Growing up as a 90’s kid in Singapore, customised cakes were not always a common sight. The few places my birthday cakes were from were bakeries like BreadTalk and Four Leaves. But now, many other bakeries and home bakers have stepped up their customised cake game ‒ taking inspiration from the Korean bento cake trend.
For those who haven’t heard of it, Korean bento cakes are minimalist cakes placed in a takeaway box. It became popular because of its 4″ petite size, dreamy colour palettes and affordable pricing. If you’re planning to get a taste of one of these Korean bento cakes, here are 16 places in Singapore where you can get them.

Their bento cakes come in 2 layers of sponge cake, each with classic and unique flavours.
For adventurous peeps, opt for their speculoos and ovomaltine crunch. Or if you prefer to keep things on the safer end, you can always go for the classic vanilla, hazelnut chocolate and chocolate vanilla flavours.
