Grocery list

.I have looked through the grocery lists for session 2  and I don't think we need much.

Their must was to make grocery lists...and they did a GREAT job!  Their should's were recipes....also well done and Monday we will create summaries of our cupcake engineering!

J and I are making our own designer cupcakes
now that we have been inspired by yours!
However, I had to redirect him to the 'healthier' section!

We do need

 one box of butter, 

buttermilk (smalllllll)

2 cartons of eggs, 

vanilla extract (large)

and Stevie or the other artificial sugar that is not Slenda. 

Wheat flour or rice flour (but only for one group...so if this is your group could you bring a small bag?)

Strawberries

Sprinkles (how are these diabetic? I'm wondering :)

Mousse Jello

I will bring the honey.

Here is the link to the google document so you can update if you are briinging anything.  You do not need to sign on...you can add or check you are bringing an item and just hit save!

Grocery List

Nothing to do with cupcakes I know!

I know...you are looking for the grocery list. I will have it updated tomorrow around noon. Tonight is Jon's birthday and today was a busy day baking with Session 1 and 3. I will post pics of their cupcakes on Monday.

Monday, my homeroom class will be holding our first CUPCAKE WARS!! Each group sat down today and thought about how to improve the texture or taste of the original cupcake and then rewrote their recipe and grocery list. I will work to combine the items on the list tonight or tomorrow morning and look at the items we already have...then make a final list for students to bring in supplies for. Don't worry...the list won't be long because we have been making mini cupcakes and still have quite a bit of ingredients left over.

A very special thanks goes out to Mrs. Schultz! She was our guide bakery supervisor and really helped both gluten-free, vegan sessions run smoothly...yes smoothly! Loudly and busy as well...but we DID IT!

Have a great weekend and I look forward to see you all on Monday.

Cupcake Wars BEGINS! Here is a look inside session 2 and request for some materials



This very bananna cupcake is topped with bananna icing
and a strawberry (so the bananna does not overpower).
This cake was designed to be low in processed sugars.



If you read this tonight,



if there is a chance you could bring in teaspoon and tablespoon measuring spoons or a plastic measuring cup that would be great. We were a little short on those today. I also did not find Xanthm gum, so if you have some, I think we will be ready. I am also going to try to stop by tonight at the health food store.

We also need... banannas, strawberries, an organge, two packages of all purpose, gluten free flour, dried lavendar and MandMs (Gabriel insists they are gluten free!) and tofu!



This cake is very low in sugar.  In fact, I think the group
did not add any!  They replaced the sugar with citrus juices,
such as lemon and orange.  For their re-design,
they are going to add some lime as well!
The frosting is a sugar free moose that is store-bought!



------------------- Session 1 and 2 ----------------------



Also low in sure, a white cake with dark chocolate filling

and dipped strawberry!
The filling is an original!



Today we used a premade box of gluten free cupcakes for the first session. It was look to learn how we would try to have 4 teams making different kinds of cupcakes without turning our classroom into a mess. The students did great! For the 2nd session we had 4 teams turn out 4 cupcakes fromt their own design. The students truly engineered their own recipes and explained the thinking behind the modifications and choices. One group even made 'from scrath' their own chocolate filling!



A yummy chocolate gluten-free and yegan with low sugar.



Here are pics of our engineered cupcakes. After tasting the groups will go back and think about how to improve the taste and/or texture of their cupcakes.



Monday session 2 will have a chance to remake their new recipe. The other two sessions will have to give it a go over the summer! Tomorrow should be a yummy Thursday!
