Wednesday Eric and I found ourselves stranded in Orlando, staying across from Downtown Disney.  Neither of us were too excited as we’re not big Disney people but suddenly I remember there is a new babycakes there!  We wandered around to check everything out, but really I was looking for babycakes.  I found it rather annoying that none of the maps indicated where it is.  Thank goodness for my blackberry which helped me locate it.  I was beyond excited to get some yummy vegan treats.  I got the chocolate chip brownie cupcake top with vanilla frosting to eat on the spot (despite being overly full from my massive lunch-there’s ALWAYS room for cupcakes!).  I can’t tell you how heavenly that was.  It was equal parts cake and frosting, so for a frosting lover it was divine.  I also grabbed two cookie sandwiches for Eric and I for later, but who was I kidding, Eric doesn’t like sweets so really they would both be for me.  I’m not so good at having food (especially treats) so close to me without eating them.  After a few hours of carting around those sandwiches I broke down and ate one – two chocolate chip cookies filled with creamy pink frosting – YUM!  Of course the day moved on and I did my very best not to eat that second sandwich.  I was sure never to leave it in the car to melt so I kept it in my handbag hoping for the best on a 75 degree day.  Once we got to the airport I reached in my bag only to find a very greasy brown paper bag.  It had melted after all.  So, I pulled that baby out and savored every goey bit of deliciousness.  Mind you, at that point there really wasn’t any pink frosting left – it has seriously melted away and into the cookie, yet that didn’t stop me from finishing it off.  I’m not at all into messy foods and had I been at home I’d have eaten it with a fork but I didn’t have a choice in the airport – luckily I had some wet wipes in my bag!

I’ve now been to all three babycakes!  That does make me sound a bit nuts I suppose!  So far the only thing I haven’t liked are the red velvet cupcakes – everything else is wonderful!!!

So, if you’re headed for Disney and are in search of some amazing vegan or gluten free goodies, locate the building marked Fresh A Peel and just inside the door near the chicken restaurant you’ll find babycakes.
