Customised Cake Singapore: Design Your Own Cake From $120, No Design Fee

Customised cakes at Tings Bakery start from $120, with no separate design fee.

The final price of a custom cake in Singapore depends on:

• Design complexity, which is the main driver. A hand-sculpted 3D figure costs more than a piped design of the same size
• Flavour, with six of our eleven flavours carrying no surcharge and the rest running from +$10 to +$25
• Size, from a 6 inch serving 5 to 7 people up to a two-tier serving 45
• Add-ons such as a fondant name (+$10) or LED lighting (+$5)

Surprise mechanisms are included in the cake price rather than charged separately.

Our customised cake Singapore prices start at $120, and the fastest way to bring a design down to your budget is to tell us the budget.

Cost sits in the decorating labour rather than the cake itself, so a piped or flat design costs considerably less than a hand-sculpted 3D one at the same size. Choosing one striking focal point instead of detail across the whole cake, and picking the right size rather than the biggest, are the two changes that save the most money without making the cake look cheaper. There is no design fee, so asking costs nothing.

WhatsApp +65 9169 9195 with your date, a reference photo or description, and a rough headcount, and we will quote you.

The full process runs in five steps: send us the idea, get a quote and an honest yes or no on the design, confirm and pay in full to secure the date, we bake and decorate to your date, then we deliver or you collect. Full payment is required at the point of order because a date is not held until payment is received.

Yes, and it is how most of our customised cake orders start.

WhatsApp the photo to +65 9169 9195 with your date and rough headcount. Reference images are not our own designs, so the result will be faithful rather than identical, and we will tell you which details will shift before you pay rather than after. We do not charge a design fee for this. If one particular element of the photo is the part that matters to you, say so, and we will protect that element.

A customised cake is designed and baked to your specification for your date; a ready-made cake is stocked in advance and sold as it is.

With a custom cake you choose the design, the flavour, the size and the message, and a surprise mechanism can be built into the structure. The trade-off is lead time: a ready-made cake can be collected the same day, while a custom design needs about a week. We are a made-to-order bakery rather than a display counter, so everything we sell falls into the first category.

A 6 inch serves 5 to 7, an 8 inch serves 8 to 12, and a 10 inch serves 13 to 25, with two-tier options covering 26 to 45 guests.

The inch measurement refers to the diameter of the cake and not its height. These figures assume a standard party slice, so if cake is the only dessert on the table, size up one step. Count small children as half a serving.

Yes. On a two-tier cake you can have a different flavour in each tier.

Surcharges apply per flavour used, so a tier of Signature Chocolate paired with a tier of Royal Premium Durian carries the durian surcharge of +$25.

About a week for most customised cake designs in Singapore.

More precisely:

• Standard designs from our collection: 3 to 5 days
• Fully custom or 3D designs: 5 to 7 days
• Wedding and corporate logo work: about a month
• Urgent orders: 1 to 2 days on selected designs, for an additional charge

Weekends, public holidays and the weeks before Chinese New Year fill first.

Yes. We make a customised longevity cake Singapore families order for 60th, 70th, 80th and 90th birthdays, with shou tao peach made of fondant, crane and pine motifs.

You can choose fondant peaches, and we print Chinese characters including 壽 topper. Because these cakes are usually eaten by the person being celebrated, we can also make them with reduced-sugar fillings, a lighter cream and a softer sponge. Our full longevity range starts at $150 across 33 designs.

Six of our eleven flavours carry no surcharge at all.

Signature Chocolate, Classic Vanilla, Rich Chocolate Banana, Chocolate Oreo Cookies & Cream, Sweet & Sour Lemon Curd and Nescafé Coffee are all included in the base price. Velvety Red Cream Cheese is +$10. Fresh Strawberries & Cream, Traditional Pandan Ondeh Ondeh and Sweet Mango Delight are +$15 each. Royal Premium Durian is +$25.

Yes. We print photographs, artwork and company logos onto edible sheets and apply them to the cake surface.

Send a vector file or a high-resolution PNG with a transparent background for the cleanest result. A logo pulled off a website at low resolution will print soft, and we will tell you that rather than print it anyway. Edible printing works best on 10 inch, 12 inch and tiered designs, where the image has room to be read across a room.

Tings Bakery accommodates dairy-free, vegan, gluten-free, and nut-free requests on a case-by-case basis when you ask in advance. If you or a guest has a diagnosed food allergy, contact us directly before ordering rather than relying on this page. We would rather turn an order down than get it wrong.

Tings Bakery does not hold MUIS Halal certification, and we are working towards it.

We do not use pork, lard or alcohol in any of our cakes or ingredients, and our ingredients are Halal-sourced. If your event requires certified Halal, we would rather tell you plainly that we are not certified than let you assume otherwise. Our kitchen is SFA-licensed under licence number CE20L85J000.

Full payment is required when you place the order, because a date is not held until payment is received.

We accept PayNow to UEN 53394429E and we do not accept cash on delivery. Once an order is confirmed we do not offer cancellations or refunds, though we can usually postpone to another date subject to availability.

Custom cake delivery is free islandwide on orders above $180, and a flat $20 below that.

Sentosa, Changi, Tuas and Jurong Island carry an additional $15. Delivery windows are 12pm to 3pm or 3pm to 6pm, with an hour either side for traffic. Someone needs to be there to receive it: our driver waits ten minutes and then calls, and a redelivery costs $30. Collection is always free from #B1-20 The Adelphi, 1 Coleman Street, about two minutes from City Hall MRT.

Collect it if the cake is tall, three-dimensional, or has a mechanism inside.

Collection removes the car journey entirely, which is the single biggest risk to a cake that has been built rather than baked flat. It is free, pickup slots are pre-arranged so the cake is finished and chilled for your time, and it is what we would choose for our own order. Bring a flat boot space if you are driving. For a standard flat or piped design, delivery is perfectly safe.

Yes, and there is no extra cost to add a money pull or surprise mechanism to a custom design.

You can build in a money pulling mechanism (up to twenty notes, any denomination, paid with the order by PayNow), an explosion bomb shell, a pinata cavity, or a burnaway layer. It depends on the design so tell us at the enquiry stage, because the mechanism changes how the cake is structured and some designs may not be suitable to cater for such add on.

Eat the cake within two days, and refrigerate anything cream-based as soon as it arrives.

Our cakes are freshly baked without artificial preservatives, which is why they taste the way they do and why they do not keep:

• Cream-based cakes must be kept in the fridge
• Cream cakes with fondant decorations should also go in the fridge
• Only fully fondant-covered cakes should be kept out, in a cool air-conditioned room, because condensation forms on fondant once it leaves the fridge
• Some designs use styrofoam or wire for structural support and toy figurines as toppers, so not every part of every cake is edible. We will tell you which parts to remove
• A plastic knife and a large candle are included with every cake
