Tiny Bangsar eatery has desserts galore

Fresh and filled with herbaceous notes, the basil-lime tart is an instant winner.

It is fitting that in person, Jaslyn Rangson is a sweet young woman with a sunny smile who laughs often and easily. This sweetness is also reflective of her job, which involves whipping up all sorts of desserts at her two cafes – Jaslyn Cakes and new baby, Dew.

Rangson’s interest in baking began as a child, when she would often pore over cookbooks. Her first baking experience was making Anzac biscuits for a school fair, and that initial success spurred her interest even further. At university in England (where she was studying for a degree in economics), she started baking cakes and cookies for extra pocket money.
