Bunnie Cakes (2322 NE Second Ave., Miami, 786- 268-9790) is another homegrown success story, this one born out of necessity. Founder Mariana Cortez’s son needed a dairy-and gluten free birthday cake, but no local bakers had any. So Cortez took matters into her own kitchen, modifying her grandmother’s cake recipes to cook up delicious treats free of common allergens. Now, her kitschy Wynwood storefront sells her bite-size cupcakes, cookies, brownies, doughnuts, cakes, and even items like empanadas and cacao chia pudding, which she makes without soy, gluten, or peanuts. “Our most popular flavors are guava, passion fruit, and dulce no leche,” Cortez says. “These are flavors I grew up with; each of them takes me to my infancy. I just adapted them to make them vegan and vegan gluten-free so everyone can enjoy them.”
