We've spent the past year pouring our hearts into this book, and we’re so excited to share it with you!

It’s cake time! Start your delicious adventure in cake baking and retro decorating with this delightful baking book.

Embark on a journey through cake making, the Mali Bakes way. This beautiful book is your ultimate guide to baking and decorating the cakes of your dreams! Start your adventures with simple cakes like mandarin cotton cheesecake or Thai tea chiffon cake, before progressing to layer cakes in uniquely delicious flavor combinations—think buttermilk vanilla cake with brown butter custard, or pistachio cake with cardamom-roasted rhubarb.

Along the way, you will be introduced to different cake-making methods and decorating finishes to learn how to make and pipe perfect decorations with buttercream. Adventurous bakers can test their skills with fifteen decorating projects to transform layer cakes into showstopping masterpieces, perfect for all of life’s celebrations. Mali Bakes is a delightful celebration of colour and baking and proves that cakes can be fun and full of flavour.
