I would like a ganache which would be firm enough to pipe onto cupcakes. The last recipe i tried was not firm enough. Would anyone be kind enough to share a recipe please.

Thanks icon_smile.gif

If you are using dark chocolate use 2:1 ratio, that is 2 parts chocolate (600g) & one part whipping cream (300ML) make sure you do it by weight, I store it in the fridge & take it out 8-10 hrs prior decorating if its still firm pop it in the microwave until you reach the desired consistency. Also if you are using white chocolate use 3:1 ratio

Wow, those cupcakes are gorgeous! I love the brown and red combination.

I would preferably be using milk chocolate, would this change the ratio between chocolate and cream?

thanks icon_smile.gif

I too used the standard ratio, but if you need to pipe and not spread onto a cake then I would use a bit more cream. Check out Angelfood4's blog for a tutorial that really helped me with cakes http://sugarsweetcakesandtreats.blogspot.com/

Brilliant videos, thanks. Tried out the ganache today on the 2:1 ratio using milk chocolate, came out perfect.
