Food allergies forced Erin McKenna to swear off sweets for years—until she figured out how to bake around the problem. She started creating her own wheat- and sugar-free treats at home and soon a bakeshop was born. BabyCakes serves cookies, muffins, scones and cupcakes that are free of gluten, egg, refined sugar and dairy products. Cold-pressed coconut oil stands in for vegetable oil; agave nectar replaces sugar; and instead of eggs, McKenna uses organic fruit purees. The shop also serves coffee, tea and—if your pet is similarly afflicted—organic, allergen-free dog biscuits.
