Hi Tiger18

The ganache should be dropping consistency. Have a look at Paul’s free ganache tutorials here

and if it helps a ganache chart here http://www.cakeflix.com/blog/how-to-ganache-cakes-without-gnashing-your-teeth
Make white and milk chocolate ganache up the day before you need it as they take much longer to set up.
When warming ganache do it on a low setting of the microwave for 20 seconds or less, give it a stir after each warming so it doesn’t burn and for you to see the consistency. Dark ganache sets very quickly, it may be necessary to warm it several times as you’re working along with it. x
