The list of flavours at Fluff are endless – but a really unique feature is the fact they have many cupcakes inspired by local flavours, including bandung, ondeh ondeh, apam balik sweetcorn and triple milo. Another cool flavour they created was inspired by the traditional kuih putri salat. With pulut on top the pandan cake, and pandan custard & coconut inside, it truly resembles the taste of the kueh.

What’s even more impressive is that there are also cupcakes which are based on kueh we might not have seen in local Muslim stalls nowadays. Perhaps, parents or grandparents might be able to identify this particular dessert (Talam Dang Anum) based on the taste. For the uninitiated (i.e. myself), it is a jackfruit-based kueh, and the folks at Julie Bakes have succeeded in adapting it into a sumptuous creation.
