Babycakes NYC....west coast style




What can I say about Babycakes NYC? That it's the best gluten-free/vegan/soy-free/casein-free/ pretty-much-everything-free bakery. So what's in those baked goods? Love of course!

Babycakes won over my heart last year when I was in NYC. Well, okay I'll admit it...I pretty much was in love with this bakery even before I went. The double chocolate chip mint cookie sandwiches! EAT THEM! This past January the bakery opened a location in L.A. Well, I had to go out to California right? I mean what else would this surfer girl do?

Alrighty, here comes the pivotal question. EAST VS. WEST! Babycakes in NYC vs. Babycakes in L.A.!
Oh, blerg. They're both awesome. Pros of NYC is that it's close by Philly folk. The pros of L.A. is it's in sunny California, there's way more room and tables inside, and there's even outdoor seating.

I got my Babycakes cookbook signed by the lovely ladies in L.A. Now, I need to get back to NY to get the right side of the book signed.

Which is better? Really you have to choose for yourself! Guess you're gonna have to do some traveling.

The Endless Summer Begins

"We're loading up our woody
With our boards inside
And headin out singing our song"

-"Surfing Surfari" by the Beach Boys

Adventure! Adventure! I have so many goals, but basically they are all about having an adventure. Why have regrets? It's only one life.

I'm gonna load up the woody (a car) and head out wherever life takes me.

What will I write about?
Surfing, Sights, and Sounds of the world.

And.......posts on lady rockers, Philly musicians, Girls Rock Philly (I see a Philly theme developing) gluten-free college life, and any fleeing thought that floats through my mind.

Love,
DJ Sassafras

PS. Send me your suggestions of Philly things to write about (particularly music events going on). Or Lady Rockers to write about!
