Babycakes: Recipes from New York's most talked about bakery - Erin McKenna

Hardback.  Very good condition.  2009

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.

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 Babyckes 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!
