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 simpler cakes like Apple and yuzu upside down cake or Thai tea chiffon cake, before progressing to layer cakes in uniquely delicious flavour combinationsβ€”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 15 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.

About the Author

Patti Chimkire is a pastry chef who runs Mali Bakes, the much-loved bakeshop and cake studio in Melbourne that brings together her twin loves: color and baking.
