Re: Banana Cupcakes with Ganache Frosting<\/p>

These cupcakes were delicious. My co-workers loved them!!! One male co-worker claimed them as the \"best he has ever had\"! I only frosted them with regular homemade chocolate frosting!!! I will stick to these instead of banana bread!<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"04\/06\/2009 16:05","GUID":"D4B9E150ECB4DE2EC8ACE86E41CBDD6F","MemberId":136448,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"dlt58","SubmittedDate":"04\/06\/2009 16:15"},{"Comment":"

These cupcakes are delicious! I took them to work and everyone raved about them. One male co-worker said that they are the best cupcakes he has ever had! I agree and I only made regular chocolate frosting for them.<\/p>
