One of its most popular creations: the Popstar, a salted caramel chocolate cake crowned with a delicious and photogenic ring of popcorn. Another crowd-pleaser is the Locale, featuring the familiar flavours of pandan and gula melaka; a towering green dream of pandan cake layers sandwiched with addictive gula melaka icing and topped with caramel and coconut shavings.
