Happy Tails Cooking Class 12/4/10

daniele — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 16:01:12 +0000

It was our pleasure to be a part of The Happy Tails Dog Rescue opening events. We enjoyed cooking and EATING:) with all the great people and puppies who came out to support Stephanie, Peter and Jen in their efforts to save lives. The baking class was not only fun, but a HUGE success because Norman (a boxer) got a happy and safe home!

Surf Rider and Sierra Club had education booths were people could join and donate to protect our planet and Uppercrust Catering gave out yummy scones at table next to CupcakeChef. We sampled Vanilla Bean, Chai and our newest flavor SARAH'S Spring(Punch cupcakes with tangerine frosting and edible pansies). A great time was had by all.

Cupcake chef debuts Alice in Wonderland cupcakes
> Posted by DAve DiPino on March 2, 2010 at 9:21 AM

The Cupcake Chef, Delray Beach resident Ursula Rafer, has created a new line of cupcakes in conjunction with the release of the film “Alice in Wonderland” directed by Tim Burton.

Rafer, a self-trained chef from Louisiana, will be making available gluten-free natural sugar cupcakes like the Cheshire Cherry Berry Cupcake, the White Chocolate Rabbit Cupcake, Apple Blueberry Dumpling Alice Cupcake, the Mad Hatter Marshmallow Cupcake and the Wondermelon Wonderland Cupcake.

“When I say natural sugar, that’s sugar from the fruits I’m using,” Rafer said.

Rafer bakes the cupcakes at Miele Gallery at 7680 N. Federal Highway in Boca Raton. She teaches cooking classes when not making the gluten-free, vegan desserts, all made with fruit and no-added sugar. Rafer said she started making the cupcakes for her husband.

“I would try them out on him. He really liked them. If he had a puzzled look on his face I’d just add more fruit or natural taste,” Rafer said, and added that she also used tofu in some of the creations.

“Flax seeds, hazelnut flour, tofu, soy and fresh fruit, those are all items I used.”

She said the cupcakes are perfect for bridal showers, events of any size or just to have around the home.

They cost between $18 and $36 a dozen.
