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 love the idea of a week of family favorites! Can’t wait to see them all. And you started off with a bang with this lovely pie. I love the tip about the flour too – I will definitely remember that one.

    I just made a fabulous pecan pie and this one looks great as well! For my crust I actually had no trouble taking it out. I didn’t butter or flour it or anything extra. It was a no roll crust from Joy the Baker and tasted fabulous!

    That pie looks scrumptious! We used to have one every year at Thanksgiving dinner, but somehow no one made one this year – it was so sad.
