Cupcake with chocolate ganache spider web design

Last week, i attended cupcake decorating classes. The teacher taught us simple tricks and design techniques with the use of chocolate ganache.

The toothpick made all the designs possible. From feather, spiderwebs and hearts.

It's super duper easy and fun as well.

All you need is a cupcake, chocolate ganache and some toothpicks.

1. dip your cupcake in the chocolate ganache mixture.

2. With the use of a piping bag, pipe a scroll into your cupcake, you may want to use white ganache in able

for your decoration to be visible. 

3. pipe a scroll onto your cupcake. Point your toothpick at the center of the scroll and drag it down till the edge of the cupcake. Repeat this process.

Note: You made need to do this before the ganache dries out.

Smart Tip: My Decorating teacher always do this trick whenever we use chocolate ganache. Since ganache dries out easily, she usually fill her metal kettle with 2 cups of water and she let's it boil. While the kettle boils in the stove she puts her piping bag *with ganache* on top of it. The warm temperature keeps the ganache wet and ready for decorating. 

Bake and Shake,
