Product Description
Forget everything
you’ve heard about
health-conscious baking.


Simply, BabyCakes is your key to an enlightened, indulgent, sweets-filled future. This is important news not only for parents whose children have allergies, for vegans, and for others who struggle with food sensitivities, but also for all you sugar-loving traditionalists. The recipes in these pages prove that there is a healthy alternative to recklessly made desserts, one that doesn't sacrifice taste or texture.

Having experimented endlessly with alternative, health-conscious sweeteners, flours, and thickeners, Erin McKenna, the proprietress of beloved bakery BabyCakes NYC, developed these recipes–most are gluten-free, all are without refined sugar–in hopes of combating her own wheat, dairy, and sugar sensitivities. In BabyCakes, she shares detailed information about the ingredients she uses (coconut flour, xanthan gum, and agave nectar, for example) and how to substitute them properly for common ones–all the while guiding you safely through techniques she’s spent years perfecting.

When BabyCakes NYC opened on Manhattan’s Lower East Side in 2005, it helped propel the gluten-free and vegan baking movement into a new stratosphere. Suddenly there was a destination for those with wheat allergies and other dietary restrictions–and, soon enough, celebrities and dessert lovers of every kind–to indulge freely in delectable muffins and teacakes, brownies and cookies, pies and cobblers.

Enclosed within these pages are all the “secrets” you’ll need to bring the greatness of BabyCakes NYC into your own home as well as raves and recommendations from devotees such as Natalie Portman, Jason Schwartzman, Mary-Louise Parker, Zooey Deschanel, and Pamela Anderson.

For confectionists of all kinds, delicious alternatives lie within: Red Velvet Cupcakes, Chocolate Shortbread Scones with Caramelized Bananas, Strawberry Shortcake, and BabyCakes NYC’s celebrated frosting (so delicious it has fans tipping back frosting shots!), to name just a few. Finally, Erin’s blissful desserts are yours for the baking!

3 out of 5 stars Nice book   July 11, 2010

I am vegan but this book is vegan/gluten free not that I am gluten sensitive but I thought I'd try some of the recipes, I have to say they require some hard to find ingredients for the average baker, I of course have used many of these in my baking but if you don't like complicated recipes or expensive ingredients then don't buy this, otherwise if you require a gluten free diet them it is a must have.


5 out of 5 stars This Is A Terrific Vegan Dessert Cookbook   July 5, 2010

I'm allergic to eggs and dairy, so essentially need to eat vegan when it comes to desserts.

I've tried substituting things for eggs and milk or butter, but the desserts always end up dry and crumbly.

I had read great reviews of the bakery in NYC, so I thought I'd try the cookbook. Things turn out moist and full of great flavor. I've made things for friends who don't eat vegan, and they love the things I make that come from this cookbook. They're always surprised that they like them as well as non-vegan desserts.

I understand people being frustrated that not all of the recipes are gluten-free, but if you don't need to avoid gluten, but do eat vegan, I'd recommend this book highly. You can be vegan and have great tasting dessert.
