Made some yesterday. Made some with thicker layers and some with thinner layers cuz some of my friends claim that thicker layers will make the cake softer. Didn't seem to make any difference to me.

 

Actually, home baked stuff can be sold legally. As long as the business is small scale and never hire employees and all that. HDB allows and NEA says no need for license since it is small scale. But quite obvious which ones are not really home made la.

Looks nice.

Layers very even.  [thumbsup]

Thanks. I think kueh lapis is quite a simple cake to bake. Just need alot of concentration and patience.  [laugh]  First time I baked many years ago, didn't have the patience to keep looking at the cake while it was baking and some layers got burnt.

This thread come very timely. I just got mine from Lavender at JB. As with @jman888, we used to buy from Indonesia (through friends and relatives), but ever since we tried Lavender (about 5 - 6 years ago), the rest is history.

 

Relatively cheap and very good. Neither too sweet nor oily. As long as you keep it in fridge (cooling compartment will do), it can last for about a month.

I too have been buying from Lavender in Malaysia, from both KL and Bukit Inda outlets. Beside kue lapis, I am also very impressed with the selection of bakery available. Not the run-ff-the-mill variety, and cheap compare to over here.

On this lapis topic, another worthy choice for me would be from Zulaikha if going Medan. Ask any native from Medan they will know. And very cheap at about S$10/kg only. Can see many tourist or customers buy in bulk and they will pack into small boxes for easy transport to airport. Also the shop has another famous cake called ambon. Very nice too. Take note they only make  2 or 3 times a day, and will sell out very quickly. I ever bought other brands,,especially last minute from airport which is at least 50% more costly, taste really not as good.

 

Normally I will also buy swiss roll from a shop called Meranti. This one need to queue for at least half an hour. Never know Indon is famous for this kind of thing.  Location is all around the location attached in this posting, can always ask the driver to detour there to tabao if along the way before going airport.
