Well, they are both desserts so both are equally awesome. Below are some cakes and tarts we sacarstic food blog often enjoy in Singapore. Will be listing by flavours for the cakes.

 Red Velvet  
If you're a fan of red velvet, check these out:

The Pantry at Shop Wonderland Cafe
This shop is like a dream come true. The name of the cafe says all about the theme of their interior. Every corner has it's own wonderness. Pretty and delicious cakes, very photo worthy! There's even a florist shop here. We would recommend the Red Velvet and Rose Blossom Cake (Flavours are seasonal, so it's by chance)

RoyceMary Cafe
This is something new to try. Red velvet lava cake ($8.90), yes those runny liquid kind. Wish the cake would be bigger, that will really worth the price.

Address: 8 Jalan Legundi #01-13, Singapore 759274
Opposite Sembawang Shopping Centre
Opening Hours: Mon,Tues, Thurs-Sun 11am - 10.30pm

 Rainbow Cakes 
2-3 years back Singaporean were crazy for rainbow cakes. Now they are everywhere. Still, we don't really like rainbow cake as we find there's too much food coloring and most of the time it taste rather dry. We tried the ones from The Coffee Daily ($10 a slice),

Near Serangoon Gardens
Opening Hours:

and even McCafe ($8.50 set with cake and Red velvet Latte/Frappe)

However, nothing beats these 2:
Baker's brew Studio
Same location with RoyceMary cafe, it's a baking studio that hold workshops for baking class. Standard and taste should be up there, yes it didn't fail our expectation. This rainbow cake is filled with thin layer of cream cheese and not so sweet or dry. Seems less "fattening?" Surely a good rainbow treat. They also customize cakes for different occasion or theme. Go check out their Instagra, (will link below), every cake is a masterpiece!
There's other flavours/creation that are nice too. Going at $7.50 for a big slice. Their ondeh is so good. The other flavours like Earl Grey Lavender, Salted Caramel Chocolate, Mango lychee or Red Velvet is worth to try!

New Branch at Upper Thomson (Opening in End of March)

Lynn's cake and coffee
Priced at ($8.50 a slice). At first we find the color rather unpleasant,  it's like smack on crayons. We are expecting it to taste artificial and dry. But we were pleasantly surprise by the tinge of lemon and how moist the cake is. However, the location is inaccessible and located beside Necessary Provision.

 If you're all for chocolate 

Ps Cafe
Ultimate Fudgy Brownie ($14++ a slice or $118+ serve 9, for Full size 3.1kg cake) Super sinful and the picture tells how good it is. However it would be better if there's more cake than marshmallow. Other chocolate cake is also available, all the cakes in their selection are also worth to try.

Awfully Chocolate
All chocolate cake 
Whole cake at $34 for 6" & $68 for 8", suitable for occasions. 



Four leaves
Coco exotic, is da best. Simple, homely, cheap and good. ($28 for 15x15cm to $156 30x44cm)

Chocolate Origin
Sold in Subtly sweet Original (6"/15cm at $32.80) or Bitter Dark (6"/15cm at $39.80) Prefer the Original one. Also, their lava cup cake is popular among the youths. Cold vanilla ice cream at the bottom and topped with hot lava cake ($5.50)
Website (Store location at the bottom of the main page)

Riders cafe
What's even better than Ps's chocolate cake is this Death by Chocolate cake by Rider's cafe. ($12++) Omg, the most tastiest and richest chocolate cake you can find in Singapore. Very moist and filled with whole lot of chocolate sauce and accompanied by the vanilla ice cream, this is goodness. 
Address: 51 Fairways Drive, Singapore 286965

Angelina 
High end pastries from France, the Signature Le Mont Blanc ($13.50++),  Tarte Tout Chocolate ($12++) and Old Fashion Hot Chocolate ($12++) However, we don't find it really nice.. the hot chocolate drink can be quite cloyed. Just stick to coffee or tea.

 Swiss Roll Cake 

The Plain Jane
Priced at $4.90-$6.90 a slice, often sold out quickly. Texture of the cream is soft and subtly sweet, a good combination with the cake. However, would prefer to have more cake to cream. Recommended flavours are Orginal Creme and Matcha.

Rich & Good Cake 
Similar to Plain Jane, we love the Kaya Roll from Rich & Good. Old school bakery and often sold out in short while. Priced at $11.50 a roll of awesomeness. Durian Roll cake is also one of their best seller. However, don't expect much from their service.

 Now, let's talk about Tarts 
Some may not like cake or too much cream, this may be suitable. A little side track.. not forgetting Chinese/Portugese egg tarts. 
Tai Cheong
Famous egg tart from Hong Kong with it's recent pop up store in Takashimaya here in Sg by the Pine Garden. crazy queue but really delicious. If you can't bother to queue, there's always next time to try in Hong Kong.

Taste Paradise 

Coffee & Crust @ Mandarin Orchard Hotel
You can find the cake display at the front Coffee & Crust, beside the Triple 3 buffet restaurant at lvl 5. This is seasonal, cake selection may have changed. Price according to last year was $55+. This is by far the prettiest cake or... tart! ever!! Macaron may not be as nice as laduree's but still good.
