babycakes is a bakery in nyc...

i tried their cupcakes.

in general, i found the texture of the cake part to be quite good-- much less dense than a lot of gluten-free cakes. better than happy happy happy (which closed down). the frosting, however, was not very good. these cupcakes could be awesome w/this cake and magnolia/buttercup bakery frosting!

of the three i tried,

i liked the vanilla the best,

the carrot the second best,

and i didn't really like the chocolate one at all (too cocoa-y or something).

anyone else try this place???

I tried it. Had a vanilla and chocolate cup cake. Both were good I thought. I liked the frosting but it does have a slightly different taste--soy maybe? Can't totally remember now. I thought the chocolate chip cookies were great!

I was really looking forward to trying these cupcakes and was extremely disappointed when I eventually did. The icing was disgusting...it didn't taste like icing. And considering icing is usually one of the easier things to find that is "gluten free," I wasn't impressed. Also, I thought the cupcake was really dense. Also, I had a really bad stomachache afterwards, which I was surprised since there was nothing that I am allergic/intolerance to in the cupcakes.

i liked babycakes but did not LOVE it. i felt like i only really liked it b/c i hadnt had cupcakes in a long time. I think Risotteria's desserts are SO much better-- everything i have had there for dessert has been sensational- and my non-celiac friends all agree.

OMG, I had an incredible strawberry shortcake at Risotteria a few weeks ago. It was just short of me licking the plate :D

Stef - How's everything going? Are you in Westchester now?

AMAZING right? I couldve ordered another-- except we got the very last one they had... I have never had a bad dessert there though, i dont know what they put in their food, but its like crack! The baker there is opening up a bakery in NYC sometime in the next year or so, i cant wait!

Jillian- I am in westchester- bar was last week and i am now just recovering and relaxing...we must do dinner!

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      A lot to think about here. Does anyone have any recommendations for third party laboratories that will do full panel celiac screens private pay in the U.S.?
