Hi sherbet,
I did exactly the same recently and it was my first time with this cake too. I simply ‘painted’ my ganache covering with boiled water and the cocoform stuck with no problem. Hope that helps.x

Hi sherbet

The ganache can be moistened very slightly by spraying a fine mist of water on the surface of the cake or brush the cakes over with a little warm water like Paul is doing in this lesson for the shoe box cake http://www.cakeflix.com/jimmy-choo-shoe-cake-lesson-3-ganache-part-2 Good luck with your cake.
