Cupcakes: a customer and a provider in a bright, modern setting

Cupcakes in Singapore range from simple boxes of six for an office tea break to themed sets for a child's party, and the shops behind them work quite differently. Some are cafes with a walk-in counter, others are kitchens that bake to order and deliver, and a few take collection only. This list gathers eight bakeries whose own websites show cupcakes as a core product and that were still taking orders in 2026. Descriptions and certification wording are the shops' own statements, attributed, not our endorsement. Prices, flavours and lead times change often, so check the live order page and delivery rules before you commit to a date.

1. Plain Vanilla

Plain Vanilla's homepage is headed "Cupcakes, Bakes and Brunch", and its cupcakes sit at the centre of the menu. Its story page says it began in 2011 as a small takeaway spot in Holland Village and is now a cafe group across Singapore, with cafes at Tiong Bahru, Telok Ayer, Cluny Court, Neil Road, East Coast, Tang Plaza, Serangoon Gardens and Upper Thomson. The order pages sell boxes of six and twelve, grouped as favourites, specials, mainstays and chocolate flavours, plus mini cupcakes. There are also decorate-your-own boxes with piped messages, sprinkles or sugar plaque toppers. It separates same-day orders from advance orders, and says advance orders need a few days' notice. A good fit if you want to see the cupcakes before you buy.

2. The Butter Studio

The Butter Studio describes itself as a homegrown Singapore bakery that has made cupcakes since 2011, starting from a small takeaway counter at Changi Airport. Its site describes the business as MUIS halal-certified, which is its own statement. The online shop splits cupcakes into standard, mini and party platters, and also lists themed sets such as Disney, dinosaur, mermaid and unicorn designs, edible-print cupcakes and corporate logo cupcakes. A separate vegan range is listed too. Its locations page shows retail shops at Takashimaya, Bugis Junction and Causeway Point, plus a central kitchen in Tai Seng for pre-order collection by appointment, and the site advertises island-wide delivery. Check which outlet stocks what you want before travelling.

3. Cuppacakes

Cuppacakes focuses on cupcakes, and its site describes them as made to order. It calls itself a halal-certified gourmet bakery, which is its own wording, and says it bakes with French butter, European cream and Belgian chocolate while avoiding margarine, palm oil and preservatives. The order pages are organised by flavour, with all-time favourites, specials and premium ranges in regular size, plus a mini-size list and a vegan and gluten-free range. A second section lets you browse customised designs, including seasonal collections for festivals and school occasions. The FAQ says it has a Kovan shop open only for collecting pre-orders, not for off-the-shelf sales, and that it delivers across Singapore. Orders come in by its online store, phone or email.

4. Creme Maison Bakery

Creme Maison Bakery is better known for celebration cakes, but its shop has a dedicated cupcake section that covers gourmet cupcakes, floral cupcakes and mini cupcakes. It also lists gender-reveal cupcakes, which hide the colour inside, and boxed cupcake gifts. The site says the bakery was founded in 2014, makes its cakes with a low-sugar recipe and Belgian butter, and works to order, and it publishes a lead time for fully customised orders on its contact page. Its bakery sits near Tai Seng MRT according to its contact page. Orders go through the website, and the contact page also offers WhatsApp for same-day questions. Choose it if you want cupcakes that match a cake or a gifting box.

5. Lily's Patisserie

Lily's Patisserie describes itself as a French-inspired patisserie with local flavours, and cupcakes are one of three main sections on its site, alongside cakes and biscuits. The cupcake collection lists mixed berries, blueberry, lemon, chocolate, pandan and Vietnamese coffee, plus a mix-and-match box, so the choices lean towards fruit and local tastes rather than heavy frosting. Its brand pages say it uses a clean-label approach with no artificial flavours, colours or preservatives, and that its bakes are made to order. That wording is the shop's own claim. The contact page gives a shop at KAP Mall near King Albert Park MRT, with opening days listed there, and the site offers island-wide delivery and a corporate order page.

6. 25Grams Bakery

25Grams Bakery runs two parallel shelves on its Shopify site: a vegan and gluten-free range, and a regular range of cupcakes and minis. The vegan section is labelled as made without eggs, dairy or animal products, which is the bakery's description of its own recipes, and the page notes that lead times are longer for customised bakes. Regular cupcakes carry a minimum of six pieces per flavour, and minis are sold by the box, according to the listings. It also takes corporate and custom bake enquiries. The contact page places the shop at NEWest on West Coast Drive, with self-collection and delivery slots shown, and the site is dated 2026. Worth a look if someone in the group avoids eggs, dairy or gluten.

7. Sweetest Moments

Sweetest Moments focuses on celebration bakes, and its cakes and cupcakes collection is wide. It lists standard and mini cupcakes, DIY cupcake sets, pull-apart mini cupcake cakes, twin-packed and individually packed cupcakes, personalised edible-print designs and corporate cupcake trees. Many are framed around baby full-month, birthday and wedding occasions, and the homepage shows seasonal Deepavali and Halloween sets for this year. The site states the business is halal-certified, which is its own claim. Its contact page gives a Tai Seng address in a BreadTalk building for the office and kitchen, and shows a business WhatsApp line and an enquiries email for custom designs. A sensible pick for party favours and gifting where packaging matters as much as flavour.

8. Afters Bakery

Afters Bakery builds its cupcake pages around celebrations. The category lists themed sets such as safari, dinosaur, mermaid and Paw Patrol, baby full-month cupcakes, gender-reveal sets and mini cupcakes, with sets packed by theme rather than by flavour. The site says orders can be delivered islandwide, and that same-day or urgent orders may only be placed through WhatsApp. A banner says it has moved and that customers can self-collect from a shop space on Kim Chuan Terrace. The bakery's wider range also covers cakes, cookies and macarons, so it can be a one-stop order for a party table. Its footer is dated 2025 and its seasonal sale banner was live when we checked; confirm current slots on the order page.

How to choose

Decide whether you want to see the cupcakes before buying. A cafe or retail counter, such as the ones Plain Vanilla and The Butter Studio list, lets you check size and frosting on the day, while kitchens that bake to order usually need you to commit to flavours and a collection or delivery slot first.
Look at the minimum order and box sizes on each shop's order page. Some sell boxes of six or twelve, some list a minimum number per flavour, and mini cupcakes are often sold by the box. Matching those numbers to your headcount avoids ordering far more than you need or paying separately for extras.
For dietary needs, read the shop's own labels and ask directly. Cuppacakes and 25Grams list vegan and gluten-free ranges, and several bakeries describe themselves as halal-certified. Those are the shops' statements, so ask for the certificate or ingredient list if it matters, and mention any allergies when you order, since methods differ.
Think about the occasion before the flavour. Themed party sets, edible-print toppers, gender-reveal cupcakes and corporate logo versions come with their own lead times and are usually ordered in advance, whereas plain boxes may be available same day. Check the cut-off times on the site rather than assuming a quick turnaround.
Check how the cupcakes arrive. Delivery windows, collection points and same-day rules are set by each shop and can change with the season, so read the delivery page and confirm the date by WhatsApp or email where the site offers it. Frosted cupcakes travel better in a sturdy box, so ask about packaging for long drives.
