Vegan Cupcake class

Thursday, March 20, 2008

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.

These look SO good. I was actually looking for s’mores _____ because I wanted to bake something with chocolate and marshmallows. These may be just the thing!

So freakin cute, I love them, so would my boys. Just today, Liam was picking up sticks in the yard and asked if he could start a fire so that he could make smores. I kid you not. He is 5. Where do they get these ideas?

Adorable Jen! Thanks so much!

These are so wrong, but so right! That batch would be seriously unsafe in my house. They’d have to be given away immediately or I’d risk eating every last one and never fitting in my pants again.

These will be perfect for an upcoming family vacation. We’re not camping, but are renting a house with a fire pit and we usually spend every night out there making s’mores. I can easily make the cupcakes beforehand and then we can roast the marshmallows outside. It will be something cute and different. Thanks for this recipe!!!
