Smooth Icing With Chocolate Ganache Frosting
Here are the step by step instructions on using chocolate ganache frosting to achieve smooth icing on cakes:
Chocolate ganache can be prepared in 2 consistencies.
Thin and liquid
- if you like this , then pour the ganache over the cake immediately after making it and let the ganache drip to the sides of your cake naturally. This gives a very smooth and shiny finish to your cake. You can also spread this smooth icing on your cake with a spatula but it will be a very thin coating and it will not hold shape.
Thick and firm
- If you like the chocolate ganache to be thickly spread on your cake, leave the ganache to set for a few hours after making it, only then smoothen it on your cake. At this stage, the icing will be thick. It is very difficult to get a smooth effect with this consistency and it is very common to use a fork to decorate the cake with basket weave design. This texture is however, good for piping designs or patterns on cakes.
