Right: Lexie Morris and her cupcake empire. |
"Whilst in London you can just go online and read ratings of the best designers, I had to find mine in Beijing through friends' recommendations," she said. "And good gossip led to all my early sponsorship gigs," such as the Yale University Beijing Club Halloween Ball and the Oxford-Cambridge Beijing Club Christmas Ball.
"Everyone just told me how smashing the cupcakes were," she said, delving into a laundry list of her deceptively simple recipe ("eggs, flour, butter, milk and sugar, and icing sugar is the main ingredient in the frosting - along with a few secret ingredients"), all baked-to-order from home and hand-delivered by Morris, though she has immediate plans to hire some help and future plans to set up a proper store over the summer.
"I just want that charming, old-fashioned English bakery," she said. "It may sound like a cliché, but I think that sort of thing could really catch on here."
