Fabulous Red Velvet Cake

I finally got the chance to visit Fabulous Baker Boy for their famous red velvet cake! *does a little happy dance* Today was filled with great food and great company with Charlotte, my pretty and sweet friend from Changi Youth Ambassadors back in poly days. Ah... I miss the times spent at airport so much though it felt more like an 3.5 hour torture by being a mobile information counter. 
Apple Cider Cake, Ab Fab Red Velvet Cake & Garlic Fries
Cakes were going at $7.50 per slice and there are snack foods to order. We arrived at about 12.30pm - the glaring sun was unbearable but the open space concept made great ventilation - and ordered Apple Cider Cake, Garlic Fries ($9.50) and Red Velvet Cake. Charlotte wanted to try the Nutty Monkey but we wanted to try more flavours and the staff said the Nutty Monkey cake is a tad heavy.

The drinks and garlic fries were served first, followed by the cakes. The garlic fries were normal fries garnished with garlic bits and salt and pepper and I would say it taste okay... not something I would order the next time I go there because it doesn't seem to be worth the money. Apple cider cake was rather light and refreshing after I had so many bites of the red velvet cake.

Oh my goodness... you CANNOT COMPARE the red velvet cake to the one I eat at Coffee Bean. The cake is so fluffy and soft and as much as I thought that a layer of chocolate would add immense sweetness and chocolate overload to the already sweet cake, it was balanced out nicely! Coffee Bean red velvet cakes have crumbly texture that leaves quite a mess after eating. 

We sat there and chat over a few hours. Overall it is a quiet - not so quiet when a bunch of aunties sat next to our table - and relaxing place to be. You can pick the sofa seats too but I wouldn't recommend that during lunch hours cos those seats are close to the sun.

Directions to Fabulous Baker Boy: From Clarke Quay MRT station, walk to the mrt exit where you will see Cheers. Walk across the bridge, cross road to MCYS building, walk along the path until you see "The Foothills" entrance. Enter from there and walk further up to find Fabulous Baker Boy.
