I'm needing a recipe for a ganache that will give me a nice clean finish like this cake http://cakecentral.com/gallery/1488543 every recipe I've tried is to liquidy unless I'm doing something wrong.
That's your basic poured ganache. There are recipes here on CC or you could just google for some on other sites. It IS quite runny when you make it - that's why it pours on so beautifully. But once it's on the cake, it sets up. You might want to try putting it on a cake that's been refrigerated. That would probably keep it from running too far down the sides of the cake and pooling at the bottom.

yep, and make sure it is a room temp before trying this too.
I use 12 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons butter, splash of vanilla and 1 cup whipping cream.
The 2:1 (or 3:1) ratio is for the ganache that sets kind of like peanut butter. The poured kind is a different recipe (I think there's one or maybe more than one in the recipe section here). And Sorelle is, of course, right about letting it come to room temp before pouring it on!
