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.

I don’t think I’ve ever made ice cream with coconut milk. I’ll have to remember to try this next time I want to make ice cream! which is often, but I already have three flavors in my freezer right now haha.

  Wow three flavors in there at once! You should definitely try using coconut milk. It’s very creamy.

  Mine goes right back in the freezer once it gets washed so it’s always at the ready!

vanilla Beans Are In The Directions But Not The Ingredients…Should They Be Included?

  Sorry about that. There are no vanilla beans in this ice cream. I have fixed the recipe instructions to reflect that.

What a fun combo! Now, I need to decide whether to make your sugar cookie or your snickerdoodle ice cream first!
- beantownbaker — June 24th, 2013 @ 3:47 pm
  
  Oh – that’s a tough call! They’re both good.

I love sugar cookies and putting them in ice cream was a great idea so i just had to include it in my ice cream round up. Happy Fourth of July!
