Halloween Bakery Near Me at Dempsey Hill: Burnt Ends Bakery's Spiderweb Tart

Burnt Ends Bakery at 7 Dempsey Road, #01-01, opens only Thursday to Sunday, from 8am to 4pm, and this Halloween it bakes for exactly one long weekend: pre-orders for pickup or delivery run from Thursday 29 October to Sunday 1 November 2026. The headline is a Spiderweb Tart of hazelnut crunch and chocolate ganache, S$68 for eight inches, and the doughnuts get Halloween dress from S$9 for a pair. For a halloween bakery near me search around Dempsey Hill and the Botanic Gardens, it is the most chef-driven option in town.

The bakery was founded by Dave Pynt, the chef-owner of Burnt Ends, the Michelin-starred barbecue restaurant he opened in 2013 on Teck Lim Road and moved to Dempsey Hill in early 2022. The bakery began as an online business with occasional pop-ups before it took its own space in the same Dempsey building in early 2022. Its claim to difference is an oven: the bakery says it has the only wood-fired bakery oven in Singapore, and the sourdough, doughnuts and tarts all come out of that kitchen.

Dempsey Hill itself is a cluster of low colonial-era buildings surrounded by rain trees, a former army barracks now filled with restaurants, so the bakery feels more like a weekend outing than a city errand. The Burnt Ends restaurant shares the address, and Halloween orders can also be collected at the bakery's second shop, Audi x Burnt Ends Bakery at 18 Cross Street, #01-20, which opens daily from 8am to 4pm if the Dempsey days do not suit you.

The Spiderweb Tart is the bakery's Halloween exclusive. A sweet pastry shell is layered with hazelnut crunch and chocolate ganache, then finished with a web of chocolate spiders crawling across the top. The eight-inch tart costs S$68 and the twelve-inch costs S$95, and it is available only as a pre-order for collection or delivery between 29 October and 1 November. With nuts in the crunch and a rich ganache, the eight-inch is plenty for a dinner party of eight.

The Halloween Special Doughnuts come in all of the regular Burnt Ends flavours, filled with cream or jam and dressed for the season, in packs of two, six, twelve or a baker's dozen of thirteen. Two plain or cinnamon doughnuts cost S$9, two vanilla or yuzu cream doughnuts S$13 and two Italian pistachio doughnuts S$15. A box of six vanilla cream doughnuts is S$39 and six pistachio doughnuts S$45. Note the allergens listed by the bakery: dairy, eggs, nuts and fish-based gelatine.

Our honest pick is the pistachio doughnut, which reviewers keep naming as the best thing the bakery makes, and a six-pack covers a small party for less than the tart. Skip the twelve-inch tart unless you have a real crowd, because at S$95 it costs nearly as much as the bakery's whole New York cheesecake, S$98, and a ganache tart that size is hard to finish. If you want an everyday box alongside, the best-selling Slayer's Pick box of five doughnuts costs S$33.50 and mixes vanilla cream, Nutella, Milo, Italian pistachio and lemon meringue. If you would rather choose all five yourself, the Pick Your Own box is S$32.50, a dollar less than the curated selection.

Everything Halloween here is a pre-order. The bakery opens its delivery slots only 30 days ahead of the chosen date, so the window for the 29 October to 1 November weekend is already open, and slots go first to those who book early. Collection is at Dempsey or Cross Street on the day you choose. Because the Dempsey shop is closed Monday to Wednesday, the four-day Halloween window lines up exactly with its normal Thursday to Sunday trading days.

There is no landline. One reviewer who ordered a wood-fired sourdough online in 2025 collected it two days later and paid S$17.44 including GST, a useful sense of how the online system works for bread as well as for the Halloween bakes.

The line is real. Reviewers in late 2025 describe a small queue outside before opening time on weekends and say the shop gets very crowded at the weekend, and a May 2026 review advises arriving before 11am because the best items are often sold out by early afternoon, after a wait of around fifteen minutes. A Thursday or Friday morning at 8am is the calmest time to walk in. On Halloween weekend, collect your pre-order early and leave the walk-in queue to others.

Seating is limited. The bakery works mostly as a takeaway counter, with wooden cutlery and paper plates, and some outdoor tables cooled by fans. Plan B, if every seat is gone, is to carry your box to the Singapore Botanic Gardens, which is close to Dempsey Hill. Driving is common here, but reviewers say parking is competitive at peak times, so a taxi drop-off is often simpler on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

After the bakery, Dempsey Hill rewards a slow loop. Siri House is in Block 8D Dempsey Road, Min Jiang at Dempsey and Long Beach Seafood both have outposts on the hill, and Terra Madre is a short walk away on Loewen Road. Napier MRT station on the Thomson-East Coast Line is the nearest train stop, roughly a fifteen-minute walk along Minden Road and Harding Road, past old trees and colonial houses.
