Baby Cakes in the River Market.  I discovered Baby Cakes on Tuesday during a photowalk. I thought to myself, “I wonder how close these are to the babycakes in New York City..” Turns out not very much. That’s not to say that Kansas City’s Baby Cakes is bad place for cupcakes. It’s not. But New York’s babycakes actually specializes in low- and no-gluten vegan cupcakes that are really delicious. Kansas City’s are full of the gluten goodness. I’m not sure why, but I prefer the New York vegan cupcakes over my home town. It’s interesting to look at the typefaces that both bakeries chose. Kansas City’s emphasizes uppercase letters to start each word while New York’s flows together in all lowercase letters. I actually prefer the handwritten style of Kansas City’s bakery over the New York one, but when it comes to the cupcakes…sorry KC… New York takes the (cup)cake. *GROAN*
