NIKO NEKO

The Accidental Bakers was co-founded by foodie friends Ee-Lyn Tan and Hazwan Yazit who was previously working in the public relations and head hunting sector. The duo started their baking adventures in 2011; part time after work and on weekends before venturing full time into baking since 2014. With strong backgrounds in PR, branding and marketing, The Accidental Bakers is a culmination of their passion for excellent desserts and having the opportunity to do what they love.

With no professional training, their foray into baking was by accident through trial and error with their best friend, the Internet. Their extensive menu reflects personal favourites, filled with flavour combinations that are close to their palates.

Besides the Brownies Bar, The Accidental Bakers who operate out of their central kitchen in Taman Sri Hartamas also provide services which include café supply, dessert tables, dessert catering, corporate gifting, holiday gift boxes as well as wedding cakes and wedding gift favours.

Their clients have included Melium Group, Citibank, Alliance Bank, Soul Society, Pestle & Mortar, British Council Malaysia, Michael Page, La Juiceria, Sepang International Circuit, Shu Uemura, Urban Decay, Standard Chartered Bank, iFlix, Bobbi Brown, La Mer, Lexis Hibiscus, Mercedes and many others.

Interview with Hazwan of The Accidental Bakers

What inspired you to start baking? What motivates you to keep baking?

We are self taught hence the name The Accidental Bakers. When we first started baking back in 2011, there weren't as many options for cakes so we started baking cakes we wanted to eat. We used to share our baked goods with friends and family to great reviews and that was how our journey into baking started.

Today, we still find great joy in baking especially when people enjoy our creations. It's an indescribable feeling when customers tell us how much they loved eating our baked goods.

What is your signature creation and why do you like to make them?

Our signature creation is our brownies. We have over 12 flavours in our repertoire. By offering this many flavours, we are trying to show that diversity amidst something as humble as a brownie is possible.

It also offers our customers more options that brownies are not merely a square piece of chocolate cake. It is actually very versatile and is a great vehicle for toppings and flavour combinations.

Share with us how did you come out with the idea of your Matcha creation for this project?

We already had a matcha brownie on our menu so having the opportunity to use the YURI / Matcha in it was an interesting trial. New interpretations of brownies are always something we are striving to do.

What do you think of YURI / Matcha? How did YURI work well with your creation? (Handling, taste, texture etc.)

YURI / Matcha was a dream to work with. The intense matcha flavour and vibrant green colour went very well with white chocolate which we then swirled through our signature dark chocolate brownie base.

The baked result was an intense matcha flavour that complimented the dark chocolate without overpowering it.

Motivational message to inspire people out there to start baking.

Don’t be afraid to bake!

There is a lot of joy in mixing things together, putting it into the oven, pulling it out ad serving it to yourself and your friends and family.

Also always make sure you are happy when you are baking so your baked goods will come out happy as well!
