From tiny Jalan Pisang bakery to North Bridge Road legacy
Founded in 2012 by self-taught baker Nursyazanna Syaira, the bakery began in her mum’s kitchen before opening an outlet along Jalan Pisang in Kampong Glam in 2013.
Its signature Nutella Red Velvet cupcake — a filled confection that redefined the classic cupcake — was a best seller, said the Fluff Bakery website. Since then, they have sold over a hundred flavours of cupcakes.
