The frosting is well worth the effort to make it, although we had to switch from a hand whisk to a stand mixer (I'm not sure we would have made it if we didn't have one).<br />One question: I omitted the corn syrup from the ganache, and it didn't set up well. I'm assuming it's necessary for this recipe?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434548298509198554.post-47185790769729597842010-07-16T10:34:32.903-07:002010-07-16T10:34:32.903-07:00Made these cupcakes the other day.

So decadent, and killer delicious. That icing is my ultimate fave now, and the ganache was soo rich. My mom said they were her favorite dessert ever and that she wants them for every birthday from here on out. Anyway, they were so scrumptious and not too hard really, so thanks for the recipe!kaylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16419677135909981301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434548298509198554.post-29797283289485859402009-12-30T03:17:19.458-08:002009-12-30T03:17:19.458-08:00Nice Brain cupcakes!
