FROM now on, those who have a sweet tooth don’t need to cross the border to Hong Kong to get a slice of the finest cakes of Lady M as the New York-based cake boutique has opened its first outlet in South China at the newly-opened MixC shopping mall in Shenzhen Bay, Nanshan District.

Known for its Signature Mille Crepes Cake, Lady M has been considered one of the finest and most celebrated patisseries in New York City. Lady M prides itself in creating the freshest and finest cakes, the most exquisite and high-quality confections that are handmade by its dedicated pastry chefs with the finest ingredients.

The Signature Mille Crêpes feature no less than 20 paper-thin handmade crêpes layered with ethereally light pastry cream, gently caramelized on top until golden.

The Green Tea Mille Crêpes are one of the highlights. Fine green tea powder is infused into every element of the delicate Green Tea Mille Crêpes, a sight to behold with no less than 20 lacy-thin crepes enveloping the lightest pastry cream, vibrant green tea flavors gently humming in the background and with powdered green tea on top.

The Rose Mille Crêpes is a delight to both your eyes and taste buds. Its paper-thin handmade crêpes are layered with rose flavored pastry cream garnished with sweet rose jelly and edible rose petals.

For chocolate lovers, Checkers is a must try. The tender checkerboard of vanilla and chocolate sponge cake features the lightest fresh whipped cream tucked between the squares, all outfitted in a silky dark chocolate ganache.(Yang Mei)
