Hi,
I was wondering if there is anyway to smooth Chocolate Ganache after it is already poured onto a cake? I have 1/2 sheet cake and it did not go on nearly as smoothly as I wanted (The surface was so big I had to pass my spatula over it several times.)
Does anyone know if I can use hot water and or a hot spatula the way you do with buttercream? Or will this make it worse?
Thank you!!!

If you touch it, it will most likely make it worse. You can re-pour the sides, or put on more with a spatula and comb it to make ridges.

Or, just leave it be. It will still taste great.
