Having messed around with thinking I no how to make and use ganache - I didn’t - got Sally’s All About Ganache Guide - and now I do. It is so easy to understand and follow, with pics too, and I have just made and covered an 8” x 4 layer cake in perfect ganache - as a crumb coat and probably only have about 4 tablespoons left - so no waste or saving it etc as Sally gives u perfect portions to use for the sizes u r using. My confidence in this is a little high at the moment as I am now going to fully cover a cake in ganache with colour!!!
I have tried ganache a couple times but lacked the confidence and this guide has helped so much. The detail is amazing and the tips are game changing. I would without doubt recommend this guide to anyone thinking about using ganache
where in south africa can i get this book
Sally's ganache guide saved me so much trial and error! Perfect finish on the first go and i loved the finish of the ganache.
Switched from smbc to ganache in a blink! Would definitely recommend
Just want to say a mahooosive thank you for the ganache guide. I’m a true hobby baker of celebration cakes, and recently bit-off more than I could chew for a friend’s big birthday bash. Having had just as many fails as wins with buttercream, I took a leap of faith and bought your guide.
It was far from perfect, and I did baking no no of not trialing it first, but this made it so straight forward and enjoyable. I managed to get the smoothest finish. Thank you so much! Ganache all the way from now on!
