  2. Cooling: Refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
Dressing:

  3. Chill: Once again, chill the cake for 1-2 hours till the ganache sets in.

Tips

  1. Chilling: Always chill the cake before pouring ganache into it. This will help the ganache to stay over the cake and not seep in.
  2. 2 stages of pouring: Ensure the ganache is poured in two stages. This will help in evenly coating of ganache over the cake.
  3. Pro tip for customers: Tell your customers to warm the cake for 30 seconds before having it. Trust us, they will keep coming back!
