yes, you can...just put it at room temp for a few minutes before using it.

That sounds yummy. How do you whip it? Do you add anything or just whip it up?

No, you don't add anything..when it's soft, just whip it to fluff it.. icon_smile.gif

What about freezing it after it's on the cake... does anyone have any experience with that? I have to do a large ganache covered cake and I like to do them a week ahead and freeze them... do you forsee any problems?

Thanks for that info... I wouldn't want that to happen to this cake. I will just frost it and freeze it, then pour the ganache the night before.

icon_lol.gif I hear that! I made it for the first time on Thursday night. My goodness, that stuff is GREAT! I poured it into a squeeze bottle, and what didn't fit was mine. I had the pan scraped so clean I almost didn't have to wash it.

Which recipe does everyone use? When you look under recipes, there are several to choose from.

Thanks
