First off - this is a great discovery for all cake lovers.SoOOO good that I was actually torn between sharing the find and run the risk of having cakes sell out before I can get them myself. But I guess I'm a good, sharing foodie.At the time of this review, Chalk Farm is the latest addition to the food central at the basement of Paragon. To call them a simple cake shop is inadequate. As I saw on their website, a cake company would be much more apt instead.The shop design was minimalistic and chi

At the time of this review, Chalk Farm is the latest addition to the food central at the basement of Paragon. To call them a simple cake shop is inadequate. As I saw on their website, a cake company would be much more apt instead.
The shop design was minimalistic and chic - a simple, elegant white counter top to showcase a dazzling array of cakes, brownies and cupcakes behind a glass case enough to make any sweet tooth quiver.
Needless to say, I jumped right in, getting a slice of Chocolate Guinness Loaf, Lemon Yogurt Cake and a Red Velvet Cupcake at about $14.
My shots taken of the cut slices aren't that fantastic so I'd just omit them here - but boy oh boy did I have a good time gobbling down the cakes and making a general pig out of myself. The Chocolate Guinness Loaf was truly unique - with the stout being truly and thoroughly infused into the cake, you'll get the malty burnt flavour as an aftertaste with each bite. For those not so into chocolatey or strong flavours, I'd recommend the Lemon Yogurt Cake. Great fruity fragrance and tasted sublime. It was light and refreshing, yet immensely satisfying at the same time.
I still have some photos to share of the cake delights from Chalk Farm:
Verdict: A must try if you are in town and looking for cake. Get your drink from else where but oh yea.. the cakes from Chalk Farm.
