It sells prawn fritters, you tiao and curry puffs. It is currently unclear if the eateries will continue to operate. FOUND COMFORT IN BAKING 2112 Bakery began as a home-based business in 2019, shortly after Goh left her job as a nail technician. She told last year that she had been diagnosed with depression around that time and found comfort in baking and munching on Nutella cookies. That's when her baking business was born. She later joined Season 2 of Mediacorp baking show, Creme De La Creme, to gain exposure for her sluggish business in Toa Payoh. She placed sixth out of eight contestants on the show. While her onscreen appearance generated some publicity for her, she revealed that her shop's sales didn't increase much. Last year, she told that her Toa Payoh bakery lost S$19,000 and she was looking to relocate it to a better spot. She added: 'I got very depressed [due to the poor business in Toa Payoh], so my husband asked me whether I wanted to just shut it down, but I didn't want to waste my efforts. I know I can do it, I just need time'. TALKED ABOUT BUSINESS STRUGGLES ON SOCIAL MEDIA LAST DECEMBER In a video post on Dec 31, 2024, Goh told her followers on TikTok: 'Having a business is a commitment, a passion. [It's all about] making my parents proud, making my kids proud, or just myself [proud].' She went on: 'The thing is, I feel good whenever I leave the shop at night – I keep smiling to myself, like, this is how far [I've come]. But there's too much stress going on.' Her last few posts showed her holidaying in Japan sometime around May. 2112 Bakery's signature bakes are its Swiss roll (S$4.50), cheesecake (S$6.50), assorted crispy puffs (S$2.20) and the snack that started it all – Nutella cookies (S$26). 2112 Bakery (cafe in OG Bugis) is at #02-02 OG Albert, 60 Albert St, Singapore 189969 2112 Bakery (with rojak & popiah) is at #02-222/224 Yew Tee Square Kopitiam, 624 Choa Chu Kang St, Singapore 680624.

'A source of love, joy and kindness': Mediacorp baking show contestant dies aged 35, husband pays tribute, Entertainment News
Michelle Goh, the owner of 2112 Bakery at Bugis, has died at the age of 35 on June 17. The mother-of-two had joined season 2 of Mediacorp baking show 'Creme De La Creme' in 2024, and was placed sixth out of eight contestants on the show. Her husband, who only gave his name as Ken, announced her death in a post on the bakery's social media accounts on the same day. "It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that I share the passing of my beloved wife, Michelle Goh, who left us on June 17, 2025," he wrote. "She was a source of love, joy and kindness, and her memory will forever remain in our hearts. While words cannot express the pain of this loss, we find comfort in remembering the beautiful life she lived and the love she shared with all who knew her." He added in his post that she would be cremated at Mandari Crematorium Hall today (June 21). Michelle's cause of death is unknown and she leaves behind her husband and two young children. Michelle shared that she started her business as a home-based bakery in 2019, after leaving her job as a nail technician, reported 8days. At the time, she was diagnosed with depression and found comfort in baking. She later opened a bakery in Toa Payoh, and subsequently relocated to OG Bugis in December 2024 due to poor business. She also has a rojak and popiah stall at Yew Tee Square, and a snack stall at Bukit Canberra Hawker Centre, which is operated by her mother. It is currently unclear if the businesses will continue to operate. Despite participating in Mediacorp's baking competition show, the exposure did not result in more sales for her bakery and she lost $19,000 from her Toa Payoh bakery, she told 8days. She added that her husband had asked then if she wanted to shutter the business, but she "didn't want to waste [her] efforts" and needed time. In December 2024, Michelle posted a TikTok and Instagram Reel and spoke about her struggles in operating a business. She said tearfully in the Reel: "To be honest, having a business is serving us right, because we could have just gone out and work. But [operating a business] is all about our commitment, passion and being proud of ourselves and making my parents and my kids proud." She added: "I feel good whenever I leave the shop at night. I kept smiling to myself knowing that this is how far [I had come]. But there is too much stress going on." @ Not negative but just real feeling. ♬ original sound - 2112 Bakery [[nid:718794]] Samaritans of Singapore: 1800-221-4444 Singapore Association for Mental Health: 1800-283-7019 Care Corner Counselling Centre (Mandarin): 1800-353-5800 Institute of Mental Health's Mental Health Helpline: 6389-2222 Silver Ribbon: 6386-1928 Shan You Counselling Centre (Mandarin): 6741-0078 Fei Yue's Online Counselling Service: Tinkle Friend (for primary school children): 1800-2744-788
