NYC Cake Wonder, Lady M Arrives Shanghai This August!

No.1 popular dessert hotspot of New York, Lady M, will open at Shanghai IFC this August. 

It is selected as the “top ten American cake” by Bon Appetit magazine and hailed as the "Chanel of all cakes" by Travel + Leisure magazine. 

Originally from New York, Lady M made her way to Asia beginning in Singapore, then through Hong Kong then Taiwan and now, Shanghai.

From the Hollywood star Sharon Stone, to the supermodel Linda Evangelista, and media mogul Oprah Winfrey and Martha Stewart are among their loyal fans.

What can you expect at Lady M?

Their signature cake is the Mille Crepe, the original French layer cake. This contains 20 layers of thin general handmade cake, sandwiched between rich layers of greasy fresh cream, with caramel sprinkles on top. Making this cakes takes 10 hours.

Baked to a golden brown caramel, the cake's visible 20 layers squeezed between layers of cream are the talk of the town. 

Another popular option is the Matcha layer cake, promising diners rich layers of matcha.

In addition to Mille Crepe, there is also the sponge cake. The Chocolate Chessboard cake is also one of the signature cakes of Lady M. The arrangement of chocolate and sponge cake just like a chessboard, hence the name. The outer chocolate tastes slightly bitter, but the middle of the chocolate tastes slightly sweet, with the sponge cake and cream inlet, such a perfect match, it is a marvelous taste and wonderful taste.

The Matcha sponge cake is also worth recommending.

In addition, Lady M often make limited edition cakes with different festivals, season or places.

Who is behind Lady M?

The owner of Lady M is Ken Romaniszyn (of Japanese and American heritage), who set out to bring the flavors of Japanese desserts to the US. Ken is a Hawaii native and his parents operated a Japanese Catering group called Wasabi Bistro. Ken’s inspiration for Lady M grew from his travels throughout Asia and the summers he spent with his grandmother in Japan.

What is Lady M Style?

Lady M everywhere almost maintains a unified style of decoration. Set against a predominately white pallete, the design is simple, sleek and sophisticated.  

We look forward to welcoming Lady M this August!
