Hi Genny, the ratio of ingredients used here (4 ounces of cream and 6 ounces of chocolate) makes a ganache that will set slightly firm to the touch. It's still soft like typical cupcake icing, but it sets enough so that you could cover the cupcakes gently with plastic wrap. You can adjust the consistency of the frosting by adding more or less cream. More cream will make a softer icing. Happy baking! Kye@KAF
