I just finished frosting these bad boys, and they look awesome! These are my favorite looking so far. The book recommends putting a quick melty ganache in a pastry bag or plastic bag to drizzle over the cupcakes. I don't have a fancy pastry bag yet, and after my last ziplock disaster, I'm afraid of trying any makeshift squeezers for a while. A third option the book suggests is just drizzling it on with a fork. I tried this, but my ganache was a bit thick and wouldn't really drizzle so much as plop. So I tried my best to make it look nice and just started raking the glob into fun rows.
The texture of these cupcakes are also perfect. They're moist without being sticky, and crisp on top. While experimenting with my crimson velveteen cupcakes yesterday, I figured out that the dial on the oven and the actual temperature are mismatched. The oven is not actually as hot as it says it is, so everything should bake for just a few minutes longer. I put these in for just 5 extra minutes and it made a world of a difference!
