Some cupcakes I made in December






I was looking through my camera today and I found these pictures of some cupcakes I made in December. I'm looking forward to February so I can get creative with some Valentine's Day cupcakes! I'm thinking lots of red velvet cakes with cream cheese frosting.

Ganache with panache



Have you ever had an orgasm from eating chocolate? Try this recipe and you might.

Today I made my regular Devil's Food cupcakes but I switched up the frosting. Normally I use my own recipes but today I thought I would try out a recipe for ganache that I saw on the Martha Stewart website. It's called Mrs. Milman's Chocolate Frosting and it's amazing. I requires a lot of time and patience but in the end, it's worth it. The recipes states that the frosting needs to be cooled in the fridge for 2 hours; I had to leave it in overnight. Mine became runny and separated and at one point I almost threw it away but I'm glad I didn't. Stick with it, don't cut corners on the stirring time and leave it in the refrigerator overnight and you'll have yourself an orgasm-inducing chocolate ganache.
