Calling all Boston bakers and dessert lovers
I read about this opportunity on a fellow Daring Baker’s blog – Butta Buns. This is a great opportunity to either bake some goodies or just eat some goodies for a good cause. Check out Jaye’s post for more information.
If you love desserts and would like to help several non-profit Asian-American organizations in the Boston area you could:
1) Contribute your own homemade desserts (see details listed below).
2) Attend and sample all the goodies on display. Go to http://aarw.org/dessert2008/ to purchase tickets online. When it asks which organization you’re from, let them know it was a BKA’er who sent you.
3) Spread the word, do a cut and paste job of this post and publish it to your own blog or email it to anybody you know who may be interested.If you’re able to contribute your own baked goods, please contact Truc Lai at truc.lai@bnymellon.com
Many Thanks,
Jaye aka Butta Buns
Oh and by the way, I plan on attending is some way. I’m leaning towards baking because as you all know, I love to bake! Any suggestions for what I should make?
I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
Mmmmm I love one dish cupcakes!

Those cupcakes look delish! Can you tell me more about the “dipping in ganache” technique? Does the ganache need to be a certain consistency first?
I have seen some maple cheesecake around the blogs, maybe that would be awesome use for the sugar? Or to top maple sugar cookies 🙂
I made a seriously awesome maple mousse cake to go with Christmas dinner this year and it used maple sugar. It was one of the best desserts I’ve ever eaten. The link to the post is: http://joanne-eatswellwithothers.blogspot.com/2010/01/frozen-maple-mousse-pie-with-chocolate.html.
Go Butler!! I think I’m going to use your “go to” cupcake recipe to make some Final Four treats for the office Friday
Wow that maple syrup event looks really cool, I wish I had known about it- it looks like they only do it once a year!
Carly – I dipped the cupcakes in the ganache while it was still very liquidy. I did it a few minutes after making the ganache and then let it set up on the cupcakes. Hope that helps.
Jen, the maple syrup experience sounds like so much fun and I’ve always wanted to do it! I wonder if it’s too late this year.
Those cupcakes look so pretty. Can you tell me what kind of liners you’re using? They stay so nice and bright.
ooo I love sugar houses!!! The tastings are always the best 🙂
Lila, I get the liners online. Here is the link for the colored ones, and I also get brown liners as well.
The cupcakes look beautiful and festive!! I love real maple syrup!
I should have a birthday more often. So good…
