3. Bakebe
Probably the first of its kind in Malaysia, Bakebe is a co-baking studio chain from Hong Kong that guides bakers step-by-step through a recipe with a completely interactive app, and not an instructor.
This entirely Instagrammable studio offers a fun and stress-free baking experience because everything, from ingredients to equipment, is prepared for you to experiment with.
The studio will also clean up after you are done and assistants will box up your handmade dessert for you to bring home.
They accept walk-in customers and prices for their three-hour sessions will vary based on the difficulty of the cake you choose to make. Alternatively, you can also call them up and book the space for up to 30 people at a time for a grand baking party.

4. Cookhouse
If you’re more of a seasoned baker or already run a small online baking business, Cookhouse may be the kind of co-baking studio you need.
As a shared kitchen, you can buy daily, weekly, or even annual passes to access their ready-to-use, commercial-grade cooking and baking facilities so that you don’t have to worry about space, equipment, storage, and overhead costs, or even making a mess, such as when baking at home.
The studio also rents out their space for events, and can organise cooking workshops for any occasion – be it bachelorette parties, children’s parties, or even corporate team building sessions – in their fancy Masterchef-looking, 16-bench cooking area.

They offer iPad-based learning with guidance from experienced instructors during their classes. The studio encourages individuals with no prior baking experience to just turn up as they provide all the ingredients and facilities, and will also clean up after the lessons.
