    Has anyone ever used ganache as a topping for cupcakes? Have you got any pics? Did you use the ganache to pipe or dip the cupcakes in?

    I've used it, I prefer it to chocolate buttercream! I use my mixer to thicken it after its been in the fridge overnight then I pipe it on top :) don't have pics as I'm on my phone but search Doobree cakes on FB and I've got some on there :)

    Hi all:flower:

    Just wanted to introduce myself and join this thread if that's ok:blush:

    I have just made and decorated my first every cake for my son's 2nd birthday today. I have been reading this thread for the last couple of weeks and am now up to about page 350, so still a way to go:haha:

    So many people on here are so talented!

    I really enjoyed making his cake and am really really proud of myself:blush:

    I did lots of research and watched utube videos but that still didn't prepare me for how hard it would be to actually do lol!

    Anyway I has well and truly got the bug now and I have actually been asked to make 2 cakes on facebook:shock::shock::shock:

    Here's some pics from today :cloud9:
