I thought chocolate ganache would be pipeable for the top of a cupcake but mine turned out too runny! I used the most popular recipe for chocolate ganache here in recipes on CC but it's either quite hard in the fridge or too soft to pipe in room temperature. I want to make a mocha chocolate ganache that will work a top a cupcake.

Have you tried whipping it - I find that's the best option for topping cupcakes

yes, or with a hand held mixer, both work fine

Thanks! Actually it did seem to thicken up to more of a whipped texture which is what I was certainly going for. Not sure why I didn't think of just doing that. I have some Dream Whip in it so I thought I'd get that but didn't realize I really do have to "whip" it - doh!
