Rather not carry it?

Both bakeries with full outlet pages also deliver to Singapore:

Lamoist: a weekly delivery to a pick-up point in Geylang or Bedok. Pay by Tuesday and it is usually ready on Saturday (Lamoist FAQ). Lamoist also tells buyers to ask for a receipt with its logo, so you know the cake is theirs.
Sun Li: sent by cargo. Order 4 to 5 days ahead, with a 5 kg minimum. Pick-up at its Eunos or Keppel drop points is free, or pay SGD 25 for delivery to your door (Sun Li FAQ).

Carrying it yourself? Remember that Singapore sets one 5 kg limit for all your processed food together. Our guide to bringing food from Batam to Singapore explains the rules. For other gifts, see the Batam oleh-oleh guide.
