You've recently started to share your baking creations on your Instagram. Has baking always been a passion of yours?

Baking has always been my passion but I couldn't find a time to do it. Due to Movement Control Order (MCO) in Malaysia during March this year, I finally took the opportunity to start baking. It all started by creating the trendy Dalgona drink using Niko Neko Matcha powder during MCO period. As I really love eating bread, so I asked myself why not try to bake one? From there, I experienced the fun of baking.

What's the most enjoyable part of baking in your experience?

I love baking bread! The process of kneading dough with your own hands is so enjoyable! Even though it’s not easy to knead dough perfectly by hand, it’s so satisfying when I succeed! Besides, what makes baking enjoyable is when my creations look appetising and visually appealing in the photo.

How did you come up with this Christmas-themed recipe?

Bundt cake is one of the most popular Christmas treats so I decided to modify a simple and classic Vanilla Bundt Cake recipe I found online.

Why did you choose YURI / Matcha for this recipe?

I chose YURI / Matcha for this recipe because the slight bitterness of YURI / Matcha can balance out the sweetness of the vanilla glaze.
