- Take half the ganache and whip it till it turns light and thick.
- Place one cake layer down. Top with whipped ganache (save some ganache, dont use all of it). Top with 2nd cake layer and crumb coat the whole cake with a thin layer of whipped ganache. Place in fridge to set.

- I suggest you remove the cake from the fridge about 30 minutes before serving or you are going to have a hard time cutting it and eating it.

Hey there!
Thanks for stopping by to look @ my profile :)
I'll be 15 on the 11th of September 2006....Ive been using Zaar for quite a while now and I've made tons of friends so far......
I started cooking when I was umm....12 and a half and Ive been in love with it ever since...My first project was the classic batch of brownies. I used a pan that was too big and I got really really flat brownies.....For the frosting I used granulated sugar and had crunchy frosting haha.....
Ive gotten much better since then!
I tend to get discouraged very easily if something I make does not come out like it was expected to....I can even get depressed over it.....
I have plans on going to Le Courdon Bleu Sydney in mid 2008 and completing the Grand Diploma there......
This is my cat Kiara. I found her in the backyard when I was 10, and I started feeding her toast and grape jelly. She's on a normal cat's diet now haha.
