A cozy cafe nestled in the suburbs of Hougang, Ciel Patisserie offers a range of artisanal French delicacies baked to please the eye and the taste buds. Named after the sky (Ciel refers to sky or heaven in French), Ciel Patisserie aims to serve desserts that taste like a slice of heaven!
Founded by Chara Lum, who believes that good desserts do not have to be fancy or pricey to taste good, Ciel’s desserts are created whilst strictly following the philosophy of French and European techniques. Motivated by the joy of seeing the people around her enjoying her homemade desserts, Chara started baking with the hope of spreading joy through her bakes. Upon graduating with a Diploma in Pâtisserie from Le Cordon Bleu and completing an apprenticeship with Fauchon in Paris, Chara returned to Singapore to fulfill her dream of sharing her delicious bakes with the public.

Offering a wide variety of artisanal cakes, tarts and pastries, your mouth will water as you scroll through Ciel Patisserie’s product page. Every item on their menu looks fancy enough to belong on a tiered tea tray, ready to be served at an exquisite party. You won’t be able to dig in without taking plenty of photos for your social media feeds first! Their bestsellers include their Strawberry Shortcake, Chocolate Mousse Bombe, Lemon Meringue tart and Fraiche Fresh Fruit Tart. Quiches are also available for those who favour savoury treats.
Although most items available in stores are also available online, there are certain exceptions. Products under their ‘Giftings’ category are only available for online order and products such as Madeleines, Choux and Cream Scones are only available in-store.
