodies to gift your loved ones or even just to treat yourself to. Refresh and rejuvenate your tastebuds with DB Cakes, we promise you won’t be disappointed!
