Hello stargazerjac
So has the ganache not set up hard? I don’t know what Oreo cream cheese is. If it’s the same as regular cream cheese it’s possible the moisture from it has softened the structure. What type of chocolate did you use? If it was white, you may need to re ganache the cakes by using a 4:1 ratio. Please could you give a little more detail. Unfortunately it’s difficult to give a precise answer without knowing how wet your filling is and the type of ganache used. If I was experiencing a tilt, the cakes would have to be dis- assembled to find the problem and corrected it. It may even be that the tiers are not absolutly level. If that is the problem use a plumber’s level to see where the cake in un even and fill with ganache to even it it out. At the moment your cake doesn’t sound very stable, it could be a number of things but it can be corrected, just needs a bit of thought as to why it is leaning.
This recent question about cream cheese might also be of interest to you:
Just to make certain, are we dicusssing a stacked tiers? and did you dowel dowel them?
My apologies, I should have asked in my first replu.
It was dark chocolate ganache it’s a regular cream cheese filling I only added some Oreo cake is due tomorrow and I am going to do all of it again the ganache went soft
Oh I’m so sorry for your bad luck. I think it must have been the moisture in the cream cheese. Please have a read of the link I posted above if you have time. If your chocolate is less than 50% cocoa solids it might help if you use more chocolate so the ganache is stronger or use less cream with the chocolate you have. Please let me know how you’re getting on. All your hard work, I feel so sorry. x
