I’ve always loved cupcakes and I am really happy to see the cupcake trend slowly picking up in Singapore. Plenty of cupcake bakeries have sprung up in the past year and it is really exciting for a dessert lover like me.
One of the new places that serve cupcakes is Cupcakes with Love – a full fledged cupcake cafe at Tanjong Katong. A nice cafe which sells nothing but cupcakes. How cool is that?
Cupcakes with Love is located at 348 Tanjong Katong road (closer to Mountbatten road) which is further away from the main stretch of eateries like Punggol Nasi Lemak, Smiths Fish and Chips and With a Pinch of Salt Cafe.
They currently have eight cupcake flavours, so it is still an ongoing process to test out recipes for the final piece of the jigsaw puzzle (they intend to have nine flavours every day).
It is important to note that the cupcakes from Cupcakes with Love have considerately less frosting than the usual ones. They are quite different and I’m guessing that it will probably appeal more to people who do not fancy thick frostings.
A cupcake goes for $3.8, and it comes with really nice boxes for half a dozen ($22) or a dozen ($44) orders. Some of the flavours include cranberry, strawberry, blueberry, chocolate, matcha and their signature chocolate rum “adult cupcake”.
We were too full after dinner so we only tried three of the flavours: matcha, chocolate rum and red velvet. Yes, red velvet. I bet some of you are already rubbing your hands in anticipation.
I never understood the fascination with red velvet cupcake, though. It’s simply an ordinary cupcake with a few tablespoons of cocoa powder and red food colouring. But if you are a big fan of red velvet cupcake, you might want to check out the one at Cupcakes with Love which comes with cream cheese frosting and is one of the most popular cupcakes there.
The cupcakes are freshly baked every day, so do drop by Cupcakes with Love and give them your support.
Meanwhile, I’m on a quest to try several new cupcake bakeries. I will be blogging a post on the best cupcakes in Singapore soon! Leave me a comment if you have any recommendations for good cupcakes.
Cupcakes will never go out of fashion.

Lovely pics, the cupcakes look delicious
How was the Matcha cupcake?
haha, adding colouring is the cheat way of baking red velvet. red velvet is actually red due to a chemical process between cocoa and acid (usually vinegar or lemon juice in the recipe). (:
Twelve cupcakes @ united sq serves pretty good ones as well. Heard the Millenia walk one just opened today.
I was just about to mention Twelve Cupcakes when reading your post but I guess Kirsten beat me to it.
I had the Rocky Road (think it’s $3.50) and that was rich and satisfying. The usual ones are $3 if I don’t remember wrongly.
Absolutely won over!!!! I will go after the ed velvet!
Yum Yum!! Cupcakes is my weakness
twelve cupcakes!
Try cupcakes and bakes at wilkie road! They’ve sushi cupcakes! Cool!
Was horribly disappointed with the red velvet. Bought 7 cupcakes to taste test with fellow bakers and the verdict: Very pretty cupcakes without a punch in the mouth.
Red velvet is supposed to be light, fluffy, moist and almost velvety in texture with a complex flavour of cocoa, buttermilk and a delightful tang of cream cheese and sweet for the frosting. This version was dry, plain and all I could taste was salt.
The only good one was the chocolate chip which was generous with the chocolate, both outside and it. The others were just butter cupcakes stuffed with dried fruit( AND $3.80! to boot)which were disappointing.
https://www.facebook.com/BakedbyLace is an up-and-coming cupcake enterprise owned by a dear frend. her cupcakes are by far the best-tasting and most economically priced. definitely one to watch out for
Twelve Cupcakes at Millenia Walk has pretty amazing cupcakes! Their moist cupcakes are to die for! Please post about it:)
please try cakes overhill tooo!! super nice. its a family business to the plain@duxton hill
my bad…. cake over heels!!
Have you guys tried Swirls Bake Shop? I think they just opened this week.. Seriously amazing!!! Was walking by and randomly found them at Robertson Quay..for me its the best red velvet around so far :p YUM
Try twelve cupcakes!!!
High society cupcakes
try plain vanilla at holland.very yummy.you will never regret.only downside location not convenient.because laziness,i tried homemade red velvet from lescupcakes. haha surprisedbetter than some famous cupcakes shops.cakes very moist,soft&delicious.
cupcakes are dry and icing is not appetizing at all. i don’t know if this review is a paid review. am not going back to this shop again.
Bought mine today at Clementi Mall, a new outlet. The cupcakes were ok, not fantastic but I certainly didn’t feel love from the lady that sold it to me. To keep it short, she was obnoxious, unfriendly, impatient and not very helpful. So much for cupcake with love…. Eating the cakes didn’t make me feel any love. Would still go back to twelve cupcakes where they have friendlier and loving girls!
Bought 6 cupcakes today at Clementi Mall. It was disappointing. Bland and dry. I also dislike their sugar balls, not sure what you call those,on top of their icing. I was there at 1155am, yet they’re not ready with only less than 10 cupcakes on the shelf. Will stick to twelve cupcakes now!
