I made mini pumpkin cakes and wanted a smooth chocolate coating. I saw instructions in a wilton book that all is done is melt chocolate wafers and pour it over the cakes. but the chocolate never melted to a pourable consistancy and end up just frosting them, but they turned out pretty rough looking. I've done ganache on cakes before but I wanted something to harden. Any one have any experience with chocolate coatings?

I use nestle chocolate morsels (1 cup) with 1 tbsp of shortening and microwave til melted. It's pourable and it will also harden. I use this for chocolate covered strawberries or sugar cookies

Did you melt your coating over a double boiler, watching it and stirring untill all melted?
