After drooling over images of its cakes online, I finally hauled the kids over to get a taste of The Fabulous Baker Boy ourselves. Nestled at The Foothills of Fort Canning Park, it was a nice and relaxing trot to the cafe, through greenery and flora.
The cafe itself is simply decorated and spacious, with comfortable lounge chairs decking its outdoor space.
We walked into the cafe and ordered ourselves a Red Velvet. I wanted to try the sandwiches but alas, we had already missed the lunch hours…
JJ was enthralled by the tiny heart sprinkles, and ready to pounce with his fork.
They could barely hold their forks and mouths back. I was like “wait, wait, WAIT! Mummy take a photo first!” LOL
The plate was clean within like 2 minutes?? JJ was busy cleaning up the crumbs, and licking his fork.
The owner of the cafe was really nice. I wanted my iced-coffee decaf, but they didn’t have decaf, so I asked for the coffee to be weak. He served me the espresso in a cup separately and said it’s probably better for me to pour it in myself, so I can control the coffee strength. He also said lots of preggie mamas do the same, and they only add in a little. (Hee, the things we do to kid ourselves…)
In terms of cushy-level of cafe furnishings and seating, Vera gives the all-thumbs. 
Since we walloped the cake so fast, the kids were soon off and about exploring the area. Vera was happily picking frangipani flowers off the ground.
Little brother joined her for a while, then decided to clamber atop this sculpture.
On our way out to the bus-stop, we found a small tree with interesting leaves; we plucked some and ended up doing leaf prints with crayon and paint.
All in all, the kids had fun, and mummy enjoyed herself too. Now I just have to figure out how to slow down the pace of their cake-eating so that it’s not so competitive and I can enjoy each bite more! (LOL)
I’m relishing our mummy dates, and hope I have the energy and determination to bring them for more.
How do you mummies like to date your child?
I loved the Red Velvet Cake too! Maybe you should secretly get an extra slice while they are playing next time, so that you can enjoy more of it?

Hahaha, I have a nagging suspicion the kids will spy me from a metre away and make a beeline for it then! Unless I’m really sneaky… Let you know how it goes.
Oooo I love Red Velvet! How lovely with that extra layer of chocolate

Hello Ai, sigh cakes are my weakness, and as health is something I’m watching closely, I try to limit my intake. But the occasional indulgence is a good thing, as a kind of reward, hee. Glad to hear you’re a fan of Red Velvet too!
