Tricks On Smoothing Whipped Chocolate Ganache
Decorating By didavista Updated 29 Apr 2010 , 1:28pm by emrldsky
Any input on smoothing whipped chocolate ganache on a sheet cake would be greatly appreciated. I usually use a crusting buttercream, so I am kind of lost here.....
you could try using a palette knife or scrapper dipped in hot water and dried off, the warmth of the knife will help to smooth the ganache. good luck

Love this trick! I generally don't even dry it off, just give it a bit of a shake, and it works great.
thanks for the replies...I'll try finding that on flickr...Has anyone else found the hot spatula method for this leaves the chocolate discolored in spots.
Rylan has an awesome pictorial on flickr.... she is amazing with ganache...
hth
I thought Rylan was a "he"? Am I wrong? Anyone?

yes, he's a he and not a she
Are you sure that's Rylan that your talking about being a kid or are you talking about that 16 year old that lives in AZ and has a bakery? Rylan lives in Las Vegas. I think he's kind of young (Rylan) but no kid.
Anyone?
Here is a step by step guide I found on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/34971289@N06/sets/72157622644499988/
Yes, sometimes you will get that discolored spots. I believe they call that blooming (correct me if I am wrong).
Hehe, yes, I am a he. I am also in my 20's.
Isn't blooming generally from moisture? When JeepGirl said she just shakes it off, my first thought was blooming and possible seizing of the chocolate.
Hmmm, blooming may have different factors I believe (not very sure). Here is a link of some possibilities: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocolate_bloom

I was right
20's for a guy is a kid to me! lol
And my point about his age was that it's all that more impressive what he does with cakes, because we know for SURE that he hasn't been at it for 20 years and just "claiming" he only started a little while ago!! lol
I agree. Anyone in their 20's is a kid to me as well. He is one talented young man.
That explains a lot here at work...the younger "kids" (I'm 27) that have been working here for a few years are still being treated a bit like new hires by those who are eligible for retirement. Maybe I should lie about my age and tell people I'm in my 30s?
Anyway, to the OP, that tutorial is almost identical to what Sharon Zambito does in her Topsy Turvy video. If you don't have it, you should put it (and her others) on your wishlist.
Good luck!

JUst because you are in your 20's shouldn't mean that your co-workers should treat you like a "new hire". I've had several supervisors that were younger than me .

Not to steal the thread, but some do, some don't. A lot of it has to do with the fact that I'm kind of bubbly, short, "cute" (their words, not mine), and I actually look much younger than 27 (23 or so). And I work for a university, so I have the appearance of a student (even though I don't dress like one). *shrug*
Oh well. Helps in some ways, hinders in others.
