Downtown Disney, a shopping and dining area at Disneyworld Resorts in Florida, has severed its ties to the McDonald’s restaurant once located in the complex and replaced it with BabyCakes’ Bakery, the famous shop with headquarters in New York and Los Angeles offering vegan, gluten-free and often sugar-free cupcakes, cookies, brownies and other sweets.

According to Inside the Magic, the Disneyworld BabyCakes is located at West Side and Marketplace, near the LEGO Store and T-Rex restaurant.

BabyCakes became famous after several celebrities like Pamela Anderson gave their thumbs up to owner Erin McKenna‘s creations lacking butter, milk and eggs. McKenna has since published a cookbook with the restaurant’s most popular desserts and has appeared on television shows like Martha Stewart.
