Thank you for showing we all make mistakes. You just fixed it with grace and style where I would have freaked out. Thank you for sharing and keep on caking.
Aww thanks Lorraine! Yeah I thought of cutting it out so that the video was shorter, but then I thought why not leave it in - we all make mistakes now and then and it can be nice to see those mistakes to know we are not alone! :D
@@CakesbyMK You literally did a great job..also that ganache fact was something I Agree with you as I was also facing the problem of setting my cake with ganache but every time I did my it did not sat on the cake properly I mean whenever I used to make some decorations or piping work It did not sit on the cake so every time this happened I used to be disappointed I used to think how people do this so easily on RUclips and following the same recipe of ganache I never achieved the look they used to show in their videos but this year in the month of June I found your video and I tried it I mean I saw that you talked about this Ganache thing and this was something which used to happened with me so this time I tried to change the proportions of ganache due to which my ganache was the same like other RUclipsrs showed on the videos.. it was just perfect and I did a great job with the decorations and all my faith in baking cakes and decorating it came back with your recipe so I literally want to thank you from the bottom of my heart sending love peace and hugs keep going🤌🏻✨
Excellent! I'm getting a gameplan together for a raspberry-chocolate cake, and wanted to combine ganache and buttercream somehow. This is going to be perfect! I've never ganached a whole cake before, so this is going to be a lot of fun. :)
Aslmz MK watching from sunny south Africa really mashallah I love how u explain the entire covering off the cake really appreciate it take care allah hafez 💗🇿🇦🎉
Just stumbled on your channel today, the fact that you respond to your fans and all inquiries is impressive... I'm subscribing and liking all your videos because of your positive attitude and positive impact. Keep it up. God bless you.
Amazing ❤️ But when I work with that consistency of ganache into the filling of my cake, the cake tends to slip off or a huge amount of ganache oozes out.. So I prefer mine to be a little more stiff than this.. Also the pain of repeating the scraping and smoothing step is a pain and satisfying at the same time ❤️ Great work!
Hi there! Ahh yes this can be a problem if the ganache is too runny! Sometimes I like to stiffen mine up too depending on the type of cake I'm making :)
@@CakesbyMK so how do you stiffen it so that it doesn't become runny ? I want to make ganache to fill a chocolate cake then make some for the top before covering with fondant ..
Thanks Aniela! :) I use a steel turntable from Cake Craft I think it was! If you search online for steel turntable there's heaps of different ones that come up :)
This looks amazing and you make it so easy 😅. I want to make 2 tier cake, bottom black and top gold. Do you recommend this technique for both tiers? To the bottom I would had to add black colour Mill and to the top, golden dust... do you think it's ok? 😊
Hi MK thank you for the tutorial, one question what kind of chocolate that you use I mean compound or couverture chocolate because I'm still confused. Thank you for your response🙏😊
Thanks for the 2:1 ratio. Do you happen to have a similar formula to determine how much ganache is needed to cover a cake? Something like size of pan X number of layers = quantity of ganache needed????
Hi. I'm amazed by how easy and delicious this is. 1 question though, so I refrigerate my cake, understandable that the ganache firms up, but the problem is when I'm cutting slices for customers order, I find slicing easier when cake is cold, but ganache too firm. Help!!!
Hi MK. I'm doing a cake for my kid's outdoor party next week. You know how hot it can be in nz in summer, what covering would you suggest for the cake? Buttercream, ganache etc?
Waiyyakum! If the cake is fully covered with the ganache then it will last in the fridge for atleast a few days :D and yes you can totally make it beforehand :)
Hey MK. I am enjoying your tutorials and a little bias you're from NZ too. Can you please advise where I can purchase a cake scrapper like the one you have used in this video? I love that it has a handle on it.
Hello.Nice teaching. I hav one query.If I layered my cake with cream and wanted to cover fully with ganache.but cream crumbs mix while coating with ganache.plz help.
Hi there! You can use the same ratio for milk chocolate ganache, but if you stay in a warmer climate than you can increase the ratio to 3:1 of milk chocolate to cream :)
I am going to give this a try. You explain it so well. Is it possible to color chocolate ganache black? I am trying to find something easier than coloring buttercream black. Thanks.
Is the ganache able to be embossed after it stiffens? I’m doing a gold bar cake and not sure if I can impress the “FINE GOLD 999.9” into the ganache or if I must put fondant over it to emboss the fondant.
