Special Precautions and Tips:

• To ensure the cupcakes are evenly cooked, be sure to use a toothpick inserted into the center to check if they are cooked through before removing them from the oven.
• If the ganache frosting is too thick, add a little bit more heavy cream and beat until smooth.
• For best results, refrigerate the cupcakes for at least 30 minutes before frosting, as this will help the frosting to adhere better.
