Christmas songs? Check. Christmas movies (or even the holiday-themed horror movies)? Check. Cocktails for Christmas party? Check. A perfect Christmas gift for your loved ones? Check. But what about milk and cookies for Santa Claus? Well, after all these years of delivering gifts to the homes of good children, he may be getting a little sick of the ordinary cookies he receives in return.
Since Santa Claus is coming to town very soon, we thought he might want to try something new by visiting some bakery cafes that serve their own versions of “milk and cookies” for Santa this Christmas. It’s fairly easy to figure out his schedule when most of the bakery cafes in town are warming up to the festive season with some great alternative snacks for Santa Claus and of course, for us.
If you’d like to, go have yourself a merry little Christmas with Santa Claus at these bakery cafes! 🙂
1. Wondermilk
Wondermilk Café has always been known for its desserts and beverages, especially its speciality drink of the same name (flavoured fresh milk with choices such as butterscotch, caramel and vanilla). The café has been around since 2000 and it has evolved from working solely on graphic design to championing the unique cupcakes phenomenon in Klang Valley labeled as “Cuppacakes”.
The cupcakes clearly became the main attraction at Wondermilk café and the store will only bake customised version of cupcakes if you place your order in advance. This is because the owner has to make sure the quality is retained when they bake the customised versions of cupcakes.

This Christmas, the owner of Dreamz Bakery has taken the opportunity to bake more cookies for patrons to take home as Christmas gifts. A bag of the cookies is priced at RM9.90 and there are 6 pieces of cookies in the bag. What amazed us the most is its shoe-shaped Christmas cake with cute decorations.
