Why Our Cakes Are Less Sweet And Why Customers Love Them

At Lovey Patisserie Cafe, one of the most common things we hear from our customers is:
“Your cakes are not too sweet, they’re just right.”

Being less sweet is not a coincidence. It is a conscious choice and a key part of our Asian-inspired dessert philosophy.

What Does “Less Sweet” Mean?

When we say our cakes are less sweet, it doesn’t mean they lack flavour.
Instead, it means our desserts are carefully balanced so that no single element overpowers the others.

You’ll notice:

  • Light and fluffy sponge rather than dense cake layers

  • Fresh cream that complements, not dominates

  • Natural flavours from ingredients like fruit, tea, pandan, and coconut

This balance allows you to enjoy a slice without feeling overwhelmed.

Why Asian-Style Cakes Are Less Sweet

Asian-style desserts traditionally focus on texture, aroma, and balance, rather than heavy sweetness.
This style of cake is especially popular among customers who prefer desserts that are:

  • Not overly rich

  • Easy to enjoy after a meal

  • Suitable for sharing

At Lovey, this philosophy is reflected in our chiffon sponge cakes, Swiss rolls, and Basque cheesecakes.

Made with Fresh Cream, No Preservatives

All of our cakes are made using fresh cream and no preservatives.
Because of this, sweetness needs to be carefully controlled — allowing the freshness of the ingredients to shine.

This also means our cakes are best enjoyed fresh and properly refrigerated.

A Favourite Among Our Customers

Many first-time customers are surprised by how light our cakes feel, and many return specifically because of this balanced sweetness.
It’s one of the reasons our Fresh Strawberry Shortcake and Coconut Pandan Basque Cheesecake remain best sellers.
