The cupcakes at BabyCakes are not sugar free. They don't use any cane sugar but they're sweetened with agave nectar. This is easier on the blood sugar than cane sugar but I assure you it is still a type of sugar.

Everything at the DTD BabyCakes location is vegan and gluten free and sweetened with agave nectar instead of sugar and they use coconut butter for the base of the icings. We ordered a cake from them for DD13's birthday. It was delicious though expensive, but since DD13 can't eat gluten, milk or eggs, it was totally worth it for a delicious store bought birthday cake. That being said, you could taste that it wasn't a regular cake. It was much milder than a typical gluten free cake would taste but still definitely noticeably different from typical bakery flavour. My DH who won't typically touch any of our kids' gluten free items ate a second piece of the cake. DH is a type 2 diabetic and the dessert didn't affect his blood sugar the way a typical iced cake would.

They do have sugar free options, they rotate specialty cupcakes in the DTD shop, and you can always order them through their NYC store. They had a lemon poppyseed one back in december that the icing was sugar free. I loved it.

Sorry I couldn't resist!!

They were both delish! However I liked the peanut butter one better. It had a "fudge" inside...oh so good!!!

Maybe I'm a cupcake snob, but I tried the marble cupcake & the red velvet cupcake from Starring Rolls & I thought both were kind of flavorless & too sweet. The icing on the red velvet was okay but not great. There was no real flavor difference in the cake part of either cupcake. And they both tasted a little stale. I'm looking forward to trying babycakes on our upcoming trip to see how that is. I'll just say if you have a good bakery in your hometown, or if you've ever had Sprinkles cupcakes, the cupcakes at Starring Rolls are pretty much not much to write home about in terms of flavor.

If you mean the Sprinkles that was featured on Cupcake Wars..oh my, I couldn't afford paying for a dozen cupcakes (39$) So i bought the mix! probably doesn't taste the same..but oh well!

Babycakes NYC states REFINED sugar free for their products, not sugar free.

From the about our ingredients portion of their website

What kind of sweeteners do you use?
We use agave nectar, an all-natural, low-glycemic sweetener derived from a cactus for most of our baked goods. It is commonly safe for type 2 diabetics with non-insulin dependency. We use unrefined, evaporated cane juice for all other products.

As I said, it's certainly BETTER for diabetics but it is not sugar free.

I think they use too much icing.

Too...much...icing?? Sorry, that does not compute!

 

[River Country]

you would be referring to starring rolls. Yes they have awesome cupcakes, huge too!! Be sure to be there before 1 or 2pm as they don't stay open all day and run out early.

Here are our meals from there.
A butterfinger cupcake and a peanut butter/chocolate one. Oh my....the peanut butter was out of this world.

omg!!!!!!!!!!

Phenomenal

Totally agree! I was soooo pumped up to have one last summer and was dreadfully disappointed. I found the ones at the Contempo Cafe to be MUCH better and the ones at Gasparilla's to be good, too.

The chocolate peanut butter one from Starring Rolls was just overly sweet and tasted like chemicals.
