All right so we all know i need NO excuse to make cupcakes and try new cupcake recipes. Today I actually had the perfect excuse, a couple of little princesses visit, Milla and Chloe. Milla requested any cupcake other than chocolate and Chloe demanded chocolate so i had to compromise, my way, and make both!! I made Vanilla cupcakes with pink icing topped with marshmallow flowers for Milla and Choc on Choc for Chloe.I used my Devil's food cake recipe for the base itself but i tried a new way of making my Ganache and I'm proud to say, although very rich, it is delicious and I'm willing to share!
Jacinta's Ganache, Makes 2 cups
250g Custard (i used Woolworth's select brand custard)
400g dark chocolate, chopped (please don't skimp on the quality of this one!!)
-Bring Custard to near boiling point, then stir in chocolate until the choc is melted and there are no lumps.-Allow to completely cool then whip with electric mixer. 
-Pipe on to cupcake
-Lick bowl!!(don't let the kids do it, shove a cupcake their way, IT'S ALL YOURS!!)
Have I mentioned that Milla can't possibly be my child - how could a child of mine not want chocolate cupcakes? Luckily she was more than happy to help me eat the ganache that you had left over. YUM!
