Hi im new to the forum ![]()
im making a two tier chocolate ganache covered cake, what im unsure of is once i have covered the bottom tier of the cake in ganache how do i put the next tier on? i was going to use a cake board for the second tier but do you put a cakeboard on top of ganache? or does ganache not set when chilled and make a huge mess?
sorry im rambling lol, i would appreciate any advice as im making it on christmas day for my cousins birthday on boxing day
thankyou ![]()
Cover them in the ganache separately, like you are making two different cakes. Dowel your bottom cake to support the next tier. I like to trace the next tier onto some wax paper, then cut it out so I can place it on top of the bottom tier as a guide to where my dowels should go! just gently lift and place you next tier on top of the bottom! Do you understand how I am explaining this or does it sound like I am rambling?!? LOL
Yea it should be fine. Let it set before you try moving them around, I usually put mine in the fridge for at least 15 mins! Just don't let it get too hot, which being the middle of winter, I don't think you have to worry about melting too much!
