Chocolate Ganache Cupcakes

A couple of days back I found myself craving chocolate (again...!!!). But I had been good the past couple of weeks ( I'm trying to diet ha ha ha ha) and not given in to any dessert cravings...except malpuas....but I guess that's ok right? One is supposed to eat malpuas during Ramzaan. And I also wanted an excuse to use these-

 So I made me some super chocolatey cupcakes with a ganache frosting. And since that was not enough I also piped some ganache into the centre of the cupcake. And finally topped them with my fav new sprinkles.

I used a recipe from Cupcake Bakeshop. I've tried this recipe a few times before and each time it turns out like a dream. Pls try it if you haven't already :)

Cupcake Wonderland

I’ve stepped into cupcake wonderland!! And I never wanna leave!!! I made cupcakes for the first time and I don’t think I wanna make anything else again!!!

I’ve looked adoringly at cupcakes many a times, wondering when I’d make my first batch. I get excited just at the thought of them! Couldn’t wait to decorate these lil babies in a rainbow of colors and adorable sprinkles!! So this week I finally got around to making them. I knew I wanted chocolate (no surprises there!) with a blue colored frosting. I used a simple Devil’s Food Cupcake recipe from Cupcake Bakeshop but used a different frosting. I thought the blue frosting would be great with a hint of peppermint. I don’t know why I thought that making cupcakes would be a tedious thing, in fact they were really quick and I don’t think I took more than an hour. Or maybe I got so lost in my wonderland that I didn’t notice time flying by...
