Local first
Pandan from Selangor farms, gula Melaka from Jasin, cocoa from Sarawak, sea salt from Kudat. Imported only when Malaysia genuinely doesn't grow it.
Our Story
From a rented home oven in Pantai Dalam to a green-fronted shophouse on Jalan Telawi 3 — still baking in small batches, on purpose.
Since 2021
Started during lockdown, stayed for the craft
Flowbase Bakehouse began in 2021 as weekend cake drops from a two-person home kitchen. The first month's entire production was eleven pandan cakes, delivered by motorbike. Word travelled the way good cake does — slice by slice.
By 2023 we had outgrown three kitchens and moved into our current shophouse in Bangsar Baru. The team is now nine people: five bakers, two decorators, one delivery driver who treats tiered cakes like sleeping infants, and one very patient studio manager.
The principle has never moved: bake less, bake better. We cap daily production so nothing is frozen, nothing is outsourced, and every box that leaves carries a bake from that morning.
The shophouse
Find us under the green awning
Our studio and counter sit at 27, Jalan Telawi 3 — a five-minute walk from Bangsar Village, look for the forest-green frontage and brass lettering. The front is a collection counter and tasting nook; the back is where the real noise happens.
Studio tastings and design consults run by appointment on weekdays and Saturday mornings. Walk-ins are always welcome at the pastry counter, Tuesday through Sunday.

What we stand on
Three commitments, printed on the kitchen wall
Nothing pre-frozen
Daily production caps mean everything is baked to order or for that morning's counter. Sold out is not a bug — it's the promise working.
Fair kitchen
Everyone on the team earns above living wage, gets Mondays off together, and takes home the unsold counter at closing.
Come taste what we're about
The tasting box is the fastest introduction — six signatures, RM48, collected from the counter or delivered chilled.
