Baker’s Brew is a Singapore cake studio known for customised celebration cakes, baking classes and its popular pandan gula melaka cake, and it comes up often when Muslim customers plan birthdays and weddings. The register answer is at the top of this page; here is the context around it.
What Baker’s Brew says
Baker’s Brew addresses the question directly on its own FAQ page. The brand states, “Our cake shop is not halal-certified; however, we do not use lard or pork in our products.” It also invites customers with additional requirements to contact the team directly before ordering. That is a clear and honest position: an ingredient policy on two specific items, stated by the brand itself, without any claim of certification.
What this means for you
A no pork, no lard statement is not the same thing as halal certification. Certification covers the entire supply chain, including gelatine sources, alcohol-based flavourings and essences, emulsifiers, and how ingredients are handled and stored. None of that is verified by an ingredient statement, so ordering from Baker’s Brew becomes a personal judgement about ingredients rather than a verifiable certification status. If certification is your standard, treat the studio as unverified rather than as either halal or non-halal, and take up the brand’s own invitation to ask detailed questions before a big order.
