ganache and chocolate biscuit cake

Can I cover chocolate biscuit cakes with ganache before covering with fondant for weddings/birthdays ?
My second Q is, can you use butter cream instead of fondant over ganche?
thanks

Hello 231081

I don’t see why biscuits can’t be ganached and covered with sugarpaste! Might be a bit fiddly but you should be able to do it. Butter cream over ganache would probably be ok too although I’ve never tried it so I can’t really answer that for sure.
How about making a small trial batch for both? it will also be a good learning experience and you’ll know for definite whether or not it suits the purpose. If you do try it, your feed back would be great so other members can learn from your experience too.
