Run by one of Singapore’s premier pastry chefs, Tarte by Cheryl Koh offers tarts in a range of decadent seasonal flavours. But rather than get your items to-go, why not dine-in at the café and sample this beautiful desert: a golden-brown crust filled with zesty yuzu cream and topped with premium Korean strawberries, plus a drizzle of homemade strawberry coulis to finish. Be sure to snap a photo of the picture-perfect treat before digging in.

Lamingtons – which are typically large squares of butter- or vanilla-flavoured sponge cake dipped in icing and smothered in desiccated coconut – are one of Australia’s most well-known desserts. You can get them at Baker & Cook, which specialises in creations from the Land Down Under. Their strawberry lamington is a moist, sweet and slightly tangy delight, with the fragrant desiccated coconut pairing wonderfully with the fruity berry notes.

Multiple outlets in Singapore.

Nesuto is famous for its gorgeous cakes, and one of their most popular items is the strawberry shortcake – which you’ll need to pre-order at least 48 hours in advance. It has alternating layers of vanilla soufflé sponge cake and fresh strawberries folded into a velvety vanilla mascarpone Chantilly cream. Only fresh vanilla pods are used, and the cake is finished with edible gold flakes – making it perfect for a special occasion.

If you’re running errands in town and need a strawberry-flavoured pick-me-up, then pay a visit to Mini One at Takashimaya’s basement food hall. These adorable, bite-sized bakes consist of a chewy piece of strawberry mochi studded with tiny bits of caramelised white chocolate. There’s a strong strawberry fragrance, and the flavours complement each other well. We challenge you not to scarf down the entire packet all at once.

Homegrown gelato purveyor Birds of Paradise pairs classic flavours with aromatic botanicals, and their strawberry basil gelato remains an evergreen favourite years after it first launched. The creamy dessert elevates the basic strawberry flavour profile with the addition of basil for a fresh, fruity and herbaceous delight. Order a scoop – or two – on their signature thyme waffle cone to beat the heat on a sunny afternoon.

For Japanese-style cakes that are almost too pretty to eat, there’s Flor Pâtisserie, which now has three outlets. It does two equally scrumptious strawberry desserts: a strawberry shortcake and, our personal favourite, a strawberry soufflé. The latter is a light and spongy cheesecake – made by hand-kneading egg yolks into cream cheese to ensure a smooth consistency – topped with fresh strawberries that are glazed for a glistening finish.

Specialising in traditional British fare, The English House by Marco Pierre White extends this philosophy to the dessert menu – on which you’ll find the Eton Mess. This is a beloved British pudding composed of fresh strawberries, crisp meringue and airy whipped cream that’ve been combined together in a bowl. The version here includes raspberries, and is finished with compote and vanilla ice cream, making for a sweet end to your meal.

Everyone loves a good old-fashioned donut piped with tart strawberry compote. To sample one with a twist, nab the Summerberries donut from standout joint The Fat Kid Bakery. It’s stuffed with ample filling made from tart and juicy berries, and is perfect for those who want a more sour take on the dessert. They also used to offer a to-die-for strawberry shortcake donut, which they’ll hopefully bring back soon.

Helmed by Janice Wong, perhaps Singapore’s most popular pastry chef, 2am Dessert Bar is no ordinary establishment. Instead, its offerings are works of art on a plate: including the signature Strawberry Caprese. This eye-catching confection is composed of strawberry ice cream that’s been moulded into a thick disc and crowned with a raspberry puff, fresh and pickled strawberries, chartreuse jelly, lavender marshmallows and a drizzle of bright-red strawberry sauce.
