I want to ice a cake with chocolate ganache. I have used it on a cheese cake before but i froze the cheese cake first. This cake I'm making now is regular chocolate cake with chocolate pudding in the middle. Do i feeze the filled cake first or just cool it? I don't want the cake to soak up all the ganache and become a mess or melt the pudding in the middle? Any suggestions????

you can use ganache.... however i recommend first giving it a gasket when filling it and ice it in a thin coat of cho buttercream and make sure its cold hard not just crusted before glazing it... works way better

You sure can !!! Either let it set, then spread it on cake like any other frosting OR you can pour it over the cake, like you would on a Sacher Torte. OR let it set then make them into Truffle...

I did a half sheet cake covered with gnache. It was the first time I used gnache and loved it! I figured that if Hostess could do it, then so could I!

have fun!
