Can you have your cake and eat it? With Happy Low Carb Time (@happylowcarbtime)’s bakes, it seems the answer is yes.
The home-based bakery was established by Lucy Asnum after her family embraced the ketogenic lifestyle, including a diet that is low in carb, moderate in protein and high in fat. Motivated by her children’s dietary restrictions, she ventured into the world of baking to create low-sugar desserts for them.
The mission was to craft a variety of desserts that cater to the keto lifestyle, and offer guilt-free enjoyment at the same time.
Signatures from Happy Low Carb Time include Lychee Rose Cake ($9 per slice) featuring keto-friendly lychee chiffon studded with juicy lychees, and pillowy fresh cream infused with fragrances of lychee and rose; and the Ondeh Ondeh Cake ($9 per slice), enveloped with mascarpone cream, gula melaka and fresh grated coconut.
Newly launched are the Pandan Orh Nee Cake ($9 per slice) that combines pandan chiffon and fresh mascarpone whipped with yam paste; Matcha Chocolate Cake ($9 per slice); Salted Caramel Chocolate Cake ($9.50 per slice); and Lychee Jelly Basque Burnt Cheesecake ($9 per slice). The best part about the cakes? They are not cloyingly sweet.
There are also savoury bakes such as Cheesy Curry Chicken Pizza ($5 per slice), Vege Pizza ($4 per slice), Garlic Butter Cream Cheese Bun ($7) and Keto Chicken Floss Bun ($6).
