Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A
ganache to rich
hi all,
ive only used ganache 4 times and the feed back i get is that its really nice but very rich or to chocolaty
i use callebaut chocolate white and jam for the filling and dark round the outside with a butter cake or just a normal white sponge, the tutorials i watch paul puts his ganache on really thick and if theres a gap its”dont worry thats the beauty of ganache ” surely his cakes must be on the rich side with the chocolate cake, choc filling and all that choc on the outside ?
am i doing something wrong or has anyone else have this feedback . thanks x

Hi AngieS
No, you haven’t done anything wrong! Not everyone likes ganache as a filling because they just find it too rich. In cases like this why not just make a white chocolate vanilla buttercream or any other flavour you fancy. It will still be chocolatey but not as heavy as ganache. For a white chocolate vanilla buttercream recipe which tastes like icecream have a peek under the picture of the cake layers here:
White chocolate is very sweet so try and pair it with a sharp tasting companion filling like lemon curd or a sharp raspberry jam to cut through the sweetness.
Take a peek here for more ideas:

The cake can still be crumbcoated with the dark ganache to give it stability.
