Babycakes...

[pinky]

babycakes is a bakery in nyc...

i tried their cupcakes.

in general, i found the texture of the cake part to be quite good-- much less dense than a lot of gluten-free cakes. better than happy happy happy (which closed down). the frosting, however, was not very good. these cupcakes could be awesome w/this cake and magnolia/buttercup bakery frosting!

of the three i tried,

i liked the vanilla the best,

the carrot the second best,

and i didn't really like the chocolate one at all (too cocoa-y or something).

anyone else try this place???

I tried it. Had a vanilla and chocolate cup cake. Both were good I thought. I liked the frosting but it does have a slightly different taste--soy maybe? Can't totally remember now. I thought the chocolate chip cookies were great!

I was really looking forward to trying these cupcakes and was extremely disappointed when I eventually did. The icing was disgusting...it didn't taste like icing. And considering icing is usually one of the easier things to find that is "gluten free," I wasn't impressed. Also, I thought the cupcake was really dense. Also, I had a really bad stomachache afterwards, which I was surprised since there was nothing that I am allergic/intolerance to in the cupcakes.

i liked babycakes but did not LOVE it. i felt like i only really liked it b/c i hadnt had cupcakes in a long time. I think Risotteria's desserts are SO much better-- everything i have had there for dessert has been sensational- and my non-celiac friends all agree.

OMG, I had an incredible strawberry shortcake at Risotteria a few weeks ago. It was just short of me licking the plate

Stef - How's everything going? Are you in Westchester now?

AMAZING right? I couldve ordered another-- except we got the very last one they had... I have never had a bad dessert there though, i dont know what they put in their food, but its like crack! The baker there is opening up a bakery in NYC sometime in the next year or so, i cant wait!
