Vegan Cupcake class
I’ve been meaning to upload these pictures for a while. Back in February, me and a couple friends took a Vegan cupcake class from the Boston Center for Adult Education. The instructor was a vegan baker herself. There were only 6 of us in the class and apparently there are usually about 15. Our class size was great because it was so hands on. We also got to take home quite a few cupcakes that day since we had made 6 dozen!!
I don’t have the recipes of the cupcakes, but they look similar to what can be found in Vegan Cupcakes Take over The World.
We made: Blood Orange cupcakes (which came out of the oven green!) with Orange flavored buttercream. My friend Ren made these cute little oranges out of marzipan to put on top!
Then we made Chai cupcakes with a Cardamon buttercream. Some of the other girls in the class who had never piped frosting before decorated these and I think they look awesome! 
And last, but DEFINITELY not least, we made chocolate cupcakes filled with raspberry preserves and ganache and topped with ganache. Yes, we put ganache INSIDE and ON TOP of the cupcake. These were my favorite. So amazing. 
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. 
That’s the same recipe I used for grahams last summer, and I was addicted to them. Could not stop eating them! Thanks for reminding me to make them again.
I loved your themed week recipes, it’s so festive and fun. These sound sinful with the caramel chocolates. YUM!
I LOVE what you did with all the s’mores! Great idea and you’re just so creative with it all. Let me know if you ever need a taste-tester, I live right down the street!
i’ve wanted to try my own graham crackers… bummer to hear they’re not that much better than store bought! FABULOUS idea with the caramel chocolates though 🙂
Oh my lord…can I just tell you how good these look!!!!
And I LOVE smores!
these look FABULOUS, and yes smores with Reese’s cups are absolutely delicious! I just found your blog and became your follower because your recipes look divine, I will def. be trying some of them in the near future! Have a wonderful day!
I made this graham recipe too! I wish I had gotten to check if some of them were better a few days later, but mine were all gone after a weekend of camping. 😉 I felt like you did at first though, that they were good but not great, and so it is a good thing to know they improve with time. Thanks for all these recipes!
What a great week of posts – I especially love your caramel twist here and I’m super impressed you made your own graham crackers 🙂
