Moving into a new home is one of life’s biggest milestones. Whether you rent, resale, or BTO, you’re making one of the most significant financial commitments of your life: so why not celebrate it with a housewarming party!

If you’re wondering what to get for a housewarming gift, your first thought is probably household items, appliances, and home decor. All good choices. But why not break from tradition with a unique idea: a housewarming cake that that doubles as a gorgeous party centerpiece!

It takes the new homeowner’s mind off catering dessert, allowing them to focus on getting their home ready for its first visitors. It’s also a sweet way to mark the start of a new chapter, symbolising the arrival of sweetness and happiness into the new home.

Choosing the Right Housewarming Cake: Themes and Flavours

The right start to a new home starts with the right cake. For the theme of your housewarming cake, consider ideas that resonate with new beginnings and fresh starts.



How about a cake adorned with edible “Keys to Happiness” or “Home Sweet Home” messages? An edible topper shaped like the home’s unit number or move-in date? Or something cheeky like a Rustic Construction Cake or Pastel Terrazo Cake as a nod to their ongoing home renovation?


You could make it subtle with edible flowers symbolising new beginnings and optimism. Go all out with a Rustic Pineapple Topped Cake (a nod to the traditional Chinese custom of rolling a pineapple in a new house to bring fortune). Or customise a cake that celebrates the new homeowners themselves, peppered motifs of their hobbies or pets. There are infinite ways to celebrate this new journey in a new home!

As for flavours, if you’re ordering the cake for a party maybe opt for a crowd-pleaser that’ll appeal to a wide range of guests. Edith Patisserie offers some of the best chocolate cake in Singapore with rich, moist layers—a guaranteed hit with a classic flavour profile. A sweet and tangy cheesecake delivery in Singapore can also be refreshing for a daytime gathering, welcoming guests in with a light and breezy atmosphere.
