Luancehd in December 2021, Baker X @ Orchard Central is a project by Far East Organization to give budding home-baking entrepreneurs the opportunity to trial with a physical outlet and scale their business.
Through this initiative, Far East Organization aims to encourage the entry of new brands and enhance the business ecosystem in Singapore by providing customers with more choices and encouraging greater diversity.
Bakers get to work in a fully equipped baking studio and café, a physical space provided to them at no cost, over a period of 2 to 6 weeks to bake and sell. The cafe also houses social enterprise Foreword Coffee Roasters, which opens daily.
Kicking off the project was White’s Bakery, followed by Browned Butter Bakehouse, Mon Cerise Patisserie, Ree and Mummy, Flourcrafts, Simplybakes, and Egg Sugar Butter, Frosted by Fang, Arc-en-ciel, and Joobakes.
Supply Meet Dough (@supplymeetdough) is the 12th baker to take up residency at Baker X.
From 2 to 18 September 2022, Supply Meet Dough will be retailing festive favourites such as Shanghai Mooncakes and Pineapple Balls as well as their customers’ favourite Swiss Rolls and Ondeh Cookies.
