I just wanted to share some wise words from Erin McKenna, founder of Baby Cakes NYC (and now L.A. and La Crescenta, California) and author of the book Baby Cakes, (which I featured on LBL’s Tentación Thursday, a few months back.) I am so psyched because I can finally have my Baby Cakes cake! I am celebrating my 40th birthday (yes, you read that right-FORTY!) this Sunday. Baby Cakes is making me a vegan chocolate cake with vanilla icing. I can’t wait to share it with my friends and family.
Here’s to having your cake and eating it, too!
Stay tuned for more on my birthday party, including my yummy (and healthy) cake!

Dr. David Reuben, author of Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Nutrition writes, “…white refined sugar-is not a food. It is a pure chemical extracted from plant sources, purer in fact than cocaine, which it resembles in many ways. Its true name is sucrose and its chemical formula is C12H22O11. It has 12 carbon atoms, 22 hydrogen atoms, 11 oxygen atoms, and absolutely nothing else to offer.”
Make sure you are checking your food labels and staying AWAY from:
- High fructose corn syrup
- Dextrose
- Glucose
- Molasses
- Sorbitol
Better choices are:
- Fruit juice or fruit
- Pure maple syrup
- Brown rice syrup
- Barley malt
- Stevia (an herb)
- Agave nectar
- Date sugar
- Honey
- Evaporated can juice
