NYC: Vegan cupcakes at Erin McKenna’s Bakery

Erin McKenna's Bakery, New York

This cute little bakery on Broome Street specializes in vegan and glutenfree temptations, and they’re doing an excellent job. Compared to other vegan places I’ve been to, you don’t feel that you’re making any sacrifices at Erin McKenna’s. As a matter of fact, the cakes here are better than at some of the non-vegan bakeries, I can think of.

I’m not a vegan, nor a vegetarian, and the reason why I ventured inside at Erin McKenna’s for the first time was just pure cake cravings. I didn’t regret that, because the banana cupcake I devoured a few minutes later was fantastic. The chocolate frosting on the top wasn’t too sweet but super creamy, and the cake itself was moist and tasted like it was straight out of the oven.

Today there are also branches of Erin McKenna’s Bakery in Orlando and LA, but the bakery on Broome Street is where it all started.

There are a few seats around the counter inside the bakery, but if the weather is nice, I would suggest that you take the cakes outside and enjoy them in the sun.

Everything down to the sprinkles is vegan. As a sweetener, they use agave and vegan sugar.

Ninja Air Fryer 4-in-1 Pro
$119.99

I’ve had really good experiences with the Ninja air fryers. They're easy to use, the quality feels solid, and the results are consistently great. I’ve had really good experiences with the Ninja air fryers. They’re easy to use, the quality feels solid, and the results are consistently great. I like that you don’t have to fuss around with settings to get good food out of it. Vegetables turn out crisp without drying out, and chicken comes out juicy with a nice golden crust. It’s one of those kitchen gadgets that actually lives up to the hype and ends up being used all the time.

Ninja NC301 CREAMi Ice Cream Maker
$199.95

The Ninja CREAMi is hands down the best ice cream maker I’ve tried. What I really like is the texture. The ice cream comes out so smooth and creamy, better than anything I’ve managed with other machines. It’s also incredibly easy to use: you prep your base, freeze it overnight, and then let the CREAMi do the rest. With several one-touch programs, you can make ice cream, sorbet, gelato, milkshakes, or even smoothie bowls, and the re-spin function lets you make your batch softer if you prefer. You can go all in with decadent gelato, or make lighter, low-sugar or dairy-free versions. You can even add your favorite mix-ins like chocolate, nuts, or fruit to make it your own. It’s a fun, reliable machine that makes experimenting with flavors at home so much more exciting.
