Grab your purses and browse through these seven Malaysian bakers offering extravagant cakes that can be delivered right to your doorstep.

Bakes and Inks are well-known around town for their alphabet cakes and extravagant Korean-inspired cakes, but did you know that they’ve also recently opened a vintage-themed cafe at Bukit Jalil? For now, order yourself some cakes first, and then pop by over to Michelle Young at Bukit Jalil when MCO 3.0 is over!
5. Forêt Blanc

Think Forêt Blanc, think interactive cakes! The bakery offers a wide array of cakes from French gâteau to macaron towers, but the showstopper has to be their piñata cakes. Each piñata cake comes with a mini wooden mallet, but we think their creations are just too pretty to be destroyed (or eaten!). Fully customisable, you can choose to have just about anything in your piñata – your cat, favourite football team, you name it! Oh, and you can even select the cake flavour that sits within the bottom half (it’s not all décor but a fully edible cake). Our favourites are the chocolate and lychee rose flavours.
6. LinLin Cake

Charmaine of LinLin Cake manages to combine both vintage and cutesy vibes in her buttercream piping. The self-taught cake artist with mad skills uses fresh cream for all her bakes, and her cake designs are influenced by Japanese Harajuku and anime culture.
7. Lemon Daisy
Mei Ling of Lemon Daisy is the queen of fondant in the local cake scene. Lemon Daisy’s cakes are suitable for any themed occasion on account that its baker can create just about anything! Using quality fondant, their cake designs range from whimsical to gravity-defying. Of course, you can bet that Lemon Daisy’s creations are worth the calories – they’re incredibly yummy. Our favourite flavours from them? Definitely the chocolate peanut butter and lemon options. If you’re not a fan of fondant cakes, you can also check out their icing cookies that are available in gift boxes or bouquet form.
