Babycakes

Best of Cleveland 2017: Baby Items

Three baby stores with clothes and toys that will make you forget about all those late nights.

Babycakes

Forget that Babies R Us registry and get your favorite expectant mother a gift you know no one else will find. At Babycakes, new mother and owner Kate Fortney Horne offers fun and creative gifts for parents while making sure everything is BPA-free. She stocks her Rocky River store with items such as Kyte Baby bamboo onesies ($26) and dishwasher-friendly bibs ($15.50). “Everything I buy for Babycakes is something that I would be comfortable letting my son use,” Horne says. “It just has to be the best.” 19315 Detroit Road, Rocky River, 216-767-5209, babycakeschildrensboutique.com

Baby Munch

BabyMunch

Babies can be picky eaters, but they should be healthy eaters too. Le’Anna Miller wanted to make food for her daughter that had no artificial flavors, sweeteners or preservatives. In 2016, she started BabyMunch, selling small batches of her all-natural, blended baby food online ($20 for box of eight). Her Gimme A Beet is made with beets, cinnamon and mangos, while Applelini mixes  apples, zucchini and cinnamon. “There’s nothing better than real nutrition from real food,” she says. “It is about creating healthy lifestyles and letting children be excited to explore fresh fruits and vegetables.” babymunch.com

Honey Bee Bakery

Honey Bee Bakery

Yes, your 1-year-old is going to smear birthday cake all over. But you still want a good-looking, great-tasting cake. That’s where Keni Scherbinski of Honey Bee Bakery in Medina comes in. She personalizes smash cakes ($18) with themes such as Where The Wild Things Are in flavors such as vanilla, chocolate and carrot all with her house-made buttercream frosting. “It’s their first birthday and their first taste of cake,” she says. “They can make a mess and get cute pictures taken and make great memories.” 23 Public Square, Medina, 330-725-0912, honeybeebakerymedina.com
