Rejoice, lactarded brethren: today we bring a great message of hope. For years you have suffered, watching as your friends put away pound after pound of Magnolia Cupcakes, while you subsist entirely on sorbets and soy-flavored cookies that taste like ashes in your mouth. No longer! We were at a party recently when a friend announced a fascinating discovery: cupcakes from Babycakes NYC that are made without "wheat, gluten, dairy, casein, eggs, soy, nuts and refined sugar". We expected anything made from coconut oil, agave nectar, date sugar, birch tree sweetener to taste like a delectable shade of ass, but these cupcakes were tasty and sweet. A little denser than your average cupcake fare, but delicious nonetheless. Check them out today: Babycakes NYC, 248 Broome Street, Manhattan.

just to clarify - i went down there last week thinking i found this awesome place that will meet my food allergy needs but i was wrong - there website advertises & as jake wrote - wheat, gluten, dairy, etc etc free - but upon choosing all the cupcakes i wanted, carrot, lemon, vanilla - i realized each cupcake was either gluten free or wheat free or dairy free, there was no combination cupcake of all those listed - false advertising i'd say...being a gluten & wheat free person, i couldnt have either..boo
'Lactarded' is an excellent word. I am entering it into my lexicon.
make your own damn cupcakes if you have so many issues. jeez, why should the world revolve around your excentricities?
Also try the vegan bakery on St. Marks between 1st and A. Cake, cookies, pizza, smoothies, etc. It's all amazement all the time.
gluten free? i might have to stop by for the ladyfriend.
Have you guys upped the edge on Gothamist? It seems like you're a little snarkier these days. Not that I mind that. I get a lot of good chuckles usually, but I'm grinning at the content a little more that usual lately. Case in point: "lactarded."
You got lactarded from me! Theif!
Dude, these guys won't be around long. The cupcakes are tiny and terrible (think dog biscuit) and highway robbery at $3 bucks a pop. You're better off going elsewhere.
WOW, ITS LIKE THAT HUH?...BACK TO MAGNOLIA!
Stick with Hostess. Chocolate or orange with squiggle on top and creme filling. Greatest stuff ever made.

mmm...birch tree sweetener.
I bought a couple of these babies a while back, thinking they'd make a tasty treat for dessert. Left em on the kitchen counter while we ate dinner, and by the time I returned the frosting had oozed off the cupcakes and puddled around them on the countertop. The kitchen wasn't even particularly warm, so I have no idea what happened. We wound up throwing them away without even tasting because it had a distinctly diarrhea-like look to it. Too revolting to eat!
Fun fact on lactose intolerance: Worldwide, lactose intolerance is actually more the norm than the exception. Wikipedia cites a 70% figure for lactose intolerance outside of the range during infancy when the critical enzyme, lactase, is still produced. Those who can metabolize lactose are technically mutants. Frankly, I would have preferred a different mutant power than mighty milk assimilation -- flight or teleportation would do wonders for the commute -- but there you go.
I love all forms of dairy, and would eat it even if it gave me gurgling bowels and explosive shits. Thankfully though, I'm one of those happy mutants so thats not an issue for me =)
I am pretty sure that everything there is vegan AND wheat or gluten free AND pretty amazing. I am addicted to the cupcakes.
Just wanted to point out to "whatever," that allergies aren't "eccentricities." They're allergies, and many doctors think there are more food allergies because foods are more engineered and more refined, just as it's clear there's more asthma because our air SUCKS. People who buy trucks that run on huge amounts of gasoline so they can imagine they're "explorers" having "adventures" in the "wild" are REALLY eccentric. Obviously manufacturing SUVs is much bigger business than baking gluten-free snacks! Please lighten up on the condescension, "whatever," and don't come crying to gothamist (nor beat yourself up for being "eccentric") if one day you yourself wake up wheezing 'cause of all that "eccentric" carbon monoxide floating around in the air...
