In the past, desserts used to be the neglected part of a meal. People would fill up on mains and forget about the sweets. However, with Singapore's evolving food scene, beautiful desserts now distract or even overshadow the savoury items. If you love desserts, then indulge your sweet tooth at the 10 Best Dessert Cafes in Singapore!

1. Antoinette

Named after the last queen of France, Antoinette serves decadent desserts fit for royalty. Expect to gawk over delicate sweets such as the classic Mont Blanc ($9.10), Pavlova ($10.20) and Opera Matcha ($9.65) and in an elegant setting, no less. For those who haven't heard, they've also caught up to the salted egg yolk trend and launched their Salted Egg Yolk Croissant ($6.50) earlier this month!

2. Mad about Sucre

Run by a brother-sister duo, Mad about Sucre’s philosophy is simple. They aim to create delicious bakes by using natural ingredients, without pre-mixes or artificial flavouring. Other than specially customised fondant cakes, Mad about Sucre also offers an exquisite selection of small desserts. The San Domingue ($12.80) is a dome-shaped chocolate mousse filled with caramelised plantain vanilla cream and topped with a rum-filled jewel box. Other favourites include the Coco Citron ($9.80), a lemon curd tart with coconut mousse. Note: Mad about Sucre launched their new Spring/16 menu on 16 Feb, so for regulars, be sure to drop by for some surprises in store!

3. Pantler

Located among the hustle and bustle of Telok Ayer Street, Pantler is a Japanese-French style café that shines through in its subtlety. Part of their sweet selection includes Opera Cake, Ricotta Cheese Tart and Cassis Mont Blanc. But if you were to try just one creation, it has got to be the Yatsura, a dark chocolate and hazelnut cake.

4. 2am: Dessert bar

Janice Wong’s 2am: Dessert bar is one of the best fine dining places to indulge your sweet tooth in Singapore. Given how the team is constantly challenging boundaries to put desserts in the spotlight, expect the unexpected. Highlights include Cassius Plum ($24, pictured) and Apple Gold ($23).
