A Han Bakes is a home-based cake business in Ang Mo Kio, Singapore, and its listing name says orders are by pre-order only. It holds a 5.0 Google rating from 7 reviews, so the score is a thin guide.
A good home baker gets the fundamentals right: moist sponge, frosting that is rich without being cloying, and fillings and fruit that taste fresh. Because a home-based business works by pre-order and usually by appointment, planning is the most important part: ask how far ahead to book, what sizes and flavours are available, what the cut-off is, how to pay and how to collect or receive your order, and confirm the time and pickup details before you travel. Popular dates such as weekends, birthdays and festive seasons fill up quickly, so regulars order early. In Singapore's heat, cream and fresh fruit need to stay chilled, so ask how to transport and store a cake and how long it keeps.
