Ganache

- Remove from the fridge and whip with a hand mixer until it lightens in color and becomes fluffy.
- Remove the centers of the cupcakes, but be sure not to go all the way through them. Leave a bottom so your ganache doesn’t fall out.
- Add the whipped ganache into a piping bag or sandwich bag. Pipe the ganache into the center of the cupcakes. You can add a small mound above the cupcake for a surprise center of the buttercream. There should be some left over after filling all the cupcakes depend on how big of a hole you’re filling.
