From now until June 15, a group of hotels and resorts under Hyatt Thailand are joining forces for a special dining promotion, the Hyatt Thailand Signature Restaurant Week 2023.
Who says you need a special occasion to buy a cake? Since we’re all stuck at home this semi-lockdown, treat yourself to a slice – or a whole cake, who’s counting anyways – of these sinfully indulgent cakes delivered straight to your doorstep. Even if you don’t work off the calories later, we promise we won’t snitch. Since its establishment.

Michael Russ II and Sasha Yilmaz-Ward met as pastry chefs at Oakland restaurant The Wolf, where Russ was executive pastry chef and Yilmaz-Ward was hired to be his assistant.
It was one of those culinary mind melds, where the two hit it off both as friends and as colleagues, and knew that eventually, they should strike out on their own together.
“Michael is extremely talented,” said Yilmaz-Ward. “He has such a creative mind, and watching it at work is fascinating.”
Meanwhile, Russ knew he found a dependable partner in Yilmaz-Ward; he immediately saw that he could rely on her, knowing she could execute his vision in his absence right away.
