Cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache

Back to cupcakes again. I just love to bake cupcakes & play with the decorations.

This time I am experimenting to decorate the cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache. It is a very simple decorating technique to make the cupcakes looks gorgeous. Here is the recipes:

150 ml cream
150g chocolate
a knob of butter

Melt the chocolate & cream in a double boiler.
Double boiler meaning, heat some water on the pot, then put in a bowl in the middle of the pot to melt chocolate mix with cream & butter.

When the chocolate ganache is slightly cooled. Pour it on top of the yellow cupcakes. Decorate it with silver balls or colorful sprinkles = the pretty little cupcakes.
