Hairloom and Caramel

Hairloom and Caramel salon-cafe-home at shaw towers, an eclectic cafe set up by 4 men. Quite difficult to not give off the gay vibe, which they do, very strongly. All cupcakes baked by one of the guys too, who learnt to bake from his mother and grandmother. Initially i thought it was just another one of those pretty cafes set up by people who frequently read Decor8 and OhJoy!, one of those people who go around looking for eclectic furniture in an effort to give their cafe that mish-mash look which is so popular and so pretty but kinda unoriginal now. But after visiting their blog, i'm even more impressed with them! Turns out they did source for old furniture, but more than just being fortunate (or rich) enough to find all those pretty chairs, they actually had them upholstered and repainted! Kudos for the taste and vision then =) Don't have a photo of the chairs, but you can see the before and after at their website. Amazing, even though i know they probably had it done, but still, amazing =)

Cupcakes all handmade by that one guy in a pink tshirt. They do lunch and dinner too. And pricey haircuts at the adjoining salon.The guys painted the wall behind themselves!THE BEST tiramisu to be had there, we've got to go sometime =)=) Smooth, creamy and baileys-soaked, so glad i didn't pick a cupcake. Although the cupcakes were really gorgeous too.Most photos from Aramia. Thanks, hope you don't mind.

PS. Another giant rainbow! Photo is unedited this time, cos it wouldn't have been an improvement, haha. But this felt really close this time, because I was on the ground level, almost as if walking further front, you'd walk yourself closer to the rainbow. Outside raffles city, so pretty! =)
