Here's A List Of Local Bakers Who Make Cakes That Look Exactly Like Fresh Flowers
Who knew eating your greens could taste so sweet?
By Alyssa Pong
As kids, we were often told we could only have dessert after eating our veggies.
Well, what if you could kill two birds with one stone?
Several Malaysian bakers are selling cakes that are spitting images of flowers and plants, and we're here for it.
1. sayaBAKE
Whether it's a batch of beautifully frosted cupcakes for a party, or a stunning three-tier piece for a wedding, you'll be spoilt for choice at sayaBAKE.
If you still can't find exactly what you're looking for, you can place a custom order with their self-taught head baker Nora who specialises in flowers, chocolate, and edible decorations. Popular flavours include earl grey lemon lychee, Lotus Biscoff, and milk chocolate passion fruit.
All baked goods are made with quality and halal ingredients.
Price range: RM60 onwards.
Delivery: Delivers the bigger, more delicate cakes themselves, while the smaller cakes can be delivered by third party companies. Otherwise, you can pick up from their studio in KL.
Find them on Facebook and Instagram. Place an order two weeks in advance on their website or via email.

2. Little Kitchens
Succulents are all the rage right now. But instead of looking after of your own plant, let Little Kitchens' cute cactus and succulent cupcakes take care of your sweet craving!
Each cupcake is carefully decorated with deep green and pink coloured buttercream frosting and comes with a chocolate, pandan gula melaka, red velvet, or vanilla base. They are so detailed that they'd fool any onlooker.
If you're looking for something more traditional with just a splash of colour, Little Kitchens also has minimalist Korean-style cakes for sale.
Price range: RM60 onwards.
Delivery: Delivers within Klang Valley. Beyond this region, Little Kitchens makes use of Lalamove to deliver their cakes.

3. Bakes & Inks
Bakes & Inks is well-loved for their sophisticated baked goods that will elevate any occasion. You can choose from mini 4" cakes or tall three-tiered ones. They even have cakes shaped as alphabets or numbers.
The artisan cake shop uses buttercream frosting to add sweet roses to many of their designs. But there is something for everyone as Bakes & Inks' cakes can be decked out with macarons, chocolate, gold-dusted fruits, and fondant figurines. If those aren't up your alley, you can always opt for their sponge cakes and dessert boxes.
Price range: RM60 onwards for dessert boxes. RM150 onwards for designer cakes.
Delivery: They partner with third party delivery companies to send your orders.
