Rumsy's Noose

Hi everyone! Rumsy’s Noose is going on a break for a little while. Our noble scout, Kaiser, was regrettably diagnosed with degenerative myelopathy last year, an untreatable paralytic condition that will sadly worsen unpredictably over time. He has been one of the great shining stars of our universe ever since we adopted him seven years ago, and in his magnificent prime, he prowled and ranged across every mountain he could, slurping from icy water streams in Silvermine, questing through the emerald ravines of Table Mountain, and adventurously slipping into the foamy surf of our meandering coastlines. As a young couple, he expanded our sensorium and gave us the beginnings of our fascination with wilderness lore and the woodland stride. So, as much as we love our weekend baking marathons, we would prefer to take some time off to be with this good boy in his twilight years. We will continue to post updates from our kitchen experiments, and will see you in the future, bearing armfuls of sticky, sweet, candy-coloured vegan treats. Peace x

New on the menu! This doughnut is bursting with custard, topped with strawberry glaze and a homemade secret-ingredient strawberry and vanilla biscuit crumble. Slurp!

Rums and Ponzu, staring dreamily into each other's eyes... or perhaps this is just a rare peaceful encounter moments before they descend into another episode of sibling swiping and playful pawing! Either way, these two are our Valentines and are here two announce that we are taking orders for this Val's Day, SUNDAY the 14th of February. Have a look at our story for the menu and get in touch to place your order and share a box of vegan treats with your special person! Peace x

There’s another doughnut weekend on the horizon! so send your preorders in and you could be slurping up mango-lemongrass and toasted coconut rings, vanilla bourbon creme brûlées and all the other usual favourites. Have a glance at our menu and get in touch, oh ye of glistening fang.

It’s been a long, time-warp of a year and it’s lurching to a close. To celebrate, we are doing a final round of doughnut-making on Christmas eve (the 24th), featuring some Decembery things like gingerbread custard-filled doughnuts and homemade mince pies whose interiors are jammed with spoonfuls of fruit-mince that have been soaking in brandy for a full year. Have a look at our menu and get in touch to place an order, oh snarling empress.

We are all sold out for this weekend, but keep an eye on our stories on Saturday for any sneaky flash sales 💗

Hi everyone! come visit us at the this Sunday in Constantia! Our famous pumpkin pie with chai glaze and gingersnap doughnuts are back on the menu, and we’re keeping our new cardamom pistachio buns with rosewater glaze on too. Our books are open for preorders, so have a look at our weekend menu on our story, and get in touch. Hope to see you there. Peace x

Hi everyone! we are fully booked out this coming Saturday, so unfortunately cannot accommodate any more personal orders. We will be back at the in Constantia on the 25th, though, so you can visit us then and gather up a few armfuls of sticky, glazed rings. In the meantime, enjoy this snap of our new apple custard filled doughnut with a crumble topping. Slurp!

See you all soon!

New vegan treats incoming! these cardamom, pistachio and rosewater buns will be for sale at the this Saturday. They are the latest sibling to our usual vanilla and salted caramel pecan cinnamon rolls, and they have a "delightful Turkish" flavour to them, if you catch my drift. If you are one of those people who don’t like Turkish delight, please report to the headmaster’s office immediately.

We still have some spaces open for preorders, so if you’d like to ensure you get your hands on some drippy vegan doughnuts this weekend, please have a look at our menu and get in touch. Peace x

Dear everyone! we are catering a small wedding this weekend, and so unfortunately are not available for personal/private orders this Saturday. We’ll be back in action and torching vanilla-bourbon creme brûlée doughnuts the following weekend! Peace x

Many of you have had the dubious honour of being borked at by our protective little pavement jackal, Ponzu. Like many of her siblings in our four-legged menagerie, she goes by many nommes de guerre, including Ponnington, Ponichiwa, Ponny, Poopy, Detective Snoopington and Zu Biscuit. We adopted Ponzu from the Animal Anti-Cruelty League () in early 2019, shortly after she had been plucked off the streets of Kuils River. Ponzu was diagnosed with severe hip dysplasia which meant she couldn’t run properly as a puppy and often used to whistle-cry with pain in the evenings. Secretly, we began to save up money from our Rumsy’s Noose orders to help fund a hip replacement surgery for this whiskered brat. Well, it’s many moons later and we’re pleased to say Ponzu is completely recovered: she’s a happy, bouncing, squirrel-hunting, amphibious alsatian who loves to gulp up fresh mountain air and pounce on the odd crumpled leaf. I’m sure Ponzu would like to personally deliver a face-slurp of thank-yous to all our customers who supported us over the years and helped fund her surgery. Thank you from us, too! Peace x

Thanks for these amazing shots 📸

Thanks to everyone who ordered this weekend! Our s’mores doughnut is a double overdose of dark chocolate, with a creamy chocolate ganache filling and a drippy chocolate glaze. We top them with wonderful homemade marshmallows by our friend Terri from , who veganises awesome old-school confectionary items, including white chocolates, Rolos and chewy candies: check her out! These s’mores doughnuts would go well with a cup of hot chocolate on this stormy Saturday… alas, if only there was one left for me. Peace x

It looks like another moody, cloud-drippy Saturday on the horizon and we have just a couple of spaces left for private orders. So get in touch and you could be munching on an olive oil salted choc chip cookie while thunder trembles the window frames and your dog tap-dances on the wooden floorboards like he’s putting in a last-ditch, desperate audition for “lord of the dance”. Many thanks to for the lovely photo

thanks to everyone who visited us at the this past weekend - we sold out pretty much everything on preorder alone! and thanks to our darling friend .bauer for this crystal snap of Frankie, slurping his own snout at the prospect of some Rumsy’s Noose vegan treats - the wetter the snout, the better the sniffing powers.

We are taking a break from private orders this weekend, but are experimenting on a bunch of new and original recipes behind the scenes. Stay tuned for more info and see you on the flipside. Peace x

Dear fanged ones: If you’re hungry for a vegan doughnut-fix, we’ll be at the this Saturday, bearing armfuls of sugary treats! in addition to salted caramel pecan cinnamon swirls and pumpkin pie-filled doughnuts with chai glaze and gingersnap crumble, our pizza swirls are back by popular demand: sundried tomato marinara, basil pesto and “mozarella”, all homemade everything, wrapped up in swirls of puffy dough. Have a look at our menu on our story, and remember: you can preorder if you’re worried you’re going to miss out! we will have your box prepped and packed and ready for collection at the market. See you there! Peace
