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.

    What an adorable idea! I don’t think I could do 12 days of cookies (I am still brain dead from NaBloPoMo!) but I look forward to getting some new recipes from your 12 days!

    Thanks everyone. I’m hoping I can actually get 12 cookies made by the end of the month. I’m going as a slow pace and got a late start so we’ll see how it goes.

    I never was a fan of peppermint flavored cookies either, but last I tried a chocolate-peppermint truffle that was wonderful. My husband is crazy for all things peppermint, so he would love these. Thanks for the festive entry, Jen! 🙂
