Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A
White chocolate shard
I saw the video for the white chocolate shard cake, and in the recipe section it gives both white chocolate and white chocolate ganache, so do we need to make ganache and add more chocolate? I dont understand. sorry it may seem clear to others but Im confused

Hi Allthingspretty
The chocolate is for tempering only, just for making the panels and is completely separate from the ganache. The ganache is made with more white chocolate and double cream and is used for filling and enrobing the cakes. The harvested panels are then stuck to each cake as it is ganached.
If it helps, there is a ganache quantities chart for different size cakes and different types of chocolate here
