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. 
Great review! I’ve taken the chocolate making workshop run by the same company and really enjoyed it!
What a great review. I’ve never done a chocolate tasting tour before, but it sounds right up my alley! My boyfriend is from Boston, and we usually look for fun things to do in the city when we go back to visit his family and friends! I may suggest this for next time! 🙂
I just went on the Harvard Square Chocolate Tour last week (and wrote a review on my blog too) and had an awesome time. The South End one looks great too, I’m very jealous we didn’t get to try any chocolate martinis in Harvard Square!
Looks like fun! I can see how the price is a little high…I’ve found many of those concoctions on my own. Love the South End Buttery!
Great review, all of the chocolate treats look delicious! I looked into doing one of these tours but felt the price was a little much.

Thanks for coming on the tour. I think the review is very fair and I do love Katie and that tour. The beauty of that tour in addition to the eclectic neighborhood is that all the shops are small owner operated shops who sometimes keep different hours. Missing Blunch and their chocolate chip cookie (a Yelp favorite) Chocolee and the unbelievable chocolate beignets and the other “secret” stop that is often the tour favorite that may make change you your conclusion 🙂 You are more than welcome to come again or to another tour.
I loved this, it was sooo fun!
Oh wow…how yummy. I had never heard about these types of tours before but it looks like it would be something that we would really enjoy!
