Hi Lynn bainbridge

It’s best to refrigerate the ganache once made. It will be fairly set the following day and will need to be brought back to working temperature. Microwave it gently on low power, at first for 30 seconds, stir, and continue each time, reducing the length of time it is heated, and stirring in between heating to prevent it burning.

The cakes can be covered and decorated 2 – 3 days before the wedding. Store them in a cool place in your home away from direct sources of heat eg radiators and sunlight. Please see the following link for more information:
