By chance, would you be willing to post the recipe for the cupcakes and frosting?

I am addicted to Godiva. I work in a mall, and helped them out for Valentine's. Soooooo yummy!!

For the batter I just use Pillsbury dark chocolate mix bc it's easier when you have to make alot and for the ganache I use a recipe from an old Hershey's chocolate cookbook my mom has from like the 70's lol and its actully on thier website! Its originally for a torte but oh well. I use Godiva liquor for the creme de coco but any kind of chocolate liquor will do.

CHOCOLATE GANACHE GLAZE
1 HERSHEY'S SPECIAL DARK Chocolate Bar (7 oz.), broken
into pieces
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon butter
1-1/2 teaspoons creme de cacao (chocolate-flavored liqueur) or
water

Combine chocolate bar pieces, whipping cream and butter in medium saucepan; cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Stir in creme de cacao. Cool to lukewarm (glaze will be slightly thickened). About 1 cup.

Here is the recipe for the sugar cookies, I found it in a Martha Stewart magazine lol and for the frosting i just used regular old store bought

the only thing is that it was hard to roll out bc your not really supose to, it would just get really soft fast. so I just rolled it out once and cut some shapes then stuck it in the freezer for a few minutes to harden it up again. It just took a while longer, thats all but they were worth it!
