Once upon a time
In fair New York City,
I came upon a shop
That looked very pretty.
I might have passed by,
But I was alone.
Not listening to music,
Nor clutching my phone.
I have to admit,
I felt in my tummy
A feeling most empty
Except for the rumbling.
So inside I went
For my hunger to break.
I’m so glad I did;
That shop was Babycakes!
Gluten-free, sugar-free,
Whole grains galore!
When I saw all these treats,
My jaw hit the floor!
Cookies and cupcakes
and coffee and tea;
I couldn’t decide!
What would it be?
Vanilla, red velvet,
Or chocolate, why not?
If you don’t want the cake,
Have a frosting shot!
Overwhelmed with the choices,
Forget the cookies.
Not even the cakes;
I wanted brownies!
Spelt flour, agave,
Rich chocolate so nifty!
But what could be better?
The price was $1.50!
With each little bite
I was so glad I’d eaten.
With good food like this,
Who cares that it’s vegan?

Very good, you literary diva.
I want to go to Babycakes so badly!!!
I'm pretty sure Babycakes should purchase that poem from you!
Yay, isn't it the greatest??? I seriously pine for Babycakes at least once a week!
oh that looks good.
My friend and I were just talking about going to Babycakes the other day! With this rave review, we might have to go soon!
Loved it! ;o)
LOL Diana.
yumm! love me some brownies!
Love it and I am so drooling ... may be time for another chocolate fix :-)
I agree with Katherine! Love that little poem, it should be framed and placed at a strategic spot in the bakery.
That brownie looks so alluring with that gob of ganache !
LOL such a great poem!! i agree with the commentors above me, babycakes should pay you for that poem!
Nice poem. I wish my brain cells worked that well still. I have a 3 yr old w/ strep throat, that's my excuse :)
Seriously have heard nothin but lovin for the place. I need it.
Commenting on my site. hopefully it resolves for you. If it persists, LMK. Not that i can fix it b/c at least i know.

Ah!!! When I was in NYC last year, I ran out of time to get to Babycakes & I have been kicking myself ever since. I will DEFINITELY be stopping in during my next trip.
