Vegan Gluten Free Cakes and Cake Decorating Class: May 9, 2011

I was going through more pictures on my computer and found some more cakes from a cake decorating class that I taught a couple years ago.  I unfortunately did not record which flavors of cake are which, so I just have the pretty pictures of the cakes my students made.  So take a look at the cakes, all of which are vegan, gluten free, soy free, refined sugar free and mostly organic.

Just came accross some pictures of a Gluten Free Vegan Masterpieces Class I taught several years ago. About 2 1/2 years ago in fact! Thought I would share them. It was a great class - they all were! I have been blessed with awesome students at NGI!

Public Class: Vegan, Gluten Free, Soy Free Cakes & Cake Decorating



I was recently going through the thousands and thousands of food pictures on my computer after our move and discovered a bunch of photos from classes I taught before leaving NY.  This is a vegan, gluten free, soy free cake and cake decorating class I taught at NGI.  I unfortunately don't recall what each of the cakes are, but they certainly look delicious!  And a lot of the time, when I look at a particular cake, I remember the student that decorated it.  And it brings back happy memories of a great time in my life.  Enjoy the pictures of these lovely, tasty cakes. 



I remember this cake was made by an 11 year old boy taking
the class with his mother.  He has gluten allergies and his twin
sister does not, so this was a great opportunity for him to make
something that he could do for his birthday.  So nice!



And this one was made by his mother.

This is half of a couple that attended together.  I believe the class
was a gift for the lady.  And she made this cake as a Thank You.

The top of this one almost looks like a pie.  Love it!



A sample plate of all the cake flavors.  Yum!

Enjoy!

Gluten Free Private Class: Chicago

 

Before moving away from New York, I taught a private class for a family that lived in Chicago.  They had three girls that were gluten free with several other allergies, including soy, dairy, eggs, nuts and probably a couple other things I am forgetting.  It was such a great experience to be invited into somebody's home as an educator and help the family learn to prepare the dishes for one another that they have not had in so long.  The mother told me stories about how her children felt bad going to parties or get togethers because they were not able to enjoy the same snacks and treats as the other children and would feel left out.  So we were sure to make recipes for cookies, muffins, brownies loaves and other goodies that they could make and bring with them or simply have at home.  It was such a nice experience and I just wanted to share some photos from that time.  I love how the three girls were willing and happy to help during the class- not just their mom.  We made so much food and desserts it was crazy.  I think her freezer was definitely full for quite a while after that!
