Awfully Chocolate is a bakery chain in Asia. It is known for its all-chocolate cake and other desserts. [2] It has 17 locations including shops, cafes and restaurants. [3]
Awfully Chocolate was founded by Lyn Lee, who left her job as an attorney to start the business in 1998. Its first store was in Katong in Singapore. Only one type of cake was sold: a round six-inch chocolate fudge cake called the "all-chocolate cake". The store had an unusual minimalist design in dark brown and white, with the cakes not on display. [4] It received early attention for not looking like a typical cake store and for its similarly minimalist-looking single product. [5]
Its second store, at Cluny Court, was opened in 2004. [4] [6]
By 2007 there were 17 franchise locations in China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. [7]
It later opened a cafe called Ninethirty. [8]
The all-chocolate cake was Awfully Chocolate's first product. It was sold in whole 6-inch cakes. [9] Half a year later, the chocolate banana cake was introduced, followed by the chocolate, rum and cherry cake for Christmas in December 1999. [10]
In 2005, Hei Ice Cream was released, the company's signature dark chocolate ice cream. [11] They were served in containers that resemble American Chinese take-out food boxes, with the Chinese character "hei" that means "dark".
Every Christmas, Awfully Chocolate sells log cakes based on its original all-chocolate cake. [12]

A Swiss roll, jelly roll, roll cake, cream roll, roulade or Swiss log is a type of rolled sponge cake filled with whipped cream, jam, icing, or any type of filling.

It appears to have been invented in the nineteenth century, along with Battenberg cake, doughnuts, and Victoria sponge. In the U.S., commercial snack-sized versions of the cake are sold with the brand names Ho Hos, Yodels, Swiss Cake Rolls, and others. A type of roll cake called Yule log is traditionally served at Christmas.
