Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a muffin tin with paper cups.
In a bowl, combine all the ingredients listed for the cupcakes. Using an electric mixer or whisk, combine to form a smooth mixture.
Using an ice-cream scoop or spoon, fill the cupcake pan with the batter. Bake for 25 minutes. Once baked, let the cupcakes cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
While the cupcakes are cooling, for the ganache, add the whipping cream and milk chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1-minute intervals, mixing after every minute until combined.
Refrigerate the ganache mixture for 30 minutes (or until it is cold and thick). Once cool, remove it from the refrigerator and, using an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, mix until it reaches a thick, creamy consistency.
Using either a spoon or a spatula, spread the ganache onto the cupcakes and sprinkle the chocolate cookie crumbs. Then, add the mint sprigs and edible flowers.
Finally, insert the prepared cupcakes into miniature terracotta pots.
