Milk and Manna is a home-based bake brand in Woodlands, Singapore, run by Faith, a self-taught home baker. Everything is made fresh in small batches and to order, with a focus on honest ingredients and simple, comforting bakes.
The name comes from the sweetness of milk and the provision of manna, reflecting the brand's philosophy that simple things can be deeply nourishing. The range centres on a few specialities: a soft, fluffy signature banana cake made with real bananas, rich fudgy chocolate brownies drizzled with nutella, biscoff and/or peanut butter, and creamy, savoury torched sushi bakes wrapped with seaweed sheets. Milk and Manna also has separate Sweet Bakes, Savoury Bakes, Seasonal Bakes and Gift Sets & Bundles categories for those looking for something to treat themselves or to gift.
Orders can be placed through the brand's online store or via WhatsApp, with bakes available in a range of sizes from small petite bites through to large sharing trays.
Milk and Manna started, like a lot of good home bakes do, with one person and a warm oven. Faith, a self-taught baker based in Woodlands, describes the brand as her little corner of comfort bakes — made fresh in small batches rather than mass-produced, with an emphasis on honest ingredients over anything fussy.
The name itself carries meaning: inspired by the sweetness of milk and the provision of manna, it's meant as a reminder that simple things can be deeply nourishing. That philosophy shows up in the way the menu is built — a handful of things done well, rather than an overwhelming list of options.
The standout is the Signature Banana Cake, a soft, fluffy bake made with real bananas. It comes in a spread of sizes to suit different occasions, from Petite Bites (3" x 3", ordered in a minimum of 15 pieces) through to a Classic Box (6" x 4"), and up to Sharing Trays in Small/Medium (7"/8") and Regular/XL (9"/10") sizes for bigger gatherings.
Right alongside it are the Chocolate Brownies — rich and fudgy, drizzled with nutella, biscoff and/or peanut butter — available in the same size range as the banana cake, from petite bites up to XL sharing trays. Both the banana cake and the brownies carry a "Popular" tag on several of their sizes, suggesting they're the bakes most people come back for.
For something different, Milk and Manna also does Sushi Bakes — a creamy, savoury, torched bake finished with seaweed sheets, offered as a Single Serve for one to two people, or as Party Trays in Medium (3-4 pax) and XL (6-8 pax) sizes for sharing. It's a savoury counterpoint to the sweeter side of the menu, and one of the bakes marked Popular on the site.
Alongside these three headline items, Milk and Manna also organises its full range into Sweet Bakes, Savoury Bakes, Seasonal Bakes, and Gift Sets & Bundles categories — useful for anyone looking to put together a gift box or try something beyond the core lineup, or to catch whatever seasonal bake is currently on offer.
As a home-based bakery, Milk and Manna's bakes are made to order rather than kept in constant stock, so there's a personal, small-batch feel to everything that goes out. Orders can be placed through the brand's online ordering site, or directly via WhatsApp for anyone who prefers to message through their order or ask a quick question first.
The bakery is based in Woodlands, Singapore, and can also be found and followed on Facebook and Instagram under the handle milkandmanna.sg for updates on new bakes, seasonal specials, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of what's coming out of the oven next.
For anyone in Singapore after a fresh banana cake, a proper fudgy brownie, or something a little different like a savoury sushi bake, Milk and Manna offers a small, tightly focused menu built around bakes that are, in Faith's words, made with honest ingredients, warm ovens, and joy — one slice at a time.
