Okay about a week ago I posted a question about coloring ganache.
I made a trial cake for an order due on December 3rd.

Well You can color it. I just put it in the cream after I heated it.

It took me awhile to get this right. I finally found a place on the web that had a recipe for it. You have to use more white chocolate that regular chocolate. It is not the 1:1 ratio like regular ganache.

It is:

17 ozs good quality white chocolate
8 ozs heavy cream
2 to 3 tsp butter, plus more if needed.

Here is the cake I covered. German Chocolate with Coconut/pecan filling. I was afraid the white chocolate ganache and the german chocolate with the filling would not go together. But it tasted good together.
