Once you have the occasion in mind, you select a design. Yes, you can opt for classic vanilla or chocolate cakes, but it is always better to pick something fancier. Like, for your friend's birthday, you can get a car or a sports-themed cake. Similarly, on Valentine's Day or your anniversary, heart-shaped cakes are an 'it' thing. So, the design you choose, be it a photo cake or a cartoon must match the recipient's choice, personality, and the occasion.

So, if they lead a vegan lifestyle, it is best if you get a vegan cake. If you are unaware of the recipient's dietary preferences, you can ask someone. If not, it is always safe to get an eggless cake to ensure you do not offend anyone.

With a massive variety of flavours in cakes in Singapore, you can easily get confused about which one to pick. So, how do you get out of this fix? It is simple! You get a cake for loved ones in their favourite flavour. That can be durian, red velvet, coffee, caramel, matcha, or anything else, as long as it's their go-to flavour because it is the best and safest choice. If you do not know their fav cake flavour, you need to ask around, and if that does not work, you will have to wing it with mixed fruit or chocolate cakes.
Size

Now, a cake comes in certain sizes- 500 grams, 1 kilogram, and so on. So, how will you decide what size should the cake be? If you are attending an intimate event, a 500 to 1000 grams cake is sufficient, as everyone gets a slice, and there is some still left. However, for a grander celebration, you can choose a bigger one. So, if it's your wedding, you need a massive cake, but if it's a housewarming party, a 2kg cake is pretty good. Just remember that it is a cake for loved ones, so it is like a gift, and it need not be massive or overwhelming for the recipient.
Costing

Everything in life comes down to the cost! You can empty your pockets to get a cake of the century, but is it worth it? It is a cake, so it should not make you feel like you have burned a hole in your pocket. Some cakes, be it for design, brand, or flavour cost steep. So, you should pick a cake for loved ones that fit your budget and leave you happy instead of bitter about buying an expensive gift.
