Ganache: [guh-nahsh] - a melted mixture of chocolate and cream; used to fill crevices of cakes and provide structure to shaped cakes.Used as a thin base layer, the ganache - once it has set, provides a smooth surface to apply rolled fondant or buttercream icing. In addition, ganache makes cakes taste better and keeps them moist.The ganache can be used on cupcakes, as well as, cakes and can be made in white chocolate or chocolate. Really a wonder icing, once the ganache has a firm surface it allows for a sharp edge and a crisp look. This is what truly makes an exquisite cake.
