Unlike other French pastries commonly found, canelés are not as easily available in Singapore. However, Cheryll Cassia Walla, a Singapore-born Indonesian and former YouTube analyst, has set out to change that with her home bakery, Cassia Canelés. What sets her creations apart is a steadfast commitment to using only high-quality ingredients and an innate flair for innovation. The result? A delectable assortment of canelés, each boasting unique flavors inspired by a fusion of tastes from all corners of the world.
