donuts for all!

Friday, June 3rd, 2011

finally there’s a bakery that makes sweets without common allergens that actually taste good! really, really good. babycakes whips up delicious donuts, brownies, cookies, cupcakes – you name it – that are made without wheat, gluten, dairy, casein or eggs. for those of us whose bodies can’t tolerate such things this is a really big deal!

in case you have to do any convincing of friends to go with you (which you shouldn’t) just have those in doubt read this nytimes article. it should do the trick!

stop by one of their stores in New York, Los Angeles or if you’re on vacation with the kids, they just happen to have a location at disney world in orlando, florida.

happy eating!

feeling blue ~ blue marble ice cream flagship set to close

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

all summer long, the familiar jingle sounding from the ever-present mr. softee truck acts as a kind of siren song for some. as a resident of brooklyn’s boerum hill however, blue marble’s atlantic avenue flagship has served as my treat trek of choice, temptingly located exactly midway between my subway stop and my apartment. bikini season never stood a chance!

the scoop came this morning though (via emotional roommate email with the subject line, i kid you not, “worst news in the world”) that my sweet bubble had burst and that, per brownstoner.com, the rising rents of atlantic avenue had claimed its latest victim. but the cherry on top? i just have to work a little harder to earn my dessert: blue marble’s court street locale appears to still be going strong.
