I got to know of Nana Bakes from my mommy friends and they seem to be a popular choice for children's birthday cakes mainly because of their affordable pricing and too cute to resist cake designs. With the toddler's upcoming birthday, I thought I gave their cakes a try. Strawberry Cake ($4) Rainbow Cake ($4.20) Apart from the fact it had cheese frosting, this was mostly food colouring which probably does not suit the children very well. Otherwise, I thought the colours were really vibrant and pretty. Salted Caramel ($4) All had a really light sponge and buttercream frosting which makes their cakes very easy to polish off and the flavours are kids' favourites too - think cookies and cream, chocolate and the likes! We've finalized our cake flavor...and keep a look out for the grand reveal in Jul Designed cakes start at $60. NaNa Bakes 11 Telok Kurau Road #01-02 Parc Elegance

Rainbow cakes may seem like a 2015 fad but it spilled over into 2016 in the form of a rainbow chiffon - possibly the first of its kind without any competition. Who can get sick of such a cheerful looking cake anyway? I am pleasantly surprised the neighbourhood bakeries failed to catch on this one. At $6.90, this had to be the cheapest rainbow dessert around.   Sponge was a tad soggy at the bottom - a sign that these are probably not given enough time to cool down before being packed. While it smelt too heavy on coconut, this was alot lighter than it smelt - how the nose confuses! Another cake worth looking forward to at Polar! 

The only reason why I even got acquainted with Lavender is because of my Zumba class and Tai Hwa Bak Chor Mee. The best deal is often struck by exercising then indulging with far less guilt.   Spot the tiny coffee shop that can easily be missed. Operating literally out of a coffee cart. And an uber cuddly teddy bear to match. Minimalistic decor with few tables too. A cappucino for your cravings? The coffee was not spectacular, pretty much ordinary the caffeine drinkers mused. And a rainbow cake that was made of natural colouring that looked half as cheerful as the other cakes in the marketplace. Tastewise it was also slightly disappointing, very dense and missing out on some fluffiness. Portions were incredibly small as well. That, summed up my experience at Coffee Cart. Barely exciting nor memorable. Sigh, another that bites at the dust. The Coffee Cart 465 Crawford Ln, # 01-08
