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. 
Thanks for the shoutout, Jen! I purposely skipped this one since I figured out the location, and I had just been to Myers + Chang for that frozen food affair… but I’m glad you went and got to have more real Myers + Chang dishes! Maybe I’ll see you at the next Mystery Meet! Can’t wait to see where it is…
So glad you came out! It was great to see you!
I went to the first one but had a dinner party on Tuesday and missed this one. I love following your blog and hope we can meet at the next one!
How fun! I wish they had something like that around me.. it must be a blast meeting other foodies and eating great food
It was so nice to meet you Jen! Thanks for the blog love! I think I may have to try the recipe to your lemon blueberry ice cream bars. Yummy! Hopefully we’ll see each other again in the next one! 🙂
It was so much fun!! It was hard to chat but even so, good to be there with you and everyone else enjoying themselves and the food.
I saw you from across the table but wasn’t able to say hi! Loved the recap. Next time we definitely need to meet- Cara told me you were going to be there! Great recap. I have to write mine!
