Even if it isn’t peak durian season, durian lovers can still get their cravings fixed through the cakes and patisseries from The Durian Bakery. For the unacquainted, their bakes follow an award-winning recipe, and they were awarded the 2022 Editor’s Choice Award by Best In Singapore.
Their signature SilkyGold Durian Puree uses Grade A Pahang durian, and the creamy blend is made through a special process with no additives added. You can find it in all their items like the Mao Shan Wang Durian Mille Crepe Cake, which is excellent for sharing during a family gathering.
Apart from just the durian puree, the cake also features thin, savoury crepe skins layered with fresh Hokkaido whipped cream.
Pamper yourself with their Dark Chocolate Fudge Drip Cake with Mao Shan Wang Core when you feel like indulging in a rich and flavourful treat.
For those who prefer a bite-sized snack, The Durian Bakery has also got you covered.
Their Black & Snow Mochi Bundle consists of black and white mochis, made from high-quality Mao Shan Wang and D24 durians respectively. Thanks to their handmade snow skin, you can expect a chewy texture with bursts of durian within.
Interested peeps can include the code “ZULA2022” when you check out to enjoy a complimentary box of Black Gold Musang King Durian Mochi.

Floral arrangements are timeless gifts, but if you want to make a bigger impression, consider an edible arrangement from Rainbowly instead. As Singapore’s first and only local company that offers fruit and chocolate arrangements, they have products that are unique, and also IG worthy.
Made of chocolate-dipped strawberries, All About You is unsurprisingly Rainbowly’s best-selling edible arrangement. It works as a sweet gesture, literally, and doubles as a foolproof surprise. Plus, it comes with a custom pot that can be later used to store knick knacks or as minimalist decor.
Normally, you’d imagine a fruit cake made of layers of cake, coupled with sugar-soaked fruits. However, at Rainbowly, they offer a healthier alternative.
Enter the Watermelon Cake, made of layers of watermelon, and an assortment of antioxidants like strawberries and blackberries, artfully displayed. The refreshing treat works as an excellent solution to fight the sweltering heat in Singapore, and of course, leave your recipient feeling guilt-free when consumed.
You can never go wrong with giving money as a gift, but to avoid any awkwardness, this money bouquet might help do the trick. The bouquet is made of a mix of $2, $5, $10 and $50 notes, depending on the value you plan to give. Unlike a standard flower bouquet, this money bouquet is sure to last for a long time – if your receiver uses it wisely of course.
To receive Rainbowly’s latest update, be sure to sign up for their mailing list on their website.
