Happy Birthday? Hardly. Cake Spade Says Bye-Bye
In the world of bakeries, a tenth‑anniversary salute is like a choir of confetti—and here, the confetti’s all but gone.
The Sweet Ending
- Location: 283 South Bridge Road, Singapore 058832
- Hours: Monday – Saturday, 11 am – 10 pm (closed Sundays & Public Holidays)
- Closing announcement: 20 Nov 2023
So apparently, Cake Spade’s decade of dessert enchantment is about to take a pause. The shop, a one‑stop sweet spot that recently moved from the historic Tanjong Pagar corner to the cozy corner of Ann Siang Hill, has put a “Closing Soon” sign in the shop window and on its Insta feed.
What Went Wrong?
As the Instagram caption read, the owners seem to have traded the last slice of cake for a bittersweet “thank you.” “We’re struggling to keep the slice rolling,” they wrote “with a heavy heart we say farewell here.” Yet, just after the wine‑glaziness spilled out, they added a silver‑lined “goodbyes aren’t forever.” Anyone reading that would think the shop’s just catching a nap rather than a permanent vacation.
Why the Sudden Switch?
It might feel like an extra plot‑twist in a romantic comedy, since the shop had only been on Ann Siang Hill for a few months after clodhopping from Tanjong Pagar. A sudden change of plans—whether a pandemic‑induced cash crunch, a landlord drama, or a new culinary adventure—remains to be pinned down.
The Final Temptation
So what’s next? You can still stroll into the place for the last couple of months of indulgence before the doors finally shut. It’s an invitation for loyal patrons to taste the final chapters while the shop closes its sweet saga.
There’s a hopeful note: if you’re a fan of Cake Spade’s unique confections that blend nostalgia with modern flair, you might want to savor it one more time before the final bite.
Heads‑Up for Part of Your Life
As the kitchen lights flash off, the shop leaves a lingering scent of buttercream and sugar. A final shoutout to everyone who made Cake Spade a part of Singapore’s dessert map—it was a truly delightful ride.
