I love the look of all the cakes on this site with the ganache dripping down the sides. So, I decided to try it a couple weeks ago. I can't remember what recipe I used, but when I poured it on it just kind of stayed there. It didn't drip at all, even when I tried to pour it closer to the edge of the cake.

What was I doing wrong? Maybe it was too thick? Does anyone have a recipe for ganache that works well? Any tips on how to get it to drip down the sides of the cake would be great too. Thanks!!

Hi, were you trying to cover the whole cake with ganache?

Here is a link from sugarshack's blog, you need scral down to get to that topic.

HTH.

If you slowly tilt the cake at a very slight angle and rotate it at that angle, it will help the ganache run.
