I am making a 2 layer 9x13 cake. How difficult will it be? I have poured over a 10"rd 2 layer cake before. Will this be any harder? I make the Sara Bernhardt ganache. icon_smile.gif

Are you making the S.B. from the Alice Medrich book?

I used ganache and poured it over an 11 x 15 cake - had to do a little spreading over the sides with a spatula, but all in all had no trouble.

I have my well worn book out and that recipe is supposed to go over a chilled dessert. If you have the book on pg. 174 she states that this was made was for cold desserts. I use her mocha glaze. If you don't want the coffee flavor just use vanilla. Although that would be a lot. The moch is devine. On page 118 she uses the S.B. glaze after the cake has been buttercreamed and chilled. If you have anything in your freezer then you could test that idea on a small cake or even something the size of a brownie. Do you have your heart set on this? Because her whipt cream frosting is good too. I am going to be making some S.Bs for a party tomorrow. I think the glaze could be a little thin. I won't be for a about 1 1/2 hours. PM. me and let me know if I can help. I have more of her recipes beside what are in her books. LOL
