About this ebook
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!

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Great resource book for a new vegan - I can have my cake and eat it too! If in NYC I will definitely stop by Babycakes,
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a fantastic vegan baking book! I'm not gluten free, so currently I've been subbing flour for the gluten free ingredients, but as soon as I get enough money to go out and buy arrowroot and rice flour and xanthan gum I will definitely try them sans-gluten as well. The food is delicious, and the photos are just to die for. I've made the donuts (which were a HUGE hit with my omni roommates) and a few of the simpler cakes and cookies, and can't wait to try out a few of the more complicated recipes. This is a solid baker's cookbook with quite a few workarounds and troubleshooting for any novices looking to create fantastic food.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This cookbook is amazing!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5If you want to be gluten free, and you don't eat chemical companies version of "sugar", this book will be useless.The "mostly" in the title is accurate... MOSTLY the recipes require Spelt which is not gluten free (but is wheat free) and ALL of the "sugar-free" recipes use a man-made sugar substitute. There are a couple gluten free recipes (which are not very good) but the ones they are "famous" for require spelt so I couldn't try them. There are better cookbooks out there (Washburn and Hagman come to mind).
