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. 
oh man, I wish I had known about this!
Even with the long lines, it seemed like a great time and I’m sorry I missed it!
I love that lobster sugar cookie! I’m a vegetarian and I absolutely PINE for lobster sometimes. Sad. Looks like a fun event! – Aimee
oooh i wish we had one of these in cincy! lobster in so many different forms.. my mouth is watering thinking about it 🙂
I am impressed you waited in all the lines and got to taste everything. Looks like a fun day!
I really wanted to go, but couldn’t justify going to yet another beer fest and Ben doesn’t eat anything that comes from water. I went to their Bacon and Beer fest and I think the tickets were a great idea–the B@B fest ran out of food in like an hour and a half. Did they still do the ticketing with lines for last names? I thought that was odd. Love what @eatboston is trying to do, though!
