A Thai Birthday Celebration For My Awesome Possum Cherry Blossom Niece
Nieces were in town, and the doting aunt in me did a happy somersault backflip .. woohoo yay yipee . “Nothing but the best CAKE” motto is deeply ingrained in me, so much so that I went in search of a yummylicious cake for my niece’s belated birthday celebration in Bangkok. A birthday cake is not just a cake; it’s my way of showing my love, I guess.
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, cakes in Thailand are mostly all looks, but taste mediocre. I did what I had to do .. BTS+MRT to get a cake worthy of my awesome niece. Well, I would have done the same in KL, but of course with a car.
That brought me to 2 places: NYCC New York Cheesecake and Custard Nakamura.
NYCC New York Cheesecake
New York Cheesecake at NYCC New York Cheesecake was my first choice, but 1,000 THB for a whole cake was just too expensive for jobless-me. Buh-bye .. till next time.

Custard Nakamura
My second choice is a cake, any cake from Custard Nakamura, for Japanese cakes won’t go wrong with the girls. Lucky me, for they have Strawberry Shortcake .. 630 baht for a 15cm Strawberry Shortcake and I got a very happy birthday girl. Perfecto!
I read customers complaints of the service at Custard Nakamura on their FB here. I thought that staff are not immaculate, but not too bad. The bakery can write birthday message on the cake, on top of a chocolate disc. I asked them to write Happy Birthday in Thai … after they are done with the writing, the staff asked me to double check the name .. and even shown interest in the short name. Btw, it’s an abbreviation as niece’s name is rather long ..
After hearing that I’ll be traveling quite a distance to Lat Phrao with the cake, the staff automatically put in some ice packs to keep the cake cool. She was apologetic that knife is chargeable at 20 baht, but told me that candles are free.
They also sell bread and pastries and I got Butter roll beef (41 baht), Chinjou Rosu, aka green pepper steak bun (42 baht), a hamburger (58 baht) and cream puff (45 baht) for bf and I.
