Ever since the start of the pandemic, Singaporeans were forced to spend more time at home and most have resorted to looking at beautiful pastry photos on instagram to stay sane. Some have picked up baking as a hobby and have even begun selling unique and mouth-watering goodies from the comfort of their own home. 
 For a quick fix for your sugar rush this week, why not switch it up and try some freshly baked goods from one of these 8 home bakers in Singapore?
