- Ever struggled with using ganache on a cake? In this tutorial I break down my easy way of how to perfectly ganache a cake with super smooth sides and sharp edges, without using any acrylic disks or cake cards! Ganache quantities below :)
Also, please excuse the echo during the beginning and end of the video. I just moved into a new studio and am working on reducing the echo in the background! :)

Ganache quantities for covering a 6 inch 2 layer cake (increase the quantity for larger cakes):
White chocolate ganache (3:1 ratio):
- 600g white chocolate
- 200ml of heavy cream
- Gel food colouring of choice for colouring
In the video, I used about a 1/3rd of the quantity above for the crumb coat of my cake, and 2/3rds for the outer green/blue layer.
Dark chocolate ganache (2:1 ratio):
- 800g dark chocolate (50%). The darker chocolate you use, the more cream you will need to add.
- 400ml of heavy cream

I guess gel colours are not meant for chocolate. Mine got a very weird colour when i tried to mix gel colour to my chocolatE
@@ruhinakhan9030 Use gel color for chocolate. There's several brands on the market. I use Artisan Accent.
Thanks for your nice videos. I love them.
That's insane! I've tried it yesterday with my chocolate/mascarpone cream and it worked out so good!!!
Thanks!❤️
Yay that's awesome! So glad to hear it worked - it's my favourite way to smooth cakes!! :)

Thanks mami!!
Thank you for this. It’s really helpful! I’ve subscribed.
What do you recommend for creating 3D figures such as flowers with ganache? I’ve seen a few people add powdered sugar and then whipping the ganache. Will it add to stability?
Hi there! So glad to hear the video was helpful and thank you so much for subscribing :). In terms of 3D figures like flowers, I've never actually used ganache to pipe designs like these - yes you may need to add icing sugar to the ganache to increase it's stability. Sorry I couldn't be of more help! Something I'd like to experiment with soon though :)
Thank you
The way she says mk i- 😍
yah love it
Hii
Loved your lesson
Which white chocolate can I use?
Thank you
Thanks so much for this video! Please will the ganache stay hard on the surface of the cake at room temperature? Thank you 😊
This video is excellent! How long do you let your ganache set before you cover the cake with it?
Thank you darling
Thanks for this video. So i will need my cake monday morning , im planning to do the same frosting, can I do it 2 days ahead and do the frosting to the cake the next day? How long can i refrigirate the ganache frosting ?and will I just cover it the same thing you did in this videi for 7 hours?
Love this! If I needed black would it make sense to just use the darker chocolate ?
Hi Steph! Yes that's correct :)
I love how thick your cake layers are! What kind of cake pans do you use? Thanks!
Thank you so much for all the explanation you give us ❤❤❤ can I please ask. When you put the cake in the first thin layer of ganache in refrigerator, do you cover it with film? To prevent it from sticking the whole flavours of what’s in the fridge 😅😅😅
Hi can i ask if we use gel colour will not split the ganashe?Normally I use colour on oil base for chocolate, but if dont split with gel colour i will use the gel colour
Thank u dear
Nice
I have learned alots from her
I really like the way you explain. I have a question. When you cover the cake with ganache, the ganache is at room temperature or straight from the fridge? Yours looks quite soft that's why I am asking :)
Room temp
Very helpful video. Thank you.
One tip for you all:
I noticed how when your frosting your cakes, the cake & cakeboard move around on your turntable.
Something you can use is the rubbery roll of "grippy" mat you can buy at the $ store that you put in your cupboards under your cups and glasses. Cut a small square about 5" square... it keeps your plate and cake centered on your turntable.
And its washable!
Ill try to add a photo...
Hello Chris! Glad you enjoyed the video :). Yes you're absolutely right - thank you so much for the tip! I really need to get one of those mats xD
Hey just wanted to know if you had kept ur coloured ganache in d fridge before applying on the cake or at room temperature n for how much time
Salam sis, after mixing the cream and chocolate together, do you leave it in the fridge overnight or room temperature?
i would love to see how you scrapped the cake to get that smooth finish from the start to end.
Wow. Thank you for your video. Question, can I place decor around? I was thinking of chocolate shape fruits around it? Do you have also videos about molding chocolates like it will look like pineapple, strawberry color? Thank you
You video was very informative! When using ganache on the outside and on the inside of a cake, if I want to add another non stable filling, like a strawberry compote, can I create a "dam" with the ganache to hold the compote inside? I normally work with buttercream so this technique is bit new to me! Thanks!
Glad you found it helpful! :D And yes you can absolutely do that :)
Nice video and great explanation. Does this ganache cake melts down once outside refrigerator?
Thanks Rishita! And no it shouldn't melt down :)
Thanks for the video.
For your ganache- do you use proper white chocolate (with actual cocoa butter) or compound chocolate (with vegetable oil)?
In baking you usually use real chocolate.
hi! this really helps a lot. in my place there are no gel coloring is it still okay to use liquid coloring?
Hi Nudia! Unfortunately liquid colouring could cause your ganache to split, so it's best to use gel colours :)
Hi, your videos are really very very helpful. I have learnt many things from your video. Your videos are very clear. You have described really very easy and simple way. Thankyou so much.
One question. Is this ganache recipe can be use for fondant cakes.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback Shilpa! :) And yes this can be used for fondant cakes :)
Thankyou
Thank you for this video, I am yet to try it out, but kindly if I may ask, how would you compare the white ganache and swiss meringue butter cream stability in hot weather.
Hi Anne! I would say ganache is more stable than a Swiss meringue buttercream, but both are great! The most stable out of them all though is Italian meringue buttercream - but also the hardest to make! :)
Thank you cakes by MK, noe I know better.
I loved your video! One question, what brand of chocolate did U use? It's Candy wafers chocolate or?
Amaizing and very neat!!! Can we use normal fresh milk or whipping cream? Because I don't have heavy cream
Hi Amari! As the other user has kindly mentioned, you can use whipping cream without whipping it - this is heavy cream :)
Also if i want to pipe swirls on my cake do you whip up the ganash and use that?
Pls did u need to whip the ganache before spreading it over the cake and how long did you leave it out to thicken before using it on the cake. Pls treat as urgent planning to try it for my cake on Tuesday. Thanks in anticipation
