I’ve got a 12″ round and a 9″ round rainbow cake five layers so will be roughly not far of 7 to 8 ” tall each cake was just wandering how much white chocolate will I need to cover in white ganache I’m used to using dark chocolate but the ratio is different for white ganache so don’t want to over order or under order any help would be much appreciated

Hello Jay-Jay40

You’ll find the ganache fill and cover quantities chart here:

How to Ganache Cakes Without Gnashing Your Teeth!

The bog will tell you that the amounts are worked out for a 3″ tall cakes to fill and cover. Your cakes are quite tall so I would suggest doubling the amounts for the appropriate size cakes. Since you’re not filling that will leave you plenty of ganache for good coverage.

Hope this helps.
