Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

Saw Paul’s video on adding ganache to butter cream, would that work with a cream cheese frosting, to add structure to the frosting?

Hi Audra Drabloes

Unfortunately no. Although ganache will firm it up in the short term, the moisture contained in cream cheese will soften the ganache too much for it to be stable for any length of time. It will also require refrigeration due to it’s higher risk of spoiling at room temperature and best served as close to requirement as possible.
