I made a half batch trial run of these yesterday since I'm planning to make them next weekend for my father-in-law's belated birthday celebration.

- The ganache is tricky...during my first test I used bittersweet chocolate and I thought it was too bitter. Plus you really couldn't taste the whiskey. When I made these again I used semisweet chocolate and doubled the amount of whiskey. I chilled the ganache for about 15 minutes before I tried to pipe it and it was still too runny. I ended up adding some powdered sugar and used my hand mixer to thicken it a bit. The whiskey flavor still didn't come through. These cupcakes would still be really good without the ganache.
- The cake portion of the cupcakes aren't overly sweet which is good because the Baileys frosting is really rich
