Babycakes...

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 :D

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!

Jillian- I am in westchester- bar was last week and i am now just recovering and relaxing...we must do dinner!

      I’m so confused…

      Thank you. I already cut out dairy and eggs because I found out I was having a problem with them. To be honest I’m just getting worn out 😂

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      Hi Kitty, thank you for your e mail, I have seen a nutritionist who seemed to be happy with the food diary I had been keeping and nothing was mentioned about extra vitamins, and I’m still using milk etc . The steroids seem to be working and everything is functioning as it should however, the course of tablets finish at the end of February and I...

      Being a burden to family/friends

      It might be understandable to say "friends or family weeded me or you out of their lives". Some people are fearful of getting out of their comfortable known lives and having to make changes to accommodate another. If they are too uncomfortable to walk a mile with me, I shake the dust off my feet and journey on. They're just not ready to learn that lesson...

      You might also be sensitive to other things while you are healing. Dairy, for example. It won't harm you from a celiac standpoint but is inflammatory and could be bothering you. Have you been keeping a food & symptom journal? Might be worth it for a week to see if you notice something you are eating prior to the times you feel your worst. I hope you start...

      Recipe Apps?

      Someone recently recommended Superfoods for looking up recipes free of allergens or intolerances. It's a web site but there's also an app.

      Hi Kitty, thank you for your e mail,  I have seen a nutritionist who seemed to be happy with the food diary I had been keeping and nothing was mentioned about extra vitamins, and I’m still using milk etc . The steroids seem to be working and everything is functioning as it should however,  the course of tablets finish at the end of February and I have an appointment with the consultant early April probably followed by another endoscopy, as far as I’m aware I have not been tested for vitamin B and will definitely discuss it with the doctor on my next visit.
