Fabulous tutorial Georgia. Going to use chocolate ganache this weekend 🤞🏻

This is the best tutorial on ganache. You answered a question that i have google and searched for and never found the answer ... can i use ganache under buttercream! Thank you so very much for the step by step tutorial. I understand it much better! You are fantastic

Amazing explanation about ganache. This video was really very useful. Thanks a lot😘

[@loraalakus3867]

Hi Georgia, I absolutely love your tutorials! This one in particular. Will you be doing a ganache tutorial on white chocolate? I know you spoke about it in this video but like you say, the ratios of chocolate to cream differ. I'd love to hear your tips on how to colour white chocolate ganache as well as make it :)

[@vitraholassie1947]

You explain so well no need for recipe

Will you be doing a video on how to make those adorable mushrooms?

Thanks a lot ma'am , watching from HK

Love this video & full explanation using dark chocolate. I’d love a video using white chocolate ganache please as this is something I really struggle with! I find it sets too quickly on my cake & the white chocolate ganache always splits 😩

[@GeorgiasCakes]

White chocolate is 1 part cream 3 parts chocolate. It is different to use, you can look at my christmas tree cake tutorial - I use white chocolate there!

Hi hi, would dark chocolate chips (hershey brand) work for this? I'm planning on using it to cover a wedding cake before adding fondant. Thank you.

Hi, what did you use and how did it go?☺️

[@kainatkainat8747]

Amazing 😍🙌

[@ninespice]

Hey , absolutely love how you explained it all. I have always struggled to get straight standing cakes. Some or the other layer always bumps out & gives an uneven looking cake. How can I make a tall cake straight ? Any suggestions ?

[@jeanettewebb3513]

Thank you this has been so helpful! I am making my sons wedding cake this week, three tier never done one before but love to bake. I want to do a chocolate cake with ganache filling for the 8 inch middle tier, should I do a white buttercream dam on the outside edges as the cake will be a white buttercream semi naked cake on the outside ?

[@elacmreyes29em]

hi! can i put the cake covered with ganache and full luster dust in the fridge for 12hrs before pickup? or should i sit in a room temp air conditioned.. room.

[@stephen1532]

Just wondering what sound do you use in your videos I really like it thanks

[@ChefMommaFresh384]

Hello Thank you very much for sharing. Super cool but, I was wondering if you could share a white chocolate ganache recipe for frosting cake instead of butter cream. Thanks

[@houda3051]

3:1 ratio of chocolate to cream, so for example 300 grams white chocolate to 100 grams heavy cream. Use a good quality white chocolate and a cream with a high fat content! Melt them together gently in the microwave and chill it in the fridge for 15 minutes. Take it out and whip it up using a hand whisk until it becomes fluffy and whiter in colour. Be careful not to overwhip. It results in a nice white chocolate ganache that is light and whippy smooth similar to a buttercream that you can use to fill, ice and pipe with :)

[@beckymurandu3283]

Thank you can you please do a tiered dummy cake with buttercream ❤️

Hi Georgia,can u show us how to make meringues mushroom 🍄?

[@poojaaggarwal4481]

Thank you

[@arbed77]

Thanks for the video. ( Beautiful cake as well ) I want to mail a cake covered in chocolate, should I place the cake in the freezer or refrigerator before mailing. I plan on using Express mail services.

[@ababoadi4767]

Hi Georgia, thank you sharing this. Some recipes add butter, what’s the difference please?

[@miinziiiiiii]

When people have cream with low fat percentage, they add butter to increase the fat content.

[@GeorgiasCakes]

Exactly!

[@genuinecustomer7571]

So just to.confirm ..you can use ganache under fondant? Never knew that I didn't think k the two would go very well or adhere!? Is that right so white ganache with white fondant

[@sandrastathakis2275]

Thanks for the great tips, Georgia. If you love ganache and want a cake filled with and coated in ganache, can you then put Swiss Meringue buttercream on the exterior, direct onto the ganache? Will it adhere? Am worried the wall of SMBC will come away from the ganached cake.

[@matale8582]

I would love to know too if you can put buttercream on top of the ganache and how far in advance can you decorate?

[@DruishQueen]

Toda! =)

[@DruishQueen]

If I don't have any frosting for crumb coat, can I use ganache for crumb coat?

[@GeorgiasCakes]

Yes absolutely!

[@lorianeavanzi4607]

Hello Georgia, Here in the uk what kind of cream should I use for the ganache? Double cream, whipped cream?! Thank you

[@anitadhm_]

double cream

[@kiaraoconnor902]

Hi Georgia, is a 2.1 ratio OK for UK for covering a cake under fondant? Or would 3.1 be better? I was worried about it either being on the soft side or too firm🙈

[@GeorgiasCakes]

2:1 is more than enough!

[@kiaraoconnor902]

[@chantelstlouis2867]

Can you put butter cream over the top?

Dark chocolate ganach recipe please

[@mariaanastasio5325]

Thank you! To fill the layers of a cake is it best to use the 1:1 ratio or 2:1? I want to use it inside the layers for a gender reveal cake like your view where I’ll be cutting circles out of the sponges.

[@gillianbartolome8901]

Hey, Georgia :) Just wondering up to how many slices your regular 6" round cake caters hungry stomachs. Hehe. How do you slice the cake then?

[@miramoheb535]

You’d cut it vertically into slices then cut each slice into desired portion which feeds about 8-12 maybe more depending on portion size

[@miramoheb535]

If it is a short cake then just cut slices like a pizza which would feed about the same number of people

[@brucesteinberger2279]

What can I use to substitute to make ganache parave

[@yawboateng4951]

Please what do i do if temperature is high in my country and ganache keeps sweating making it difficult to cover cake with fondant Using AC now but afraid the ganache will start sweatibg since the wedding venue has no Ac Thank you

[@hamnahamid]

Does ganache stay put in heat?

[@LL-jx7sx]

For thicker ganache meaning like 100 gram chocolate and 50 gram cream? Am I right?

[@GeorgiasCakes]

Yes ☺️

[@naomiwilson9091]

Every time i make ganache for dripping - equal parts choc and double cream - the ganache is always too thick :( i use the same 54% callebaut choc and double cream from the supermarket.. always have to add more cream to get the right drip consistency but then the colour changes to light brown. Is there anything I'm doing wrong?!

[@GeorgiasCakes]

Try with whipping cream 1:1 it should work better!

[@sheemahussain2249]

Yes same for me when I once used double cream. So as Georgia suggested try using whipping cream. I did that the second time and the ganache was the perfect drip consistency.

[@naomiwilson9091]

Thank you so much! Will definitely try that

[@Bullitt2410]

Great information!!! Offset spatula scraping in the ganache bowl with was major cringe. Nails on chalkboard 😭
