Baking By Bigbearswife Updated 9 Feb 2009 , 3:39am by calynmom
I am looking for a chocolate ganache recipe that will easyly drip off the sides of the cake for a cake im making for my husband. All the recipes that i have tried have either been to runny or way to stiff
i want to make him a white cake with chocolate ganache dripping off the sides for Valentines day but am running out of time to keep making bad batches of ganache
any recipes that you've used?
My favorite "dripping" chocolate is the Sarah Bernhardt recipe on this site. I'll do a search for it and post the link. I used it on several "dripping" cakes in my gallery (that sounds kind of gross but they are so yummy) and it really works great!! Here's one of them:

I'm a newbie (both to CC and to cakes) and I used the SarahB. recipe to pour over a German Chocolate Cake I made for my dad's birthday tonight, and it turned out beautifully. Simple recipe and a wonderfully finished look.

Here is a tutorial for that sort of thing.

I use a very basic recipe but my tip would be is put the chocolate pieces in a container with a spout. I found these easier to make the nice drippings down the side.
