This year, actor Fann Wong has eschewed the typical strawberries and pink colour palettes for her Mother’s Day exclusive cakes. Instead, she has embraced the complex richness and bitterness of dark chocolate with the “Flourless Dark Chocolate Bliss”, which stars dark chocolate crémeux with raspberry confit and pistachio purée, wrapped in a milk chocolate ganache. If that’s not up to mum’s taste, Wong also has the “Triple Chocolate Cheesecake”, which blends chocolate with cream cheese for extra richness. Topped with white and milk chocolate chantilly, this cake is a pretty sight for mum’s enjoyment.
Available to order at fanntasybakes.com.sg.

For something frosty to help mum beat the heat, opt for Häagen-Dazs’s selection of ice cream cakes released specially for Mother’s Day. The “Berry in Love” is a no-brainer, balancing the fruitiness of strawberry ice cream with the sweetness of vanilla, but if your mother prefers variety, look no further than the “Perfect Symphony” cake. Its shape resembles a flower, with each petal a different ice cream flavour—green tea, Belgian chocolate, macadamia, you name it.
