Very lovely cake; original; I love it!! How did you do the #'s? What consistensy was the ganache, did it run down the sides of the cake??

I piped the numbers with melted choc, including a 'base' which I wedged into the top of the cake and surrounded with maltesers to hide it (used edible glue to keep them in place). The ganache was pourable when I put it over the top, but didn't run far down the sides. Once the ganache has set a bit more I slapped it around the sides (didn't have to be very neat as the mosiacs covered it). For the ganache around the cake board I piped it using the icing tip (just got it and love it!)