Thanks so much! :D And I like using 4 inches larger than the cake I'm making, so for an 8 inch cake I would use a 12 inch cake board :). You can get away with using a 10 inch cake board too, but anything smaller starts getting too close to the cake :)
Hi MK I am new to your channel and totally hooked to your vids...how can one add sprinkles to the base of a ganached cake?? Should I wet the base with water then add sprinkles?? Really lost and would appreciate feedback..ta
Should I freeze or well refrigerate cakes before applying ganache? I tried ones taking cake from freezer that was hold 1 hour. And ganache hardened very fast and I couldn't make smooth shape. Can you please advise
Hi there! Yeah so the colder your cake is, the quicker the ganache is going to set - so it'll be easier to use room temperature cakes when applying the filling and crumb coat, then pop into the fridge for half an hour then do the final coat :)
Thanks for your reply. I saw another you tube vloger that suggested to apply to cold cake. And failed to smooth my make. I will follow to apply room temperature cake next time. Thanks
If you don't mind me asking you if I am going to cover the whole came with fondant do I still need to have the ganache to be thick in consistency or is it okay to have a 1:1 ratio of ganache.
This is amazing, thanks. Can I ask, how big of a cake can I cover with that amount? (1kg chocolate, 500ml heavy cream) I want to cover 18cm and 25cm cakes, but I'm not sure how much to make.
Only discovered your channel a couple of days ago. I love it. I’m learning heaps from it. You speak so beautifully and calmly. Thanks.

Hi MK, can i use this way for buttercream or Swiss meringue frosting? I am really new to baking cakes. Thank you in advance I’m from California ❤
That’s a lot of ganache! Loved it
Awesome dear
It’s really looks amazing

Thanks MK, I love your video 🥰 great tips:). What kind of turntable do you use, I love the color base👍
Thanks Aniela! :) I use a steel turntable from Cake Craft I think it was! If you search online for steel turntable there's heaps of different ones that come up :)
Hi, I live in a very hot country. Do you recommend using ganache before covering the cake with fondant? Especially for wedding cakes
Hi there! Yes ganache will work well :)
Hi...this is awesome...could you please let me know any substitute for fresh cream?
Will fresh milk help?
Beautifully done!
Very nice , thanks for sharing!
Perfect 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

The Best At More To All.
Hi MK thank you for the tutorial, one question what kind of chocolate that you use I mean compound or couverture chocolate because I'm still confused. Thank you for your response🙏😊
Hi there! I used couverture chocolate :)
Hi der...will the ganache melt if we keep out ... I wanna make for my kid’s school food fest.. plz reply ❤
Thanks for the 2:1 ratio. Do you happen to have a similar formula to determine how much ganache is needed to cover a cake? Something like size of pan X number of layers = quantity of ganache needed????
My question is can you also use this method for fondant cakes, and can you keep it in the fridge too??
Thanku very much, shyering video

Delicious thanks for sharing 👍🤝🤝❤️❤️🎁🎁🎁😋😋😋
Can you put fondant decorations on a ganache cake?
Hi MK. I'm doing a cake for my kid's outdoor party next week. You know how hot it can be in nz in summer, what covering would you suggest for the cake? Buttercream, ganache etc?
BarakAllah.....how long can this cake can be stored in fridge and how.... can we make a day or 2 before serving?
Waiyyakum! If the cake is fully covered with the ganache then it will last in the fridge for atleast a few days :D and yes you can totally make it beforehand :)
Wonderful channel
this is great & very useful - thank you!! x
Hey MK. I am enjoying your tutorials and a little bias you're from NZ too. Can you please advise where I can purchase a cake scrapper like the one you have used in this video? I love that it has a handle on it.
Amazon
Hello.Nice teaching. I hav one query.If I layered my cake with cream and wanted to cover fully with ganache.but cream crumbs mix while coating with ganache.plz help.
Hi there! I'd do a crumb coat with the ganache on the outside, let it firm up in the fridge and then place your final coat of ganache on top :)
Ok Thanks.
Hi dear.. I Want to know that 2in 1 dark chocolate. Then how about the milk chocolate ganache as same as this ratio or different?
Hi there! You can use the same ratio for milk chocolate ganache, but if you stay in a warmer climate than you can increase the ratio to 3:1 of milk chocolate to cream :)
@@CakesbyMK jazakalallah khairan for your lovely advice may Allah bless you ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I am going to give this a try. You explain it so well. Is it possible to color chocolate ganache black? I am trying to find something easier than coloring buttercream black. Thanks.
All the best with this :D And yes you can colour it black :)
@@CakesbyMK Thank you.
God bless you🙏💕
This is so amazing can you please tell me the ratio for white ganache
Thank you!!!!!
Hey dear, what about milk chocolate? Does the ratio remain same or we will go 3:1
Hi... Should v use chocolate or chocolate compound plz help me in this
Thanks for this but pls what kind of milk can be used for this?
Is the ganache able to be embossed after it stiffens? I’m doing a gold bar cake and not sure if I can impress the “FINE GOLD 999.9” into the ganache or if I must put fondant over it to emboss the fondant.
