SweetSpot

Taking away dessert after dinner, I received quite pleasant comments from pastry lovers for SweetSpot. It was a good chance for us to check out the standards this time.We bought five cupcakes in total. They were tiny but very delicated and tasty.They looked gorgeous right? Personally, I like the strawberries cupcake most. Juicy and fresh berries yet the overall was not too sweet.

However, a thing you must know that they have no seat for their customers, so expect to stand and lean on these designer stands inside the cafe.

Lego is something that accompanies the childhood of most people and now it has been turned into an art exhibition which has been held since last year and will end this April at the Art Science Musuem, Marina Bay Sands. But the main thing is not the arts but the cakes at Sweetspot.White Raspberry Cake ($9)
Though enrobed with a green chocolate case, this consists neither matcha nor pistachio. But is simply a very sweet white chocolate mousse with tangy raspberry compote and a layer of sponge cake. The texture was smooth and everything fits well, but not convincing for a second try.Whipsands ($7)Whipsands ($7)
Compared to the lego cake, Whipsands, a chocolate caramel cake, would leave one yearning for more.
It consists of a sweet Milk chocolate with thick gooey caramel and candied cashew and an addictive layer of crunchy praline at the base.Sweet Thyme and Orange ($7)
The Sweet Thyme and Orange sounds special and worth trying if you don't mind herbs and spices in cakes. The mandarin orange cream centre sitting on a hazelnut meringue sponge cake is surrounded by a thyme-infused white chocolate mousse. The sweetness of the white chocolate mousse overshadowed the taste of thyme though.Lychee rose mousse cake ($9)
No matter how poor the food may taste, I usually tell people to go for a try because taste is subjective. But this Lychee rose mousse with raspberry could not have been produced by the same team which came up with the delicious creations above. It was not mousse but like a chewy rubber which could be due to too much gelatin powder. It is just too simple to be priced as the most expensive cake among the selection.

In short, this was my Nth visit but I will still be back. One thing good about the shop is that some items, besides their signature chocolate paradigm, often change after a certain period. Apart from this, they have macarons, bread and chocolate truffles just like a typical Patisserie. Did I forget to say that their giant macadamia peanut butter($2.50) cookie was sinfully delicious too?

Macaroons has been a newly sweet dessert that are very popular nowadays. Macaroons have an unique yet cute shape with many colours. In between there's a layer of cream. I love the most the dark chocolate and blueberry the most among all. The dark chocolate has a little bit heavy chocolate taste and for blueberry, I think it;s simply because I love blue berry fruit itself ^^
Overall they are all very sweet!! (Ehem, not a good choice for anyone who is on diet ;)

Bon Appetite!

This time I bought the chocolate with orange flavour and I loved it! Prefer this one to the lemon macaroon that I had yesterday. The orange and chocoalte aroma was just lovely. I had to down a bottle of water after having it though. That's cos there were pretty sweet(obviously,bcos macaroons are supposed to be sweet). But anyhoos,this one's another must try!!!

SweetSpot, a hotel bakery from Marina Bay Sands located at tower 3 hotel atrium ,

once you step in the bakery you can smell the fragance of the pastries , and lot of variety of pastries display on the shelves

they have tarts , butter crossaint, macarons etc

We ordered 12 pc of macarons take way that come with a nice box, u choose the favours e.g Rasberry with Dark Chocolate, Green Tea, Strawberry, Lemon, Hazelnut, Pistachio . The macarons are crispy , chewy and not too sweet . But quite expensive as 1 macarons cost around $ 2

this is supposed to be their signature chocolate cake which is supposed to sell out very early and quickly so i thought i better jump in and get it in the morning before all the crowds come. the presentation is very good and artistic. but it cost like $12++ for just this small little cupcake thing. the taste is alright. very chocolatey. supposed to be made from 3 or 4 different chocolates. overall, it is good as a gift but not really good enough for seconds. service is ok but really fake. their breads are really good here!

another one of my macaron tastings. hmmm... not one of the best. it's passable but then really it's a bit too crumbly and crispy... the filling is also not fantastic... overall, it's just one sweet crumbly crispy thing with no real taste... just a lot of sugar... like almond with sugar only... not really recommended.... rather expensive too. guess it's the location. nice presentation and the shop looks good but the foods are not that great in taste at all. their pretzel breads are fantastic though!! best pretzel bread in singapore!

Located at the ground floor at the MBS hotel side, this dessert place is pretty eye-catching, not to mention that the chocolate/ cookies smell is simply irresistible. I was not into chocolate that day, hence I bought this gorgeous looking pinkish dessert! It is like the giant version of macaron, and it tastes like one too. I like the crispiness of the meringue kind of crusts. The fresh but slightly sour raspberries in between the crusts balances the sweetness of the meringue so well. Love it!

I had a very sinful dessert as sweet spot at marina bay sand. this dessert is made up of chocolates, very fattening. Some more i ate this as supper. one mouth and i start regretting. but it was so delicious that you simply cannot stop. i believe it is worth the calories!

They definitely have a good spot at the hotel foyer and passers by for sure to slow down their foot steps and gaze at the pastries and bread that smell wonderfully from this shop. They have a small sitting area of 2 to 3 tall tables for people who wants a cup of coffee. I went through the range of bread and buns and got myself a ham and brie crossiant at $4.50 each and a madeleine @ $1.50 each. The crossiant was lovely especially they will warm it up upon request but the madeleine was so so only. Their macaroons were very tempting and per piece was $2.50 each, perhaps the next time.

This is the most beautiful mooncake packaging i've ever seen so far! It's from Marina Bay Sands SweetSpot.

SweetSpot is actually an European dessert specialist and yet they can make such good mooncakes according to our chinese tradition and with such beautiful packaging too! At first i'm a bit skeptical on the quality and taste of the mooncake as it's not from a traditional chinese restaurant, however after tasting, i'm very surprised! It's definitely one the best mooncakes i've tasted! Smooth white lotus seed paste and very fragrant too! Egg yolk is fresh too. All in all, it's really a very satisfying mooncakes savoury!

i had a very sinful dessert as sweet spot at marina bay sand. this dessert is made up of five layers of chocolates, very fattening. one mouth and i start regretting. but it was so delicious that you simply cannot stop. i believe it is worth the calories!

I have always been having strawberry shortcake for my birthday cake, as I love the light and fluffy vanilla sponge cake, creamy vanilla cream and fresh strawberries that strawberry shortcake will have. I thought this year I would be on the search for my strawberry shortcake again, but my hubby bought me a Tiramisu cake!

After the Lion King show at MBS, he turned up with a Sweet Spot cake box and told me it’s a Tiramisu cake. I was thinking, “How nice could it be… why is it not a strawberry shortcake?”

After having the Tiramisu cake, it really changed my mind. It is comparable to my love for strawberry shortcake. Sweet Spot Tiramisu cake is indeed appetizing and scrumptious! The taste was not over-whelming and it fits my love of light and fluffy cake... and this comes with the velvety light cream and cocoa powder dust.

I simply love it... now my next target - Tiramisu cake!
