Is it true? Babycakes in DTD?

[Be1021]

I don't know how long they will be there. There was no one buying anything what I was there a couple of weeks age. Seemed like an odd fit.

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!

OHMYGOSH!!!!! Thanks for letting me know this! Just what I needed, another reason to go to WDW!

Ok, I just went and did my research and they don't use refined white sugar AT ALL! Their cupcakes are gluten free, dairy free, and refined sugar free! Here's some info from their site:

In a city dominated by cupcakes overflowing with sugar, flour and butter cream, it’s easy for those with persnickety diets to feel left out. BabyCakes offers all-natural, organic and delicious alternatives free from the common allergens: wheat, gluten, dairy, casein and eggs. Rest assured, all sweeteners have been chosen responsibly and used sparingly. White sugar will never be found in our bakery, nor will we ever use toxic chemical sweeteners. Instead, most products are sweetened with agave nectar—a natural syrup from a cactus which is low on the glycemia index and often a safe alternative to most non-insulin dependant diabetics. Occasionally, unprocessed and unrefined sugar is used in certain goods, although sparingly.

Here's their NY website,I emailed them to ask if the DTD store would have the same options and I'll report back when I find out!

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!

Why do they have to be "healthy" if it is a treat? For those that live with allergies we know how rare it is to be able to purchase a treat that won't make us sick.

If I want healthy I can eat a carrot. Once in awhile it is pure heaven to be able to walk into a place and order something like a "normal" person.
