Small Cake

Small cake coated with Valrhona Ganache Cream.

Ganache from the world for jowl is a glaze,icing,sauce, or filling for pastries made from chocolate and cream.Ganache is normally made by heating cream, the pouring it over chopped dark semi-sweet chocolate. The mixture is stirred or blended until smooth, with liqueurs or extracts added if desired.
Depending on the kind of chocolate used, for what purpose the ganache is intented, and the temperature at which it will be served, the ratio of chocolate to cream is varied to obtain the desired consistency. Typically, two part chocolate to one part of cream are used for filling cakes or truffle base, while one to one is commonly used as a glaze. Cooled ganache can be whipped to increase volume and spread to cover a cake. However, if left to cool too much it can become too thick and unspreadable-Wikipedia
