Get this book!  And discover that you can have your cake and eat it too!

Vegan baking has been taken to a new level.  No more tasteless desserts with strange textures – this book (and the little dessert shop in Manhattan with the same name) is full of kick ass sweet treats that will knock your socks off without making your doctor nervous.  No eggs, no butter, no cream, no white sugar.  Instead author/owner Erin McKenna uses healthy ingredients like flax seed meal or apple cider vinegar to make her baked goods behave as if they were made with eggs; and rice milk instead of cow’s milk for moisture without cholesterol; and agave nectar instead of high fructose corn syrup or white sugar to add sweetness without raising your blood sugar.  Amazing that something can taste so sinful – but it’s not!

Ok, give it a try, but remember… you still have to think of desserts as a special treat. Even though the baked goods from Babycakes won’t put you at risk for heart disease or diabetes you STILL need to eat your vegetables!  Fill up on whole grains, beans, vegetables and fruits first but if the occasion arises for a special treat then always choose something from the Babycakes cookbook over the normal desserts filled with harmful butter, white sugar, white flour and worse…
