Botak Cake is a home-based Basque cheesecake business in Singapore, built around a bespoke recipe, baked to order with premium ingredients. Orders can be picked up at One Holland Village, 7 Holland Village Way, outside Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine, #02-20.
The cheesecake began as a dinner party staple, made by Fernando for lunches and dinners with close friends. First-time tasters would go quiet for a moment before declaring it the best cheesecake they'd ever had, and leftovers packed to take home were reliably finished by the next morning. After a year and a half of this reaction, even a friend's daughter, a professional baker, asked for the recipe. Now, Fernando's cheesecake is available beyond their inner circle.
The business is run by two people: Fernando, who came up with the bespoke recipe, and his partner, who handles everything else. The cheesecake is available in two sizes, a 1kg (6-inch) and a 2kg (8-inch), with orders placed via WhatsApp and paid for via PayNow.
Botak Cake began not as a business, but as a dinner party tradition. Fernando and his partner love hosting lunches and dinners for close friends, and without fail, dessert has always been Fernando's specialty: Basque cheesecake.
The first time someone tasted Fernando's cheesecake, there was usually a brief moment of silence, followed by a soft whisper: "This is the best cheesecake I've ever had in my life." Leftovers were happily packed for guests to take home, and almost without exception, the next morning brought a message that the entire cake had been finished overnight, not a single crumb left. This went on for a year and a half. At one point, even a friend's daughter, a professional baker, asked for Fernando's recipe — a request that was politely declined.
Eventually, Fernando and his partner decided it was time to share the joy of his cheesecake beyond their inner circle. Botak Cake was born, offering the same bespoke recipe, baked to order, with premium ingredients, to anyone who wants to try it. As the team puts it, one slice is never enough.
Botak Cake keeps things focused on a single product done well: Basque cheesecake, available in two sizes. The 1kg (6-inch) size suits smaller gatherings, while the 2kg (8-inch) size is built for bigger groups.
Botak Cake is run by two people. Fernando is the one who came up with the bespoke recipe, while his partner handles everything else — from orders and payments to coordinating pickup.
Orders are placed via WhatsApp, and payment is made through PayNow upon ordering. While 48 hours advance notice is preferred, the team encourages customers to call anyway if they need something last minute, as a spare cake might just be available. Delivery is available for an additional fee, or customers can collect their cheesecake from the pickup point at One Holland Village, 7 Holland Village Way, outside Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine, #02-20.
What started as a way to end dinner parties on a high note has become a small, dedicated cheesecake business, built on the same bespoke recipe and premium ingredients that had guests finishing entire cakes overnight. For anyone curious what all the fuss is about, Botak Cake offers a chance to find out for themselves.
