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.

This looks so much easier than I thought it would be. I love using my candy thermometer too. I really want a chocolate thermometer now so I can work on my tempering too. Ooh… chocolate caramel corn. 🙂

I LOVE caramel corn… or cracker jack 😉 I made it last spring for baseball season. It really is super easy to make and I just can’t get enough of it!

This sounds awesome. I never like store bought popcorn, but freshly made homemade kind I’m sure I’ll be all about. Yum 🙂

I would have burnt my tongue too – caramel corn is also one of my favorites!
