Beautiful layer cakes, painstakingly baked & freshly delivered to your doorstep? Now possible in KL, courtesy of Micheele, an Indonesian food lover who has lived in Malaysia for nearly 15 years & is studying hospitality management at Taylor’s University.

Micheele, who’s enjoyed baking since childhood, has taken a step toward entrepreneurship by starting Vanity Kitchen, an online business that focuses on Indonesian desserts, particularly “lapis legit,” a heritage recipe that harkens to the traditions Micheele learned from her mom, who credits Micheele’s grandmother for handing down that culinary knowledge through the generations.

Steamed Brownies

Steamed brownies, a familiar favourite in Indonesia’s city of Bandung, are also available for purchase (each kilogram costs RM65). Micheele says these contain less butter & sugar compared to baked brownies, but they still remain moist & creamy.

Coffee or Tea at The Food Store

These treats go well with coffee or tea; we might try smuggling them to, say, The Food Store at DoubleTree by Hilton …

… where the latte tastes better than expected, rich & robust enough to satisfy.
