This cooking class will make cupcakes featuring the taste of Butterbeer (from the Harry Potter books). The class will learn how to create a filling for the cupcakes as well, to sort the person eating the cupcake into a Hogwarts house. The filling will be in the color of the house (red, blue, yellow, or green). We will learn how to put the frosting on the cupcake as well using a piping bag. The class time will be broken into the following: Introduction and warm up discussion Food and Kitchen safety create cupcake batter cupcake cooking time, create frosting and ganache filling If time allows, "sorting" taste test and Harry Potter discussion

Students will create cupcakes from scratch using safe baking methods.

Supply List
Ingredient Supply List: 2 cups flour 1-1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp salt 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup dark brown sugar 3 large eggs 2-1/2 tsp vanilla 1/2 cup buttermilk 1/2 cup cream soda 1 11-oz package butterscotch chips 3/4 cup heavy cream 2 tsp butter flavoring (not butter or cooking spray) 1 lb powdered sugar food coloring (red, blue, green, yellow) * only if you want to sort the cupcakes into houses To make the ganache, you will need a double boiler. Be sure you have access to one if you want to make the fun surprise inside. This is used to heat foods slowly; if you do not have one a saucepan is fine but the effect will not be as great. A cupcake tin or cupcake foils are needed to create the cupcake shape.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I worked for 5 years in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando, FL, making Butterbeer drinks daily so I have knowledge of how the taste should be and have made these cupcakes for many events with friends and co-workers. I am also an avid Harry Potter fan. Reviews
