In Malaysia, Christmas doesn’t look like the movies.
There’s no snowfall outside the window. There’s traffic on the highway, air-cond blowing non-stop, group chats filled with “potluck what you bringing?” and last minute “eh can still order cake ah?”.
In our kitchen, Christmas looks like honey on the stove, coffee in everyone’s cup, and the chiller slowly filling up with trees, a snowman and a box full of choux.
This year’s Christmas collection came from a very simple question we kept asking ourselves:
“What kind of cake actually makes sense on a real Malaysian table?”
Not just pretty for photos, but something people will actually finish.
So we built a small family of cakes and choux for different types of people, and different kinds of gatherings.
For the coffee people: our “green” tree
Some people walk into a party and immediately look for coffee.
If that’s your family, this one is for you.
Our green Medovik tree is layered with chocolate honey cake, coffee mascarpone cream (tiramisu-style), Biscoff kunafa crunch and whipped chocolate ganache, then dressed up like a Christmas tree.
It’s the cake for those who:
- secretly judge bad coffee,
- love Biscoff anything,
- and want their Christmas dessert to feel a bit more “grown up”.
This is the one that quietly disappears while everyone is still chatting.
For the berry lovers: a White Christmas in KL
Not everyone likes coffee. Some just want something light, fruity and a little romantic.
Our white Medovik tree is built with classic honey cake layers, a smooth white chocolate cream and bright raspberry curd, finished to look like a snow covered tree.
It’s:
- a little tangy from the raspberry,
- creamy from the white chocolate,
- and still has that familiar honey aroma from the Medovik.
This is the cake for your “team berry” friends, the ones who always go for strawberry, raspberry, anything pink or red.
For the kids (and the kid inside you): Frosty Snowman
Every Christmas table needs something cute.
This year, that role belongs to Frosty.
Frosty Snowman is a 2-tier chiffon cake filled with pink guava cream, decorated to look like a snowman.
The frosting is intentionally thicker to build the snowman shape, but honestly, the chiffon and guava cream are already good to enjoy on their own. Your choice to eat it with all the “snow”, or just focus on the guava cake inside.
This one is:
- light, not jelak,
- fun for photos,
- and usually the first cake kids point at.
For tea time people: Earl Grey Yule Log
Not everyone does big turkey-and-stuffing dinners.
Some Christmas gatherings are just tea, snacks and a cake on the table.
Our Enchanted Yule Log keeps the classic log shape, but inside is chocolate chiffon with Earl Grey infused cream and blueberry compote.
It’s made for:
- tea drinkers,
- those who say “I don’t like it too sweet”,
- and anyone who wants a calmer, more aromatic cake to end the night.
Cut a slice, make a cup of tea, and suddenly the day feels slower.
For the ones who “just want to try a bit of everything”: Winter Chouxmas Box
Every group has that one person who doesn’t want a big slice of cake, but later will quietly eat three small things.
Winter Chouxmas Box is for them.
Each box comes with four flavours of choux:
- Apple Cinnamon – cosy, like a small apple pie in cream puff form.
- Chocolate Mint – refreshing but still chocolatey.
- Rose Raspberry – floral and tangy, pretty inside and out.
- ChocoBanana – a playful throwback to childhood chocolate banana treats.
It’s easy to share in the office, bring to a friend’s place, or keep in your own fridge “just in case guests come”.
Why we made this collection
Christmas, for us, is not about creating the biggest, fanciest centrepiece just for Instagram.
It’s about:
- the friend who always ends up being “dessert person”,
- the family that doesn’t want a sugar bomb after a heavy meal,
- the small group that just wants tea, some cake and honest conversation.
So instead of one giant “Christmas cake”, we created a small range that fits different moods:
- Something coffee-heavy and crunchy.
- Something berry and creamy.
- Something cute and light for families.
- Something tea-like and calm.
- And a box of choux for people who like to graze.
If one of these sounds like your people, then maybe this is what Christmas should look like on your table this year: not perfect, not like the movies, but very real, very Malaysian, and shared with the ones who matter.
