Twin Divine, Miss Clarity Cafe

I'm back.



And I have tons of backdates plus those of Singapore that I didn't post before my vacation.

=(

I hadn’t felt this excited about a Sunday Time article ever since my er- interview. Shameless confession aside, my heart skipped a beat and my eyes lit up when I read that Sunday Times was going to publish their list of 'Top 50 Yummiest Cakes in Singapore'.

Miraculously, I found myself mildly disappointed. I don’t know if it’s a case of “too much of a good thing …” but I was impassive to the celebratory display of cakes, pastries and shh-don’t-tell-your-dentist desserts.

To be honest, only a grand total of 3 items made my heart flutter.

1. Mille crepes from Classic Cakes except Sunset Way/ Clementi seems like such a faraway place. I don’t know any other place in Singapore that sells this but I do have my heart set on trying Lady M’s famous creation.

2. Le Royale from Canele Pâtisserie Chocolaterie. It’s funny how I have tried about 10 different cakes and pastries from Canele yet never ordered Le Royale despite its sound reputation.

3. Twin Divine from Miss Clarity Café.



The article described this dessert as “rich, rich, rich and utterly divine”.

The last time I read a similar description, the picture shown was that of Andrea Casiraghi. Haha…Not to outdone, Miss Clarity Café’s Twin Divine was a royal treat in its right.



The chocolate fudge was made with Valrhona chocolate, stacked atop French cream cheese and a thin layer of crushed digestive biscuits. Apparently, this cake underwent a name change (its original name was Chocolate Fudge Cake -yawn-) after a customer described it as "divine". Whoa, if I had been that customer, this would probably have been renamed "Hands off, it's MINE".

I feel like I have just found a pot of gold as both Clarity outlets are situated within ten-minute walking distances from either home or school. It’s one of those cakes where I wouldn’t mind sharing … but for the sake of world peace, let’s just get two slices ok?

Twin Divine, double the delight.
