Step by Step Recipe and Tutorial for simple Microwave Chocolate Ganache.
Chocolate Ganache is undoubtedly the most DELICIOUS frosting on the planet! You’ve seen it on Cake Boss, Ace of Cakes, Planet Cake & Cupcake Wars but have you made it yet? And if you have, I bet its never been this EASY!

Drizzle it on or dip your cupcakes while the ganache is still warm, or wait for it to firm and pipe it into beautiful swirls.

This is also what we use to cover all of our wedding, birthday and sculpted novelty cakes before applying a fondant layer over the top. It will hold it’s shape and create stunning sharp edges and clean lines to make your finished cakes look and taste amazing.

    could you use milk chocolate if you can’t eat dark chocolate for a personal
    reason?

    If I wanted to make black ganache could I add some black AmeriColor gel? At
    what point would I add it? Also, I have never used ganache. How do I ice a
    cake with it? Is it just like using buttercream frosting? Thank you!

    I live in New Zealand and I have never seen anything labelled “whipping
    cream” in a supermarket or thickened cream. I assume double cream is fine
    to use instead and better than single cream?! also for the milk chocolate
    thing I prefer milk chocolate but am just wondering how strong and dark
    chocolatey does the dark chocolate ganache taste? or does it become less
    strong when mixed with the cream etc?

    Its not grains those are air bubbles! 4 minutes to melt choclate is a lot
    and you should do one minute for a start and then 30 sec for each time be
    careful not to burb it ;)
