I have a wedding cosult on Tuesday. The bride wants yellow cake with chocolate frosting. And she wants to put a ribbon around the cake. Teal/Turquoise/topaz color. Will ganache work? I would like to have this as an option. Not just chocolate buttercream. Any suggestions? Also, what should I take to the consult? They said they don't need samples.
I've done one wedding cake, which was done in ganache (it's in my pictures). I made the ganache, let it cool and then iced/smoothed the cake, rather than pouring the ganache on warm. It worked very well, and I think you shouldn't have a problem putting a ribbon around the cake.
That sounds weird that they don't care what the cake will taste like!?!?
I would have concerns about ganache if the cake is going to be out of refridgeration for more than 3 hours and it may stick to the ribbon...and WHY go to xtra expense or hastle for someone that doesn't even want to taste the cake!
I think the ganache will look beautiful. When I met them at the bridal fair, they said the groom wants a different kind of cake. He doesn't like yellow with chocolate. They want a grooms cake that is a ball and chain. Can you do that? Yes I can. I never tell a customer no. They said the people they have been talking to said they couldn't do it. I said I could bring samples, but they said no. I think I might still bring some anyway. They might not know what ganache is. Any suggestions on things I should bring? contract, what else? I'm working on sketches tonight and tomorrow.
My wedding cake was ganache coated. It was the first wedding cake I'd ever made, so it's not that difficult.
