These cupcakes were a disaster! The batter was too runny and the cupcakes didn't rise properly. I ended up throwing them away.

The cupcakes were easy to make and turned out beautifully. However, I found the ganache to be a bit too thick. Next time, I will add a little more cream.

These cupcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I would recommend using a semisweet chocolate instead of a milk chocolate.

I'm not a big fan of cherries, but I loved these cupcakes. The chocolate and cherry flavors were perfectly balanced.

The cupcakes were moist and fluffy, and the chocolate ganache was rich and decadent. The cherries added a nice tartness that balanced out the sweetness of the chocolate.
