If you’re a durian lover like me, you probably know that not all durian desserts are created equal. Some barely whisper “durian,” while others pack a punch that makes your taste buds sing. Recently, I had the pleasure of being sponsored by The Durian Bakery, and they absolutely did not disappoint. They sent over their signature 6-inch durian cake and a box of durian mochi—and here’s my honest review.
The 6-Inch Signature Durian Cake
First up: the classic cake set – it comes with a metal cake knife, a birthday cake topper and 10 gold candles. Visually, it’s a stunner—simple, elegant, and topped with delicate white chocolate flakes and a generous layer of durian purée. But let’s be honest, with durian, it’s all about the taste.

Rich and creamy cake
From the very first bite, you get that unmistakable, rich Mao Shan Wang flavor—intense, creamy, and luxuriously smooth. The sponge layers were light and airy, creating the perfect contrast to the decadent durian cream. It’s not overly sweet (thankfully), and the balance between cake and durian is just right. It genuinely feels like a premium durian experience in cake form.

Durian Mochi
Next, the durian mochi—small, chewy parcels filled with a velvety durian center. These were a delight. The mochi skin was soft and slightly sticky, wrapping around a chilled durian filling that exploded with flavor in every bite. Pop them straight out of the fridge for the best texture. They’re bite-sized but dangerously addictive—you might want to hide the box if you’re not planning to share.
Final Thoughts
I’ve tried my fair share of durian desserts, and The Durian Bakery is now firmly at the top of my list. You can tell they use quality ingredients and there’s genuine craftsmanship in how the desserts are put together.
If you’re shopping for a birthday cake for a durian fanatic—or just want to indulge—this is the place to order from. Huge thanks to The Durian Bakery for sponsoring this treat. I’m already eyeing their next creation!
