Chocolate lovers beware, these cupcakes will knock your socks off! They take a little bit more effort but are definitely worth it. The presentation is enough in itself. When you bight into the cupcake and the rich chocolate ganache hits your mouth like an explosion, you'll understand what I mean. The actual cake part is relatively easy just don't over-fill the liners and they may need a few extra minutes in the oven to make sure they set up. Instead of using a paring knife to remove the centers, you can find a tool for it at a store like Bed Bath and Beyond. If you have kids, dogs, or husbands around that like to sample things before you're finished baking this is the perfect opportunity; let them sample the centers that you take out of the cake.
For the fancy toppers, I used a Pampered Chef squeeze bottle for frosting with a very fine tip, you could also use a pastry bag. Line a cookie sheet with wax paper, melt down some chocolate, and draw out whatever designs you like (with the chocolate). Pop them in the fridge for a few minutes, carefully peel them off the paper, and top the cakes for an elegant twist.
