Brand Tone

Whimsical & Nostalgic, Artisanal & Passionate, Approachable & Modern

Brand Values

• •Heritage & Storytelling: Deep respect for Singaporean history and local culture, particularly the legacy of Keong Saik Road and its people, which is woven into their product creations and brand narrative.
• •Innovation & Fusion: A core value is the creative blending of traditional Singaporean/Asian flavors (e.g., Gula Melaka, Pandan, Otak, Muah Chee) with contemporary Western pastry techniques.
• •Quality & Craftsmanship: Commitment to producing high-quality, freshly baked goods with attention to detail in both flavor and presentation.
• •Aesthetic Appeal: Strong emphasis on the visual presentation of their pastries and the ambiance of their cafes, often described as minimalist, modern, and Instagrammable.
• •Community Connection: While not always explicitly stated, their focus on local flavors and stories fosters a connection with the local community and identity.

Best Practices

• •Embrace Storytelling: Consistently weave in the heritage and inspiration behind your bakes. Use product descriptions to share these narratives, connecting customers to the cultural significance (e.g., the Sor Hei and the Majies).
• •Use Vivid & Evocative Language: Describe the unique flavor fusions and textures in a way that tantalizes the senses (e.g., "flaky layers," "molten centre," "umami bomb," "hint of nostalgia").
• •Maintain Visual Cohesion: Ensure all visuals (photography, cafe decor, packaging) reflect the brand’s blend of modern aesthetics and nostalgic charm. Highlight the "Instagrammable" quality of the products and spaces.
• •Spotlight the "Twist": Always emphasize the innovative fusion of local ingredients with contemporary pastry techniques. This is a key differentiator.
• •Engage with Whimsical Warmth: In customer interactions, especially on social media, use a friendly, approachable, and slightly playful tone that reflects the brand's personality. Be informative but also charming.
