Mahjong Cakes

Here on the Mahjong Community blog we chat about mahjong, the people and businesses in the global mahjong community, and how this fascinating game shows up in their lives.

Today, we are going to take a look at the intricate detail and elegance of mahjong cakes. We will bounce all over the globe to take a look at what bakers are doing with their mahjong inspired cakes. If you get inspired by the cakes, just click on the bakery name above their picture to get to their Instagram! 

We begin our journey at Vancouver, BC in Canada with @stephanieskitchenvancouver. You can find them on Instagram and on their website at https://www.stephanieskitchen.ca/.



Next, we go over to Singapore where we have an agar agar cake. Agar agar is a vegetarian type of gelatin and is used to make jelly. So we have ourselves a jelly cake!  
This one is from @foodmapping on Instagram, and you can find them on their website at

Let us take a look at a bicoastal bakery, with locations in New York and Taiwan. You can find them at bakinglife_ny_tw on Instagram and on their website https://www.mybakinglifenytw.com/ 



Over to the USA, we have a cake from Scottsdale, Arizona. This one is from @bakedjustwright on Instagram.

 

Here is a cake from Brisbane, Australia. This one is from @sweet_licious_brisbane on Instagram. You can them on Meta at https://m.facebook.com/Sweet.licious.brisbane


Back to Singapore for our final cake today. This is one of my favourite designs. It comes from  @angellabakes on Instagram. You can also find them at https://www.facebook.com/angellabakes 


@angellabakes sat with us for an in depth interview about mahjong cakes and her bakery.

Come back to read her interview which will be revealed shortly on our blog!

The Mahjong Community

Welcome to the Mahjong Community. The place to chat about mahjong in all of its variations, the players, the merchandise, and my favourite: mahjong baked goods!

We will be going into the stories behind the players, why they play, what brings them together. A lot of players have incredible history together. Those stories are at the heart of the heart of the game.

The merchandise is also fascinating. Earrings, necklaces, pants, skirts, bags, and more. Custom mahjong sets. Fascinating mahjong tables.

The mahjong themed baked goods are my favourite. Colorful, unique and meaningful. Cakes, muffins, cookies. Beyond that are the recipes and dishes that are always at mahjong parties. One household might have dim sum and congee, another one has sushi, another one serves tea and biscuits. 

The mahjong community is global and extensive. Join me in this blog while we go exploring and meet the people behind the tiles.
