For all the Vegans!
(Greg’s Desk. Bday Cupcakes)
Greg is the strict vegan here in the office. Starworks has a ritualistic birthday “moment” for all the staffers complete with sweets & song (whether we like it or not). It’s the one time we all drop our phone calls, leave our desks, and chill out. Anyway, trusty co-worker Brittany found this insanely cool spot to buy Greg’s cupcakes. I’m the girl who denies herself nothing in the buttercream/flour/sugar department — so I was pretty shocked these cupcakes had NONE of these ingredients! They passed my “Sweets Radar” with flying colors.
Babycakes avoids the usual allergens (of “delicate tummies”) — no wheat, gluten, dairy, casein, and eggs. Their secret is a sweetener called “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).

Oh…and the uniforms are designed by Wendy Mullin, a queen poker player, and of course clothing designer for her line, Built by Wendy. Her own shop is located a few blocks away.
If you are in the city, Babycakes takes orders within 48 hours of your fiesta at 212.677.5047 or go to their website Babycakes for more details.
