We're delighted that Ms Cupcake is joining us for a Q&A about vegan baking this week. If you're vegan, know someone with allergies to eggs or dairy or are just interested in vegan baking, post a question before midday on Wednesday 15th May and we'll post up the answers on Weds 22nd May. Ms Cupcake has also kindly given us access to a couple of vegan cupcake recipes from her first book, Ms Cupcake: The Naughtiest Vegan Cakes in Town. See recipes here for Vegan Red Velvet Cupcakes and Vegan Blueberry Almond Cupcakes.
Ms Cupcake is a glamorous, fifties-styled vegan baker who dreams of bringing decadent vegan baking to the masses. Originally hailing from Canada, Ms Cupcake moved to London in 1999. She began baking from home when she couldn't find indulgent bakery goods for vegans in London and soon realised that it wasn't just vegans that weren't being catered for, but also those allergic to different foods like eggs and milk. She launched London's first entirely vegan cake shop in Brixton in April 2011, which was recently shortlisted for Britain's Best Bakery on ITV. In her first sumptuous book, Ms Cupcake shares her secret recipes and enthusiasm for delicious vegan cakes and bakes.
All those who join the Q&A will be entered into a draw to win one of five copies of Ms Cupcake's book.
