Whole Earth Bakery:
- a 100%-vegan establishment
- vast selection of gluten-free, oil-free, and wheat-free items
- no refined sugars used
The venue, itself, defines the meaning of hole in the wall. Don’t let that deter you, as the food is delicious. Brownies, scones, turnovers, cakes, pies… I only wish I could’ve sampled more of the fare. Luckily, I successfully smuggled a vanilla cheesecake cupcake through security. (The seitan I tried to bring back was another story; they made me empty my bag so they could scan it individually. We all know that seitan is the stuff of terrorists, right? Well, that and liquids over 4 ounces. In the end, they did let me keep the seitan. Thank you La Guardia Airport Security!)
A few days later, back in the comfort of my Texas home, I constructed a lovely little second breakfast around the flourless cheesecake cupcake:
The apple-juice-sweetened (?!) tofu cupcake was divine–not too sweet, but perfectly soft and full of flavor.
yummy, more cheesecake for breakfast ;). that bakery sounds divine–i would love to visit New York one day. sigh, all your adventures sound fabulous. haha, those security people always take my food away too!
Cheesecake for breakfast is always a good idea in my book, and how responsible of you to add other healthy components to your breakfast 😉
the cupcake looks scrumptious! but honestly i don’t know how you were able to eat vegetables along with a cheesecake cupcake and an apple. i can never eat vegetables at the same time as fruit or dessert. so kudos to you for being able to mix flavors like that!

Apple juice-sweetened cheesecake?? In cupcake form?? That sounds too good to be true!
ooh, that cupcake sounds and looks amazing! I’m glad you were able to smuggle it home 🙂
I think you should do a little recreation of that cupcake, I’d love to try it! 🙂
As for airport security – they did the puff test on my Mom the last time we went through! Yeah, it was pretty funny afterwards, but we were close to missing our flight because of it! I’m glad they let you have your goodies, though 🙂
Love,
Meg
Anything cheesecake sounds good to me!
Please recreate it! I love your creations and this sounds great. Sounds like you had a great time!
Wow, that cupcake looks spectacular!!!
Cheesecake cupcake? I’ll take a dozen. You should definitely play around and come up with a recipe.
Damnit, now I want cheesecake.
Delicious! I travel all the time and the four ounces of liquid rule is the stupidest thing ever. Le sigh.
Glad they let you keep the seitan, Katie!
The cheesecake cupcake looks and sounds absolutely amazing. I baked cupcakes and frosted them with my new tips today and thought of you! 🙂
Cheesecake cupcake?! Yum! I just bought cheesecake ice cream and I really think cheesecake is the miracle flavor. It tastes so good in every form!
