Baking Supplies Store

As mentioned in my previous post on April, there are 2 other brances of ICCA in PJ and Desa Sri Hartamas apart from the HQ in Kota Damansara. You can get cake decorating supplies as well as join one of the many classes or workshops available at all 3 centres. Below are the address and contact details from ICCA website, maps are available there.

If you live outside Kuala Lumpur and find these places too far away, you can try the following stores that are probably closer and more convenient for you, some are ICCA distributors according to ICCA's website, but they do not provide Wilton Method Courses:

(More branches on their website, their branch in Petaling Jaya was very much recommended by a friend of mine. Personally, I have not been there, hence I can't comment much on it. They too provide baking supplies as well as classes. Class schedules are available on their website)


Just a little advice on getting to ICCA centres. If you are planning to drive to the one in Section 14, please be warned that it is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to find parking spaces there whether on weekdays or weekends, even the residential area nearby is congested with illegally parked cars. Thus, it will be easier if you can get someone to drop you off instead.

Some people think that the branch in Desa Sri Hartamas is isolated and hard to find, although I found it easily the first time I got there with a little help from my faithful servant - Google Map. If you are coming from Petaling Jaya through Sprint Highway, you should drive pass Bukit Kiara Equestrian Park and the National Science Centre until you reach a traffic light junction with a signboard showing 'Desa Sri Hartamas' on the left. Turn left and drive straight down the road and take the 3rd turning on your right (The 1st turning is where Balai Bomba & Penyelamat Sri Hartamas is located, the 2nd turning will take to you to the Korean restaurants area). Drive down the slope and take the 2nd turning on your right. You should be able to see ICCA signboard on the 2nd floor of the building in front of you now. If you know Malaysia International Ving Chun Kung Fu Federation HQ founded by Brandon Chan, ICCA centre is just beside it. There are usually plenty of parking spaces in front.
