Delcie's Desserts & Cakes - Bugis

Since my first review of Delcie's Desserts, I have received a large number of comments - With the major talking point being the cost factor.  Therefore, I was slightly cautious in igniting that debate once again.  However, considering Delcie's has now expanded into Fortune Centre (officially her second outlet) I felt the time was right to have a follow-up review.  Personally, I am a big fan of Delcie and her desserts, and therefore was delighted upon hearing the news that her business has expanded.

For the regular visitors of her Upper Serangoon Road outlet, the array of desserts will be somewhat familiar to you.  Her most synonymous items, such as the molten chocolate cake, fudge brownie and blue forest cake are available at this new outlet - All of which, you can read my verdict on in my first Delcie's post.
One thing that disappointed me slightly was the lack of any seating options at the new Delcie's.  Personally, I'd enjoy sitting down and eating the cakes right then and there.  On a side note, Delcie is fast becoming the Elizabeth Falkner of Singapore, with a series of recipe videos recently being launched.  You can see some of these recipe videos on the Delcie's Desserts official website.  Also posted below is a video explaining how Delcie began her business and her personal story.





First up, we have the Pineapple Upside Down cake.  The quality of this cake is exceptionally high, with cake maintaining a glorious moisture.  Moreover, fresh pineapple is used in this dessert, and this makes a huge difference.  The fresh pineapple has a greater aroma, but doesn't have the acidity that a raw pineapple typically has.  The only negative would be the size.  If you're someone as unashamedly piggish as myself, then you could probably consume this cake in just one bite.

Price: $3.00.     8/10

One of the cakes that has been around for a long time is the Rainbow Cake.  The first question that might pop into peoples minds is - What is used to colour the sponge? The answer to this is vegan colouring extracted from vegetables, fruits and plants.  The white cream that is smeared between the layers has a zesty lemon tang to it.  If I was to nitpick, it could be said that this cake was a little too dry, especially in comparison to the pineapple cake.  Perhaps a little more of that lemon cream would have suppressed that concern.  Very satisfying slice overall(I bought the full slice).

Price: $6.00 (half) $11.50 (full).     7/10


Conclusion - The issue with Delcie's is always going to be the price.  Would I regularly purchase items from Delcie's?  Probably not, simply because my main culinary passion is for savoury food.  However, if you are someone (I'm guessing female) who has lived as a vegan for some time, and has been spending your nights hiding under your blanket in a cold sweat, your mind bombarded with lustful thoughts of gorging like a deranged primitive animal on a spongy creamy sweet cake - Then, I'm sure you can appreciate that price shouldn't be an issue in satisfying that craving.
