Singapore's pastry scene has definitely come a long way. With more Singaporeans muttering "let me eat cake", the bakery/ cafe scene has mushroomed into a vibrant hoola as hot as the oven itself. Everyone wants in on a piece of action, cakes get a multi-tier revamp and choices proliferate.
Why have chocolate cake when you can have rich Valrhona Chocolate Fondant, Chocolate Mousse Ganuche, Le Royale, Café Noir or Gateaux Chocolat?

Compared to the fancy offerings out there, Dino's cakes look almost poletarian, very 1990s. I have no idea why this cake house bears namesake of Fred Flintstone's pet. My first encouters with baked goods were cake-moulded around these "old school pastries". These unpretentious-looking cakes may be the Ugly Bettys of the fashionable pastry world but like Betty Suarez, they cajole a sense of familiar comfort, that warm fuzzy feel-good feeling.
