Hitting the Sweet Spot

Rows and rows of tempting cakes, macarons and pralines greeted us as we walked into SweetSpot, the new bakery at Marina Bay Sands.

Located at the entrance of tower 3 of the hotel, Sweetspot specialises in European style desserts and breads handmade by the bakery’s pastry chefs.

Heading the team is executive pastry chef Alejandro Luna. The 28-year-old is very passionate about desserts and chocolates in particular. Having grown up in a coca plantation in Venezuela, Chef Alejandro had his love for chocolate further cultivated by his mum and grandmother—both of whom are talented bakers.

SweetSpot’s signature desserts include the chocolate paradigm cake, mille feuille and nougat torte (the chef’s version of a snickers bar). Among the desserts we tried, the chocolate paradigm takes the cake. The dark chocolate cake is made from five types of chocolates. We loved the velvety smooth texture and the fact that it wasn’t cloyingly sweet.

Desserts at SweetSpot start from $8.80.
