BABYCAKES NYC

With so many sugar-loaded sweets decorated with brightly colored frosting vying for kids' attention, finding a treat that appeals to children and still has enough nutritional value to be guilt-free is a tough task. Luckily, BabyCakes NYC is here to help!

Fashionista turned baker, Erin McKenna has created the perfect solution. In her vegan bakery in the trendiest part of New York City, we found the most delicious (yet healthy) baked goods that are already a celebrity favorite! These refined sugar-free, gluten-free, wheat-free, soy-free, casein-free, egg-free, vegan and kosher treats can cure any sweet tooth-- the healthy way. Next time you need a cake, a cupcake, or just an excuse to have something sweet, head over to the Lower East Side and pay Erin a visit at 248 Broome Street.

Don’t live in New York City? No problem. She is about to launch another BabyCakes bakery in the West Coast. Los Angeles to be exact! If not, her first cookbook, BabyCakes: Vegan, (Mostly) Gluten-Free, and (Mostly) Sugar-Free Recipes from New York's Most Talked-About Bakery, can do the trick. Now everyone can do their own trial-and-errors at home, while reading about celebrity favorites and McKenna’s experiences with BabyCakes NYC.
