London’s First All Vegan Bakery Opens Its Doors

Ms Cupcake Vegan Bakery in London

Ms Cupcake: The Naughitest Vegan Cakes in Town

http://www.mscupcake.co.uk/

408 Coldharbour Lane
Brixton
London, SW9 8LF
England
Wednesday to Sunday 11am-6pm

Ms Cupcake is fast achieving London Vegan icon status, a standing her baking has seen the business achieve since well before throwing open the doors of the city’s first all-vegan bakery. Always presenting herself in an eye-catching 1950s housewife ensemble, the woman behind the cake has a sparkling personality to match her retro-inspired shop design. From market stall (you can still find her at Greenwich and Brick Lane sometimes- check her website for details) to full retail bakery, it’s no surprise the business has been such a success; her cakes have had folks trekking across the city to devour since the start.

And to make things even more enticing she’s selling more fabulous animal free confections in the Brixton shop. Cookie cakes, vegan marshmallows and scones feature among the usual line-up of cupcakes and cake slices, companioned with an array of other vegan favourites like Goody Good Stuff sweets and vegan chocolates. Cookbooks, brand-matching retro kitschy accessories, and of course cupcake themed gifts are also for sale.

Finally, it’s here! After many months of hard work and planning, London’s first vegan bakery has opened in Brixton. My friend Jojo, the blogger behind Vegan in Brighton, and I journeyed to the city yesterday to support Ms C’s opening day and to sample some of the wares (throwing the former in there to make it sound like the trip wasn’t really all about the latter).

We felt right at home (and not just because the shop was decked out with pretty much the same Ikea furniture in our homes). Ms C’s warm welcome and the friendly smiles of the entire staff, who are all extraordinarily marvelous by the way (I want to take them all home), will make anyone keen to settle in for some serious cake consumption.

There’s limited seating outside, shared with the cafe next door (where you can grab a coffee to enjoy with your cake), but it’s all under cover. Go sit with some strangers and make new friends. Do it.

Vegan cupcakes and cookies

In addition to cupcakes, there are cookies, cookie sandwiches, and cupcakes in a cup (for the serious sugar seekers). Flavours change frequently, so you’re pretty much going to have to show up every day to get a chance to sample them all. Vegan bakery stalking is a practice I highly recommend.

One of my favourite things about Ms C, aside from her confectionery prowess, is her support of other vegan bakers. Competition is stiff and she’s on top, but her friendship with, awareness, and support of her baking counterparts never ceases to give me the warm fuzzies.

Vegan Cookie Sandwiches

There are also plans in the works to offer classes at the retail location, so be ready to get your icing mitts on and create! Kids can enjoy decorating classes, and once the shop is up and running the fun will be extended to grown-ups too.

Vegan Cake

Drool away, and be sure to remember Ms Cupcake does private orders too! If you’ve got a birthday, wedding or cake fetishist awareness party in London, then she’s the lady to talk to.

Brixton is quick 7 minutes hop one stop down the line from London Victoria on mainline rail services, also accessible by tube in 10. From London Bridge grab the Northern line South to Stockwell and change to the Victoria line for Brixton. The shop is just a few minutes’ walk from both the mainline and underground stations.

      Thanks! I think I’m going back next weekend. It’s too good to stay away.

      If you’re hitting Ms Cupcake on the weekend, be sure to look around the rest of Brixton too. There are loads of great vegan options around there, especially on market days…

  • This is laap tod, a deep fried version of a popular salad in Thailand. Laap is a sour and spicy salad made with ground meat, lots of herbs, and crunchy ground toasted rice. To make laap tod this mixture is made into meatballs and fried. As you can see, it's perfectly possible to make a vegan version. I'll be serving this, along with the items below (subject to ingredient availability but I'm not anticipating any hiccups sourcing), at my next supper club on December 6. There are still a few tickets left. Link in bio and all that.⁠

  • 🇹🇭 Khao sen nam dtai are the noodles of dreams. A prevalent Tai Yai food in Mae Hong Son, these extruded rice threads are served with a pork tomato broth. Here @omnimeat is used in place of pork. Pork rinds, also easily made vegan, are common accompaniments. Another usual dish to occur alongside khao sen are papaya fritters (kang pong). A massive thank you to @napatcs mother for making us this incredible meal!⁠

  • 🇹🇭 During the vegetarian festival in Phuket there are hundreds of vendors hawking vegan grub. Most of the dishes served are either Southern or representative of favourites from regional Thai cuisines that have become uniformly appreciated and available across the country.⁠
⁠
Then there's Raan Jay (as in older sister, not the vegan diet jay) Rin (a name, I think) Aahaan Nuua (Northern food), who offers an immense spread of Northern Thai foods. I bought a selection, including nam prik noom (a relish made with grilled long green chillies) with pickled bamboo shoot, kaeng prik makua yao (long green aubergine stir fried with chilli, oil, sichuan peppercorn, galangal), kaeng ho (a Northern curry where at least one curry is stir fried with glass noodles and other bits – a great way to use leftovers), kaeng kanun (jackfruit curry – how good is it to see jackfruit without BBQ sauce?), kaeng hua plee (banana blossom curry).⁠
⁠
The only problem is there's no garlic during the jay festival and Northern food is incomplete without it.⁠
⁠
Northern Thai cuisine is, unfortunately, quite underrepresented in the Thai food repertoire outside of the North itself, and I have heard central and Southern Thais express negative opinions about the food from this region because it is so unique compared to other parts of the country.⁠

  • 🇹🇭The more I travel in Thailand the more mindful (in the sense of being informed, not full of woo) I am of deviations in regional cuisine. I snuck into my friend's makeshift kitchen at the vegetarian festival tent in Hat Yai in order to witness her in action. I had to snap this photo quickly before she emphatically pushed me back out front ("you go sell my food! Go sell!"). ⁠
⁠
This is her kaeng som, or sour curry. In the rest of Thailand, to differentiate from the central style of sour curry, this curry is referred to as kaeng luang. The word luang translates to yellow, only this is not the mild coconutty yellow curry on restaurant menus outside of Thailand. By contrast kaeng luang is redolent with fresh turmeric and chillies that set your innards alight. ⁠

  • 🇹🇭 @englishhaze and I frequently argue over what constitutes a reasonable breakfast. To him there are only a few passable menu items while I do not understand the European and American restrictions on breakfast foods. One of my favourite breakfasts are noodles in any form, but especially noodle soups and kanom jeen. This Thai extruded rice noodle is the only noodle eaten with curry and probably the only one not attributed to China Despite the word "jeen" being a reference to China or Chinese people, kanom jeen are most likely Mon Burmese in origin. 
Pictured here are kanom jeen kaeng kari gai jay (yellow curry with faux chicken) and kanom jeen kaeng tai pla jay (fermented faux fish entrails curry). The former is rich and sweet compared to the latter, which is a Southern fire bomb. There are loads of condiments served with kanom jeen. Heaps of fresh herbs and vegetables are especially common. The selection here is slightly limited, with cucumber, jackfruit, pickled mustard greens, preserved turnip, blanched morning glory, and bean sprouts.
