There’s all sorts of recent good news about vegan cupcakery BabyCakes, a NYC sensation since 2005. For one, they’re opening a new west coast location smack dab in the middle of the historic Bank District of Los Angeles; then, for folks who live too far from NYC or LA, there’s a new BabyCakes cookbook out on the market, and to celebrate (you can’t help but share in the enthusiasm!), they’ve produced a fun video to feature it (the book is currently available!).

The goodies are not only vegan, but also gluten-free, and most use agave rather than refined sugar.

To keep track of their LA opening and other news, check out their blog or follow them on twitter.
