I saw the thread where they were talking about fondant as a cake frosting but what about ganache? Has anyone tasted it? I was thinking of having chocolate ganache on the outside. Its something different and I love chocolate!!! Any tips?

As far as I am concerned nothing chocalate could possibly be bad. I would talk to a baker about it. The Chocolate might tend to melt quicker then frosting or fondant.

Yes it's possible!!! That's what I'm doing. I love chocolate and I'm getting married in the fall so I thought it would go with the theme. Plus it's a little different.

ganache is just chocolate with cream and butter... it is made into liquid and allowed to chill and turns into a sort of icing...that is also what truffles are made out of. How can you go wrong with that combo???

Does anybody have any pictures of chocolate cakes? It is something I would love to do, but I definately need to sell the idea to my FH

Check out the pictures on the Bride's magazine or Modern Bride magazine website. Sorry, I don;t have them on my work computer to post...
Ok - my choc cake pics were to big to post. Went to resize and got the following error (even though they are all jpg)
This image is an unrecognized format! Unable to resize.

I love ganache! I don't think it sets very well though. It is usually somewhat thin and can be drippy in the heat. I don't know if there is a way to make it so it's more solid.
