Hi Joy. I made these cupcakes last night for a baby shower…I made them into mini cupcakes and topped half with fresh whipped cream and half with the ganache. Both turned our great! Thanks for the wonderful recipe!

Hi Joy! I’ve been wanting to make these for quite awhile…I was wondering though…do you think it would be possible to make this as a raspberry almond cake? Maybe in a loaf pan? If so, what size do you think…and for how long to bake?

I LOVE your blog

So funny a week ago my sister in law’s friend came with her for a visit. Upon leaving my three year old, when asked to come and say goodbye to our guests, said, “you can come over here and say goodbye”. Ugh. Apparently she didnt know your fail proof trick. I got to tell you the sprinkle thing is SO RIGHT ON!

These turned out very good. The only suggestion I have for anyone who hasn’t made them yet is to be conservative with the ganache as it could be overwhelming and dominate the flavor of this cupcake. I suggest drizzling it on top or putting just a dollop on top, just Joy has done in her last photo.

Thanks for the recipe!

These cupcakes ROCK! This is a recipe I’ll be making for years to come; we were so impressed. Your pecan biscuits and raspberry almond bread are fantastic too. Love your blog

Hi there Joy,

Just discovered your site when googling for choc ganache icing. Mmmm where have you been all my cooking life? Thanks for the great pics and yummy ideas. Kids ARE great aren’t they? Just had another one of my own (now boy Alex, 20 months and girl, Sophie Joy, 3 months) and can’t wait for birthday parties so I can go mad with cupcakes and home baked party food.
Thanks again,

Jeni, Australia

My husband was in the mood for cupcakes tonight, and we had fresh raspberries so I just tried these. Very yummy. I used a different frosting (he’s not a big chocolate fan) that was great too. Thanks!
