Lana Cake Shop

Lana Cake Shop, also known as Lana Cakes, is a cake shop on Greenwood Avenue in Singapore. The shop sells various cakes, but is most known for selling fudge cakes.

History

The shop was opened in 1975 by Violet Kwan, who had begun selling cakes from her home in 1964. Kwan learned the cake's recipe from her sister-in-law, Lani. The shop is named after Lani. Kwan put the shop up for sale in 2016 as she wanted to retire. By September, she had received numerous offers, but she had not accepted any, as she believed that she had not yet found a good match. However, instead of selling the shop, Kwan decided to pass ownership to her son, Jason Kwan, who was previously a banker working in Tokyo, and reopened the shop in March 2019.
