Ganache is good

These are just basic vanilla cupcakes (the recipe is in an earlier post here) but with a silky smooth dark chocolate ganache on top, plus they're in leopard print cases - FAB.

Dark Chocolate Ganache

• 200g dark chocolate broken up into chunks 
• 300ml double cream 

Yep that's it! All you do is heat the milk in a pan until it's boiling - keep mixing because it'll burn on the bottom of the pan. Once the milk has just started to boil tip it over the chocolate (in a separate bowl) and mix until all the chocolate has melted, then stick it in the fridge for a few hours until it's set a little - I usually use the freezer because I am really impatient. Squash into a piping bag and pipe it over your cupcakes, decorate with whatever, I used little white chocolate stars but I think a raspberry stuck on top would look (and taste) really good.
