I am very new to fondant - how do i use ganache under fondant? 

I read that i have to let the ganache sit before putting it on the cake. How long?

How soon can i cover it with fondant after I put the ganache on the cake? 

Thank you!

Looks great!

When you cut into it..is it a smooth cut? Or do you have to apply pressure?

Just wondering to try it for my daughters birthday...bu i dont want her to struggle to cut the first piece of cake ;-)

the fondant stayed soft, it was pretty easy to cut, but you need a little more pressure than with just buttercream

AAwww, that's adorable! it's hard to ever go back to buttercream once you work with ganache. I wish I could use it every time. :-(

Thanks - yes, in two weeks my boys will have their 3rd birthday party, and want to make a Thomas train cake, so this was the practice cake for that. :) I figured if it turned out ugly, no one would see it anyway. :)
