Well, tonight I made the devil's food cake cupcakes in honor of Halloween. It took me most of the night when I got home from work, but at least it kept me busy while my husband works a long day today. So, the cupcakes turned out well, but the frosting that was supposed to go on top of them, a chocolate ganache frosting did not work out so well. I think my problem was that I didn't chop the chocolate finely enough and I didn't heat up the heavy cream and corn syrup enough so it didn't do what it was suppose to do. Instead of making another frosting, I got lazy and decided to go to the store and buy Betty Crocker frosting. So the cupcakes really are Betty meets Martha. Martha would probably die if she knew I used regular old betty on her cupcakes, but I don't care. I was tired and I didn't want to make some other extravagant frosting. I also tried to decorate the cupcakes with little frankenstein heads made from marshmallows, green food spray and black decorating gel, but it made the cupcakes too tall and I couldn't get the lids on the tins. Oh well. Until next time.
