BabyCakes Brings Vegan Cupcakes To DisneyWorld Downtown Disney

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, November 12th, 2010 in Business, Food & Drink, Restaurants.

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.

Mark Bittman has posted some behind the scenes photographs from shooting his “The Minimalist” video series. If you can get past the lamb (remember, he’s vegan until 6 PM and promotes less meat), you’ll see a lovely photo of BabyCakes vegan cupcakes in the background. BabyCakes owner Erin McKenna blogged, “Yep, that’s totally a bunch of BabyCakes all scarfed up in those boxes. Cool, cool.” McKenna also took the opportunity to highlight the controversy among vegans about Bittman’s half veggie diet.

“Now, I know some vegans out there might be critical of this but he has made an outstanding impact on so many peoples lives and because of this more and more people are opening up to thoughtful eating that I think he should win a major huge trophy.”

Kudos to her comment and a congratulations is ultimately in order for McKenna and other cupcake bakers. As Inhabitat informed, while other consumer goods are taking a hit from the economy, cupcakes are experiencing a boom.
