Erin McKenna of Babycakes has built an empire based on cupcakes, doughnuts,
cookies and all things baked. What sets her apart is that her recipes are
free of: refined sugar, gluten, wheat, casein, soy and eggs and are vegan and
are kosher to boot. How’s she do it? With style and finesse, not to mention hard
work and lots of trial and error. But Erin, a model of a woman with a vision,
made it happen and now we get to enjoy the fruits of her labor.
I had the opportunity to visit one of her store
fronts at Disney World in Orlando, Florida. There are also Babycakes bakeries
in New York City and Los Angeles. Was it everything I imagine? Did the
“happiest place on earth” give me the happiest tummy on earth? You betcha.
Babycakes Orlando did not disappoint.
After spending the day frolicking around the parks, I
promised the kids a sweet treat with a very selfish motive in mind, I wanted me
some real-deal Babycakes.
And Babycakes I got.
Clockwise from left to right: Blueberry Toastie Loaf,
vanilla cupcake, vanilla glazed doughnut and carrot cupcake.

They were each unique in their flavor, but consistently
moist and sweet, but not too sweet. It had been a long time since I’d eaten a
cupcake or doughnut and these were definitely worth the trip. Remember whatever
your own or a member of your family’s dietary restrictions, Babycakes has got
you covered. You can order and have baked goods delivered (really!) or…Check
back soon for a couple of my favorite recipes from the Babycakes Cookbooks...

I honestly don't know how these could still be good without all of those ingredients, but I trust your judgement! Wish I was in the area so I could check it out!!
ReplyDeleteOh, no they weren't just good, they were divine. Trust me...and you're in Cali...there is a shop in LA. Just sayin.
DeleteThese look so amazing! And I have to say that I think that "babycakes" is about the cutest name for a bakery shop ever. Kind of wish I thought of it! Just found your blog and I've enjoyed getting to know you better. I'm excited to follow along!
