Is it true? Babycakes in DTD?

[casjen]

I read it but I feel like I can't believe it. Vegan cupcakes in Disney? DTD will be my first stop if this is true!!

Just read a review and this was included:

Babycakes NYC is a vegan bakery on New York’s Lower East Side. A downtown L.A. outpost opened recently, and now a third outpost has appeared at Walt Disney World.

It occupies a corner of the former McDonald’s building, sharing space with two quick service restaurants – Pollo Campero and Fresh A-Peel.

Enjoy!

Wow, that is awesome!! Especially since vegan cupcakes taste even better than regular cupcakes!

Our 24 year old daughter asked me to let folks know just how great this place is! She is allergic to all things dairy, and Babycakes thrilled her with delicious cupcakes. Her favorites (yeah, we only bought her a half a dozen...) were mint chocolate chip and lemon. Happy cheerful FUN people working here--they really seemed elated to be able to help a girl get her cupcake fix! Can't say enough good things about Babycakes!!

I am in heaven!! I've been to the one in LA a couple of times and I am in loooove with their cupcakes and cinnamon buns. I am allergic to eggs and peanuts so this is heaven for me.

We are going to go there the first night and get scones, cinnamon buns and a few cupcakes for the time we will be there. Finally....some excellent treats for people with allergies! SO much better than the Divvies cookies

This is true! I was just reading it yesterday, and even posted a thread about it yesterday (although I'm now having a hard time finding it). So glad they are replacing McDonald's with this. However they still need to work on making them low carb and sugar free (stevia, maybe?) to be healthier than fast food. Otherwise it is still just a bunch of starch and sugars. No gluten though!

Does anybody know if they will ship their products to Canada? We are going to Disney in 2 weeks and am thinking it would be great to have some shipped to my niece who is allergic to eggs, dairy and nuts.

We are excited too. My son has a glueten allergy and is sooo excited to try the donuts. There is an article on the Disney Food Blog. Although they were not as excited, there were still pics.

I would be so annoyed if they did this unless they continued to offer regular options.

When I am having a treat such as cake or cupcakes I want the real deal. With real sugar. I dont want some "healthy" junk. I make sure to eat properly on a regular basis. When I want a treat, I want a real treat. Personally, I dont consider low carb, sugar free to be a real treat.

This is AWESOME! Myself and all four kids are gluten free and my oldest daughter is allergic to peanuts, and my youngest daughter is allergic to dairy, eggs, peanuts, and tree nuts.

I have been wanting to go to NYC just to try this place but my husband just laughs at me when I mention it, now we can try it in March!

Many many places do not ship across the border when it comes to food (it is a customs issue and a freshness issue since things can get stuck in customs).

My DD can not have dairy either and I am so excited to try their products in March! I feel so bad when we have to buy a cake if we are not home for a birthday and she cannot eat it.

There are not many bakeries in Montreal that offer dairy-free, and I found a book titled "Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World" that has very easy recipes and they are moist and delicious! Not to mention the fact you can go to town eating the batter and not worry about getting sick!

Are they on the dining plan?
Was wondering if you could get the cupcakes for a snack...they sound good!

I suppose that's where we disagree, because whenever I make something "healthy", it tastes exactly like the original. Even my family and friends cannot tell the difference, and it really does feel like you're indulging in something not-so good for you. The recipes I've come up with does take a LONG time to test to make just right, but it is well worth it in terms of health and taste.

I am so excited about this!!! My son has FPIES with milk and thus has to avoid all dairy - we leave next Monday and are planning to spend our entire last day (Dec. 5th) at DTD. It will be awesome to get him some snacks there!

just recently learned about the Babycakes and def'ly on my to check list.. love the one located in NY and they also mail cupcakes... but fresh ones!!!!!!!! I have died and gone to heaven!

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

WOOOT!!!!!!

I'll have to side with the SF cupcakes idea. (I'm not saying for everyone, it would just be nice to have the option) Some people would say the same about dairy, that they don't want it if they can't have it all, but some people have allergies or are vegan. For me, I'm vegan, and I will have a cupcake b/c I'm on vacation b/c it's exciting to me that they are available, but I have a bad reaction to sugar, just as someone might to dairy, so I would love a SF option. I'll eat one (or five) anyway though and just deal with the pain!

Some of their baked goods are sweetened with agave, not sugar. I don't know how many options the DTD one offers, but I'm sure they have at least a few of those every day. I'll be visiting it soon hopefully!
