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.

Great minds! That’s exactly what came to mind for me too! They look amazing! I might make them anyway (although that means I have to figure something else out for the contest!) They sound AMAZING!

This is brilliant, who’d of thunk it!
They look amazing too, I’m making a dash for the nearest CVS to pick up a few eggs.

I find it very amusing that you had a “third try” 🙂

I too get determined and will proceed to make the same recipe over and over until I get it right. Sometimes I even dream about an imperfect recipe and can’t wait till morning to give it another try 🙂

Perseverance pays off!
