Haven’t been able to put mine down!
Hi jojo99
The ganache recipe in the book varies from that in the online tutorial. I’ve asked for clarification, so until that comes I would continue using the recipe in the online tutorial http://www.cakeflix.com/online-cake-decorating-courses/chocolate-ganache and if you like, use the quantity chart here http://www.cakeflix.com/blog/how-to-ganache-cakes-without-gnashing-your-teeth No I don’t think you’re loopy, on looking at the book I got confused as well. There are many different recipes for ganache depending on what the application is, not any one recipe is right or wrong. I mostly use the recipe in the tutorial library as I find it is the most effective for the purposes of decorating cakes. I do however use different quantities for milk and white chocolate ganache. I use other recipes for filling according to the consistency I require. Hope this helps jojo. x
Hi jojo99
Just to update you on the ganache recipe in the book, there is a print error and the recipe to follow is the one online in the tutorial. x
Recovering from an illness and being very bored, i popped down to my local library this morning and to my great delight, there sitting on the shelf amongst all the cookery books was Pauls new Christmas book! I literally snatched it up, booked it out and couldn get home fast enough, so i could sit and lose myself in the beautiful pages! Definately a book to buy in the near future.
Hello JustJennys Cakes
Wishing you a speedy recovery, and what better way to relax than with Paul and David’s new book! My Christmas cakes will definitely be featuring some of the lovely designs. x
Whats the book called and where can you buy it.
If you’re based in the UK you can also buy it in your local Hobbycraft store , Smith’s the stationers, Lakeland and possibly other stores too.
