Mellissa Morgan, owner of Ms Cupcake and former Rising Star Award winner at British Baker’s Baking Industry Awards 2011, is launching her first recipe book.

Published by Square Peg, part of the Random House Group, the book, entitled Ms Cupcake The Naughtiest Vegan Cakes in Town!, goes on sale this May and features recipes from her Brixton-based vegan bakery business.

Recipes include cupcakes and muffins, frostings, cookies and tray-bakes, in addition to deep-fried treats, with influences from North America, such as peanut butter cookie sandwiches, snickerdoodles and fried cookie dough balls, as well as twists on British classics like a Victoria sponge cake and Bakewell tart cupcakes.

To read one of the recipes from Morgan’s new book, read the 22 February issue of British Baker.
