Lady M Finally Hits China, with 2 Hour Lines

It’s been about a month since we first heard the rumors, and it’s finally here! Lady M has opened its boutique cake shop in Lujiazui. One slice of cake will cost you between RMB60-80, but before you run out the door to buy some, plan on waiting for a while. Line wait times are currently around 2 hours.

The original world famous Lady M first opened on Madison Ave in New York City in 2004, followed by shops in Singapore, Hong Kong, Taipei and now, Shanghai.

Aside from their incredible cakes (which we’ll get to in a minute), they’ve gained world-wide notoriety for their white, minimalist design and clean, open space. At Lady M, less is more.

All of Lady M’s cakes sit around a dramatic circle, on display like luxurious jewelry (that you can eat!)

Signature Millie Crêpes

Golden caramel pastry with layers of fresh French pastry and light cream.

It’s a 10+ hour journey to complete all 20 layers of this delicious cake.

Passion Mille Crêpes

Rich passion fruit jam combined with French pastry makes for a truly mouthwatering experience. The combination of sweet, savory and sour notes gives it a tropical flavor.

Green Tea Mille Crêpes

Japanese matcha powder adds a hint of bitterness to this usually sweet cake.

The tea flavor is just subtle enough to not be overpowering, but will leave you with a lovely, zingy aftertaste.

Rose Mille Crêpes

This romantic-looking cake has been dyed a stunning soft pink, suitable for lovebirds.

Real rose petals are sprinkled on top of the cake, making this the perfect gift for your loved one. In addition to the usual cake layers, expect to find rose mousse and light cream inside.

Gâteau Nuage

Gateau Nuage is a simple, white and pure cheesecake.

Couronne du Chocolat

White chocolate slices are laid around the circumference of the cake, just like a crown. This is ideal for the chocolate lover who wants to indulge in a pure, rich chocolate cake.

In addition to the six classic cakes, Lady M will also introduce limited edition seasonal cakes.
