I've been trying to perfect my cupcake icing skills recently and this is my latest attempt- they're Vanilla Bean Cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache filling and Buttercream Icing. I was trying to go for the rose effect on the top- I got the consistency just right; but the cupcakes were too curved so they didn't turn out quite perfect.
I used this recipe for the cupcakes; and when they were cool I cut cones from the centre and poured ganache in (1 part cream to two parts dark chocolate; heated on low till smooth) then cut the flesh off the cone and put the lid back on. Then I made buttercream icing with butter, powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste and cream and put it in the freezer for ten minutes till it was firm for piping.
