Product reviewsBabyCakes : Vegan, (Mostly) Gluten-Free, and (Mostly) Sugar-Free Recipes from New York's Most Talked-About Bakery: a Baking Book by Erin McKenna (2009, Hardcover)

NY's Innovative Bakery!

I just received this wonderful book from my sister who found out I was recently diagnosed as gluten intolerant and needed to cut back on sugar as well. Real sad since I collect a LOT of dessert cookbooks that I can bake from, but not eat from! This book is a Godsend to people like me! Ms. McKenna has writtern a lucsious dessert book from her famous NY bakery by the same name that contains vegan, gluten-free, and mostly sugar-free recipes. Lots of pictures and comments from the stars that love to buy from her. All the ingredients are given in the front and how to obtain them if you can't find them locally. Most you can. She does use spelt in a few recipes and explains how it differs from gluten-free and how some people can tolerate this ancient ancestor to flour, but some can't, so substitutions are given. I have only found a few recipes that contain the spelt. Back to the photos....they are so over the top delicious real looking I want to eat the pages! Hey sis.....thanks so much for thinking of me and my sweet tooth!Read full review...

Excellent cookbook. Easy to use.

I was exited to find this book, finally treats for those with gluten intolerance.
The recipes are easy to use and the desserts actually taste very good. I recently made the cherry lemon cupcakes for some friends. The cupcakes were a big hit.
I actually borrowed this cookbook from my local library twice. I just had to buy it.Read full review...

NOT gluten free

Several recipes call for spelt which is related to wheat and is not gluten free. Most recipes call for at least 1/2 cup of coconut oil which is not healthy at all. Pictures were awesome, though.

Even if you were to never bake from it, it's entertaing

I love this book! It's hilariously written and I adore it.

I haven't quite mastered the baking- it takes a lot of practice, but the frosting I made was yummy. I feel like I'm on my way to being good at baking with it, but haven't quite reached that level.

I highly recommend it!Read full review...
