Miss Matilda: From Birmingham Pop-Ups to a New Bakehouse in Nechells

A sweet new chapter for Miss Matilda

Birmingham's independent food scene is full of businesses finding creative ways to make their mark, and Miss Matilda is one worth discovering. Known for its indulgent chocolate cakes and rich desserts, the independent bakehouse has taken an exciting step forward with a physical location in Nechells.

Situated at 2 Metro Triangle, Mount Street, Miss Matilda's new home gives customers another way to discover a brand that has already attracted attention through pop-ups, food events and word of mouth.

For those who previously discovered Miss Matilda at an event stall, there's now a dedicated Birmingham location to explore.

The chocolate cake that gets people talking

At the heart of Miss Matilda's offering is its signature Matilda cake — a rich, layered chocolate creation that has become closely associated with the business.

It's the kind of dessert designed for chocolate lovers, with layers of sponge and chocolate buttercream creating an unmistakably indulgent centrepiece.

Customer reviews frequently highlight the Matilda cake, with visitors praising its generous portions, rich flavour and presentation. Some customers even describe travelling to events specifically to pick up a slice.

The Dream Cake is another standout, offering a different take on chocolate indulgence in its distinctive dessert tin.

More than just chocolate cake

Although chocolate is a major part of Miss Matilda's identity, the menu goes beyond its signature cakes.

Customers have also highlighted the banana pudding, while the business has showcased desserts including Black Forest Matilda Cake, Crunch Cake and pistachio kunafa pots.

There's a sense of variety to the offering, from individual dessert portions to larger cakes suitable for sharing and celebrations.

For anyone exploring Birmingham's independent dessert businesses, that range is part of what makes Miss Matilda an interesting discovery.

From event stalls to a permanent home

One of the most interesting parts of Miss Matilda's story is its journey into a physical bakehouse.

The business began in 2024 and built its presence through events, pop-ups and customer recommendations. Its move into a dedicated Nechells location marks a significant new chapter.

Recent customer feedback has welcomed the new premises, with visitors commenting on the desserts, staff and atmosphere.

Opening a permanent location is an important milestone for an independent food business. It creates a place for returning customers to visit while giving new customers the opportunity to discover the brand.

A Birmingham business worth discovering

What makes Miss Matilda a fitting Local Finds feature isn't simply the chocolate cake. It's the story of an independent business building a following around a recognisable product and taking the next step in its journey.

From its signature Matilda cake and Dream Cake to banana pudding and celebration desserts, Miss Matilda brings a distinctive chocolate-focused offering to Birmingham's dessert scene.

Whether you're already familiar with the business from local events or are discovering it for the first time, its Nechells bakehouse is one to keep on your radar.
