I have a four tiered wedding cake to make with chocolate drizzle. Any
helpful hints would be greatly appreciated. Do you use a ganache or just
melt chocolate fudge frosting and gently pour on edge to get drizzle effect? How do you get it to stop at the right spot? If you use a warm
chocolate, how do you keep it from melting the buttercream underneath?
I would really love to hear from those of you who have done this. ![]()
Thanks in advance!
Jsala, if you go to recipes, type in chocolate ganache then go to drop drop-down box and find frostings then click submit. Click onto the Chocolate ganache 1 submitted by cheftaz. I used this recipe and it worked great! I poured it onto buttercream and it didn't melt it either. Just be sure to let it cool down. I just kept checkingby dipping my finger in it til it was barely lukewarm. Then I took a large soup ladle and kinda spiraled it on the top slowly. Then I used my flat frosting knife, (I forget what it's called, I just had a brain fart, lol) and slowly spread it out toward the ends. It takes awhile to set and but it does set and I also dipped strawberries in it too. It will still be slightly soft to the touch. I don't believe it's suppose to harden which was fine by me. Hope this helps. It's also in my photos (so far it's the only one I've loaded, lol).
Good luck,

I used Wilton dark cocoa melting chocolate and melted it in a diposable decorator bag in the microwave, smooshing it occasionally to make sure it was even. Then I cut the tip to the size hole I wanted and squeezed...good idea to practice on wax paper to get a feel for the flow. I was able add more chocolate and melt it in the bag by tucking the open ends underneath, so I got a few uses out of the bag.
Good luck!
P.S. - I love the Ganache I recipe, too, but I wanted something that would harden to avoid any 'damage' in the transportation...
there's cakes in the gallery........try pm'ing the person who made them.....I'll see if I can find the cakes...
