Hi Its my first time making ganache and i need to make white chocolate ganache.  im practicing with a 4 oz bar of white chocolate.  Im confused as to how much cream I should put.  I know its 3:1 ratio but i just want to be sure.  for 4 oz white chocolate what should i measure the cream to be? 

Also can I use the same recipe to pipe on cupcakes AND cover a cake for fondant? or are there 2 different recipes for that.

Thanks!

Yes, the ratio depends on what you want to do with it.  More cream for a thinner consistency.  Also consistency is dependent on type of chocolate...white, milk, dark.  I do not know enough to give you a ratio, but I covered a cake in ganache recently and a quick google search was helpful

I've made quite a lot of white chocolate ganache and I use a 4 to 1 ratio because I want it as strong and sturdy as possible.  I do warm it slightly in the microwave for ease of spreading.  If you used the 4 to 1 ratio with four ounces of white chocolate, you would use 1/8 cup of cream.  Since there is such a small amount of cream, you should pre-soften the chocolate in the microwave for a few seconds.
