Just wanting know how everyone gets a smooth, even frosting or ganash for under fondant i have heard lots of tricks but none seem to really work for me, i use mostly ganash under fondant.

Apologise for quite a few questions on here just have a HUGE cake coming up and im beyond freaking out!!!  

Google "Inspired by Michelle".  She has an awesome 3 part tutorial that covers this very thing.

This is also a great video on how to get very smooth ganache using the upside down method. Good luck!

You guys are legends!! im going to try both methods 

Here's the link to "Inspired by Michelle" first tutorial.  You can click through to the 2nd and 3rd from there.  

There's also a full step-by-step class at craftsy, taught by Jessica Harris. She uses the upside down frosting technique with both ganache and swiss meringue buttercream.

AReally useful these links above thanks

I meant to add (but it's not letting me edit), that at no point does the cake need to be flipped, which always scared me anyway...

Thank you all for the links.  I am so interested in wanting to use ganache on all my cakes now.

I encourage EVERYONE everyone to watch the above Linda Harden videos!! they are amazing!

I actually could not get Linda's class to work even after registering on the site...It was not listed under one of the free tutorials.

I had the same problem.  It took a while to find it.  And when I did it wouldn't play past the intro.

did you guys find it?

i posted the link for the instructions but they must have deleted it?

Thanks to all the posters in this tread for the great tips and info on ganache! I came out of my comfort zone recently and started using ganache under fondant, and would NOT go back to buttercream!!! No comparison regards to the smooth velvety texture and fantastic flavour of ganache!!!  Practice makes perfect!

That's very strange...

When I posted how to locate and watch the videos, I was replying right after auntginn... AnimalGirl91, your 2 posts after her now, weren't there??

Must be a site glitch...

In any case, I hope everyone who wanted to access the videos was able to.

I think I might have gotten it to work this time. Although I did not do anything differently than what I did before - the website just seems to actually direct me to the right video this time.
