ALooking for more alternatives to buttercream....any of you use whipped ganaches or whipped creams in th eir cakes?

AYes the whipped ganache works well for filling as well as borders. Could also use it to ice the cake

I usually put a reasonably thin layer of gnache in between my cakes as a filling rather than whipped gnache (maybe 3-5mm).

I prefer whipped ganache as a filling, I usually pair it with a fruit preserve like raspberry. Holds up great and tastes wonderful! Just a bit more pricey than buttercream.

AHow does whipped ganache differ from ganache once it is on cake? Is 1 better for under MMF or by itself or just as a filling?

I love the chocolate buttercream, but I also want to try alternatives. I'm going to be making my son's birthday cake this coming week and want to use ganache with chocolate cake.

TIA
