Whimsically named after a stop on London’s Northern Tube Line, Chalk Farm was founded in late 2010. Back then, the company’s presence was strictly online. Specializing in unfussy but elegant cakes, there were just two on the menu: a carrot whiskey sultana and a deep, dark gingerbread, both of which were highly popular during Christmas time. Other cakes were gradually incorporated into the collection, such as salted caramel macadamia cupcakes, a chocolate guinness cake, a red velvet with its roof of raspberries, and kueh salaat, a Nyonya delicacy, for which it has become incredibly well known.

We know Chalk Farm is named after a train stop in London, however wouldn’t a more befitting name for it be Cake Farm? Anyway, Chalk Farm is elegance personified on a plate. Even though they started off with merely two basic flavours on the menu, they’ve come leaps and bounds and now proudly offer more than 20 options which also include some local favourites like coconut gula melaka, pandan durian, kueh salat and sugee. The showstopper here is of course the chocolate Guinness cake paired up with classic flavours like rum butterscotch bundt, espresso meringue and salted caramel red velvet. Time to get your knives, forks and bare hands out!
