The Headless Baker Review: Earl Grey Cakes, Sea Salt Cookies And More From $2 At Buona Vista

Having worked in a French patisserie in Melbourne, as well as a stint at Starter Lab , the couple was inspired to open something they could call their own. 10 Ghim Moh Food Centre Stalls To Check Out After Your Ghim Moh Marketing Food at The Headless Baker There were more than six varieties of bakes when we headed down to the stall early one weekday morning. The Lemon Pistachio ($3) first caught my attention as it was delicately decorated with crushed pistachios and rose petals.

The little square cake was fluffy, moist, and buttery with a punch of citrus tartness. While the Lemon Pistachio was my personal favourite, the adorable Earl Grey Lavender ($4) Bundt cake impressed my colleague the most.

The ridges of the Bundt mold created a perfect crevice for the same icing glaze to be evenly distributed, adding a tinge of sweetness to every bite. For those who don’t like their sweet treats super sweet, you will be happy to hear that the owners have actually tweaked their recipes and lowered their sugar content to suit the elderly in the Ghim Moh estate. Those with a case of chocolate fever can opt for the Chocolate Bundt ($4) instead.

The chocolate Bundt cake was also more dense, making it a heavier indulgence than the other two cakes. The Scones here are only $2 a pop, and they come with a packet of strawberry jam.

Cosy up with these slightly savoury biscuits with a cup of tea or spread of butter, or clotted cream if you’re atas. Infused with the toasty fragrance of wheat or oats and speckled with dried berries, these scones are also great on their own.

These crumbly chocolate nuggets are wickedly rich and chocolatey, further elevated in taste by a light sprinkling of sea salt. Be sure to give a call or drop a message to check if any of these items are available before heading down as the owners are free-reining in creativity, rolling out new flavours weekly.

New items to look out for are savoury breads such as their Basil And Tomato Focaccia at $2 a pan. Ambience at The Headless Baker Located a hot 10-minute walk from Buona Vista MRT Station, The Headless Baker is a stark but nice contrast to the other hawker stalls at Ghim Moh Food Centre. The spot as well makes for a great tea break after shopping at the nearby wet marketplace—I just wish the stall will still be here before the start of my future budget tai tai life.

Heck, I already went back to the hawker stall at Ghim Moh once more before this article got published. Hawker stalls selling affordable and pretty cakes that taste great are few and far between.
