Having cakes on our birthday is a must for my family. The worst thing is, all of our birthday are end of the year, so we will have 3-4 cakes consecutively in the month of October, November and December. Mum was worse last time as she also wants to celebrate our chinese birthdays! Imagine 6-8 birthday cakes during the last quarter of the year. O.O

Everytime we will order a cake from a bakery near us as we don't drive, I don't want to lug the cake and squeeze on buses or train, and worse, some cakes are not suitable to be left in room temperature for very long. We found a new love with yummy cakes and most importantly, order online and get it delivered right to our doorstep. Free delivery some more!

Received a cake from the good people of Cat and The Fiddle!

I was actually recommended Fickle Feline S$38.90 by David but I thought a whole cake looks better, although I personally feel Fickle Feline is a pretty good choice that consists of 10 different flavoured slices of cheesecakes.

Fancy having lava cakes at the comfort of your home or throwing a tea-party but no time to cake some cakes? Now you can do it conveniently without hazzle!

Auric Pacific launches Mariette Tea Cakes and that includes chocolate lava cakes! The first microwavable molten lava cakes in Singapore!

Auric Pacific Group also owns reputable brands like SCS, Sunshine, Gourmet and Buttercup.



We were at Medzs Millennia Walk to celebrate the launch, and celebration includes trying out all the 4 cakes and bringing all of them home too! 



4 cakes were rolled out this October, they are Molten Lava Cakes, Double Chocolate Cakes, Orange Tea Cakes & Salted Caramel Cakes. 

All the 4 cakes are trans-fat free, no preservatives, Halal certified and retailing at S$7.90 at selected Supermarkets. I saw it selling at S$8+ at Cold Storage though. 










SALTED CARAMEL TEA CAKE WITH WALNUTS

This is my personal favourite among the 4!

An indulgent and heavenly salted caramel cake with crunchy walnuts that promises to pamper every palate.

Perfect as an ultimate all time dessert, drizzle with hot caramel sauce to elevate the gourmet experience. 

As the cakes are frozen, slice the cake into portions required, store the remaining frozen portions back in the freezer immediately. 
Take out the desired portions you need, thaw it at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving. Once defrosted, keep product chilled in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. 







ORANGE TEA CAKE WITH ORANGE PEEL 

This cake is tender and full of refreshing flavour with a tangy twist of orange citrus peel. 
Flavourful when eaten on its own, this Orange Tea Cake also taste great with milk chocolate buttercream or creamy lemon buttercream. Delicious and light on the taste buds, its truly a classic. 

As the cakes are frozen, slice the cake into portions required, store the remaining frozen portions back in the freezer immediately. 
Take out the desired portions you need, thaw it at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving. Once defrosted, keep product chilled in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. 






DOUBLE CHOCOLATE TEA CAKE

My brother's & K's favourite!! 

A decadently indulgent and luxurious chocolate cake with loads of dark chocolate chips goodness. 

Rich & delicious on its own but if you would like, you can top your cake with some vanilla ice cream or drizzle your cake with hot chocolate sauce. Perfect for the sweet end of your dinner party.



I don't know if you can tell by this picture, how soft is this tea cake :X But I can tell you, it is very soft and chocolatey!



This is what I did at home! 





MINI CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKE

Although it is mini, the size is just right, in my opinion. 

This rich and mouth-watering mini chocolate lava cake with warm chocolate filling is the ultimate chocolate indulgence. 

A box contains 4 of these. 

Heat each cake in the microwave oven for just 15 seconds and you will get a flowing lava cake! It really flows ok! No joke. 






COMPETITION - DESIGNING OUR OWN CAKES!


Then before we end the tea party, we were told to decorate our own tea cakes! Thats very fun, I love plating, no matter nor sucky it turns out all the time.



My final product!





All 3 flavours of the cake (except lava cake)



These are some of the creations by the other bloggers. 

Thank you Auric Pacific for having me at the party and lugging home boxes of cakes to enjoy with my family!

Henri Charpentier @ Dempsey Hill

Henri Charpentier 
Address: 9A Dempsey Road Singapore 247698
Tel: +65 64795518
Opening Hours: 11am to 10pm Daily 

Henri Charpentier opened its doors on 9th October 2014 at Dempsey Hill. 

We heard the queue is long, the service is bad, nonetheless we decided to pay a visit. 

For me, I don't expect much from their service and desserts, many do comment that they are overpriced, but for the visual treats, I believe many will still be willing to pay the price. 

So C called up to make reservations, was told that they don't take reservations and they slammed the phone. 
C wanted to call back to scold them for slamming the phone, but nobody answer. 

Well, so with it, i went with the expectation of very bad service. We also chose a weekday night to go so that the queue will not be horrendous. 





Was pretty glad that everything was peaceful! No long queues and all. 





Upon entering the restaurant, a girl carme to serve us, and asked if we made reservations, ay, I thought you don't take reservations? This thought didn't came to me at that point so I didn't ask her.



We love the ambience here! Went around snapping pictures. For a moment I wished that this is my house.







We were shown to our table, so beautiful. 





We were also served iced water without requesting. However, after our friends arrived, they did not serve them ice water automatically. 



The knife, fork & spoon holder. 



Time for some camwhore before we place our orders. Don't worry, there is no queue and its quiet so we didn't hog the seats.







A Japanese staff (I think this might be managed by 2 Japanese managers, the rest of the staff are locals) Ayumi, saw us wefie-ing and offered to help us take a picture. So nice can! 







Then i continued snapping pictures, wanted to take a picture of this trolley with a stove (K's photobombing).





While waiting for the washroom, there is a full length mirror. 







All these above pictures taken in the washroom. 


CAKES






MILLE-CREPE CAKE S$9 

10 layers of moist, soft-thin crepes and thick, rich custard cream. It is rather normal piece of crepe cake, nothing to shout about.



DESSERTS

What I like about their menu is that, on every dessert, they will indicate what is exclusive to Singapore's outlet, which dish has final touches performed at your table and which dishes contains alcohol.




ROUGE S$19 Exclusive - available only in Singapore.


Parfait of marinated strawberries, financier and passion fruit with a generous amount of strawberry sauce. 

I guess not many people ordered this (because no fire) but this is the nicest out of the few desserts that we've tried! However, we peeked at the other table's order of ROUGE, it doesn't look as pretty as this. 

Next up, the trolley was pushed to our table side!




















CREPE SUZETTE S$22

A thin crepe is cooked by hand in a copper pan. Butter, orange juice and liqueur are prepared at hand. This is Henri Charpentier's symbolic dessert.

The crepe is indeed silky soft, but nothing much to shout about too. S$22 for 2 pieces of crepes drenched in orange juice & liqueur. You decide. 



This dessert already look so good before flaming it.





Another close up before she pour the flamed liqueur over it.












FLOWER TEMPTATION S$25 Exclusive - available only in Singapore.

Sauteed pineapple and 2 types of chocolate mousse are added to a flower-shaped sugar bowl and flambeed with orange liqueur. 

This is more to the bitter side, might be due to the dark chocolate and also the liqueur. 



The most expensive one we had that night, but its so pretty, such a pity to be burned down to a mess. 










DOME S$29 Exclusive - available only in Singapore.

The chocolate sphere encloses a chocolate parfait biscuit of fraise d'amande. Comes with a little jar of raspberry sauce to go with the dessert. 

Well, I would say the obvious that you already knew/guessed. The price for this dish of course not worth it, but for the ambience, watching the final touches performed at our table & ❤️❤️ people whom I dined with, ok la can, once is enough. And it's a lovely place, we love the ambience! 

These are all that was available in the cake display when we left at about 8+pm.
