Paisley & Cream (The Central)

I bought one of the GaGa Girl's Belated 21st Birthday Cake here... Every year is a belated 21st birthday, I kinda forgotten how old they are already.... In anyway... we shall remain under 25 till the end of our lives....

Though I did not dine here, the time i spent walking around the shop and playing with all the display there is more then the experience of eating there. I was desperate for a beautiful cake, something special and is not too filling and when i enquired, what truelly attracted me was the lady's description. She told me she would bring for me a freshly baked cheese cake, manually put in the creme and fill them up with FRESH Strawberries....... I love the sound of fresh strawberries.... How many of you can find freshly decorated cake with fresh, juicy, springy, bright red strawberries with beads of fresh dew on them?

Its to die for yar... after hearing that i IMMEDIATELY say.... BRING ME ONE OF THOSE CAKES BABE! While i watch them carefully decorating my cake, i soon discovered to my delight beautifully crafted in cupcakes in various yummy flavours.... They are so pretty.. I wonder who can bear to eat them up... They are affordable.. I mean if somebody were to look at their bright euro shop deco with chandeliers and intrisic designed shop front, many would think its such a expensive place and too doll house for anybody, however I must tell you the prices for the item is AFFORDABLE....

The service was great too.. With bright smiling faces and helpful attitude, the staffs there make me feel so welcome, loved and pampered.... However situated at a corner with lousy human traffic but busy road traffic, this place is a great place for high teas or a quiet tea alone with a book while watching the world go by.

Look out for this nice glass shop at the corner of chinatown and clarke quay with the GREAN PAISLEY sign.. Its Paisley.. not Parsley... Its a glass house... not a GRASS House

I first came to know about this quaint little cupcake shop through two of my friends' blog. They shared photos of this cupcake shop and raved about how beautiful the cupcakes were.

So, I went there the other day when I was out with my girlfriends! When I first step in, the PINK walls attracted me. Along with the pink walls, there were silver sofa princess-like cushion seats! The walls were also filled with black and white Audrey Hepburn photos in photo frames. I love the decor!

My friends & I ordered a pot of Earl Grey tea to share, and 3 types of cakes. We had a strawberry cheesecake, a double chocolate cupcake and a mango cupcake.

There were no other customers other than us when we were there so the service was really good. The waiter was very meticulous in serving us and even offered to help us take a picture when we were camwhoring away, haha!

The Earl Grey tea was nicely brewed and we had 2 cups each so it was actually a good choice to order a pot to share among the 3 of us.

The cheesecake was really good, it was thick and there was a hint of strawberry too. The cupcakes were so-so but their pretty decorations were too hard to resist!

In total, we spent about $6-7/person as the cupcakes were $3.50 for one if I remember correctly.

This is such a heaven for girls who love to take photos! The cupcakes itself aren't that good to rave about but I would say there's no harm going there to have a cuppa afternoon tea and a piece of cake with your friends.
