Can I just ask....
For a bottom cake of 2 layers I have decided to do an orange cake filled with chocolate ganache filling (saw the idea on CC) Can I just ask....
I will be icing this cake with a white fondant so don't want any bleeding of the chocolate onto the icing.... will it be better to build a dam with buttercream (the same buttercream I crumb coat with?) to contain the ganache? sorry if this is a daft question but I am very much a novice and it's a special cake for my daughter (who has Aspergers) 13th Birthday!
Again any advice greatly recieved!

I always do a BC dam when I fill with ganache. Sounds yummy!

Just a question did you get the ganache receipe on CC or do you have a diff one i havent made a cake yet using ganache but would like to, do you use it just for filling or can you use it all over your cakes
