Ruth Williams, the owner of The Sugar Mouse, hails from Essex, England. Her journey into the world of cupcakes began in 2012 when she started selling her British recipe cupcakes to support child victims of sex trafficking in Cambodia. Her dedication led to the creation of ‘Heart Mothers,’ a group of over 100 women who support and mentor children rescued from this abhorrent trade.

In an effort to fund their orphanage, Ruth began selling cupcakes at the local Farmers Market, sending thousands of dollars every year to aid these girls. Laramie soon embraced her as ‘the cupcake lady.’ In 2019, she opened The Sugar Mouse Cupcake House, named after a beloved British candy, where she now offers more than twenty mouthwatering cupcake flavors, British sweets, and gifts. The menu includes traditional English lunches and, of course, cream teas. Every child who visits receives a sweet sugar mouse, a gesture of kindness that reflects Ruth’s commitment to making a difference.

Today, while The Cambodian Government financially supports the orphanage, The Sugar Mouse continues to operate as a private business. It donates to fundraisers for the girls and various local organizations, embodying the spirit of giving back.

Don’t miss the chance to visit The Sugar Mouse Cupcake House and take advantage of their fantastic “Happy Hour” deal. Indulge in the comfort of a warm bowl of soup or hearty English stew and treat yourself to a FREE cupcake. It’s not just a meal; it’s an experience.
