My third order was this week, for my friend Emily T. She wanted a dozen cupcakes for her Dad who apparently must absolutely adore chocolate because Emily requested chocolate cupcakes, with chocolate frosting and for half to be filled with even more chocolate, making it triple decadence. So, due to this request I came up with a general chocolate cupcake recipe and topped them with a rich chocolate cream cheese frosting and filled the 6 with thickened chocolate ganache. I had never made ganache before and it was really simple to my surprise! Then I curled some pretty chocolate shavings to decorate. Yum!
Fun Fact: Ganache supposedly got its name when a worker in a French kitchen accidentally dropped the chocolate into a bowl of heavy cream and the chef called him ganache which apparently is "idiot" or "fool" in French.
If you like chocolate like crazy, you'd love these
