When covering a cake with ganache, then with fondant, do you pour the ganache, then let it set? or do you let it thicken, then ice with spatula?
Thanks!

I make it the night before and let it thicken up, then I smooth it onto the cake.

This! If it gets too thick to work with, microwave for 30seconds at a time, stirring between.

Oh you are going to fall in love with chocolate ganache under fondant....it solves a multitude of problems like buldging and sharp edges. Take a look at these three videos from an Australian baker.
