In this week's instalment of #TheMakers, we tour pastry chef Patchanida Chimkire's retro-inspired home & bakery ✨
If you haven't hopped onto the @mali_bakes Instagram account, we highly encourage that you do. This wonderland of retro-inspired cakes dreamt up by pastry chef Patchanida are as glorious to look at as they are to eat. 💫
Patchanida studied a business degree in Bangkok before realising her dream of becoming a chef. She moved to Melbourne to study and during this time occasionally explored the realm of baking. During the first lockdown, she started Mali Bakes, a then small baking and delivery project that was run from her Instagram account. 💫
Patchanida's home which she shares with her husband Luke is located right behind her studio space. They made extensive renovations to the existing 1960s property including fitting in a commercial kitchen to the front area of the building. 💫
The retro home is the perfect extension of her desserts. "We’ve styled the house in such a way as to compliment the existing retro features and we’ve painted the walls in such a way so as to bring out these elements, and these features." 💫