Can this be used for covering with fondant?
Yes, ganache is great under fondant. Not sure about the 2:1 ratio though under fondant
Will this be sufficient for one 11" square cake and one 5" round cake?
Will the ganache stay firm or hard or will it get really soft after
Alhamdulillah , thank you very much, sister...
Hi MK.. Nice video 🤗 may i know how to make mik & coffee mixture?
Thank you! :D And I simply added a teaspoon of coffee to 1 cup milk :D
Hello from Indonesia! So for dark chocolate ganache, the ratio to fresh cream is 2:1. Good to know!
Is it OK to use normal milk powder without heavy cream or whipped cream dear
Hi there! Which heavy cream should i use? Is whipping cream the same? Thanks!
Hi there! Yes you can use whipped cream, just make sure the fat content is around or above 35% :D
@@CakesbyMK noted with thanks. 🥰🥰
Hi, May I know which cream u use? I m not getting cooking cream in Auckland only whipping cream available. Your reply will be helpful.
Love your tutorials MK. very easy to follow.what size cake board ito use for 8 inch cake?
Thanks so much! :D And I like using 4 inches larger than the cake I'm making, so for an 8 inch cake I would use a 12 inch cake board :). You can get away with using a 10 inch cake board too, but anything smaller starts getting too close to the cake :)
Wow! Beautifully done. Can you please let us know the size of your tin that you used to make the sponge cake. Is it a 4 inch or 6?
Thanks Nooriya! I used a 6 inch cake tin for this video :)
@@CakesbyMK Thanks for replying :)
Wow I'm Zubeida, and I enjoy baking.
Your method is so good,thank you .
Hi MK I am new to your channel and totally hooked to your vids...how can one add sprinkles to the base of a ganached cake?? Should I wet the base with water then add sprinkles?? Really lost and would appreciate feedback..ta
Nice Cake!!!
Will this make the cake hard at the time of cutting?
Should we put the ganache into the fridge instead of room temperature
Can you do chocolate eclair recipe pls 😊
hi, thanks for the recipe..can i add black gel color into the ganache to get a black coated cake?
Hi, yes you can.
Hi Heather! As the other user has kindly mentioned, yes you can :)
Beautiful 😍
Can one apply buttercream frosting on a ganache coated cake?
Will this ganache covered cake melt in room temperature
Superb
Beautiful cake massahallah
Hey MK can u use candy melts as ganache? Just wondering if and how?
Should I freeze or well refrigerate cakes before applying ganache? I tried ones taking cake from freezer that was hold 1 hour. And ganache hardened very fast and I couldn't make smooth shape. Can you please advise
Hi there! Yeah so the colder your cake is, the quicker the ganache is going to set - so it'll be easier to use room temperature cakes when applying the filling and crumb coat, then pop into the fridge for half an hour then do the final coat :)
Thanks for your reply. I saw another you tube vloger that suggested to apply to cold cake. And failed to smooth my make. I will follow to apply room temperature cake next time. Thanks
Hi hi
Can i also use semi sweet chocolate chip? Or is t specific dark chocolate
Hi there! Yes that should be okay :)
Bravo❤❤❤😂😂
hi can you use that ganache for drip cake?
Is whipping cream and heavy cream the same ?
Essentially yes. Whipping just has more fat percentage that makes it a irate better when its whipped
If you don't mind me asking you if I am going to cover the whole came with fondant do I still need to have the ganache to be thick in consistency or is it okay to have a 1:1 ratio of ganache.
Hi there! Yes I would still use the same ratio as you want the ganache to set firmly so it'll be easier to put the fondant on :)
@@CakesbyMK thank you so much for your time to reply me back it really means a lot to me 🥰
Loveeee your videos keep it up
In that same proportion can I assemble the ganache to make a sleeve decoration?
Hi MK which chocolate would you recommend (NZ)?
Heya! Either Whittakers 50% or Cadbury old gold original :D
Hi MK.. Can we replace fresh cream instead of heavy cream??
Hi there! Yes fresh cream or cream used to make whipping cream should work fine :)
Nce videos😘😍
Superb ❤😻
Chocolate and whipping cream ratio u suggested in another video didnt turn out well for me... 😢 This might work 🥰
Can I whipped the rest of the ganache and finish decorating with borders?
Yes absolutely! :)
Can i use store bought chocolate for ganache or i should use callebuet only.
Can u pls let me know what mix did u put the white mix before spreading garnash
Thanks for sharing
Thank u mk
This is amazing, thanks. Can I ask, how big of a cake can I cover with that amount? (1kg chocolate, 500ml heavy cream) I want to cover 18cm and 25cm cakes, but I'm not sure how much to make.
Hye for white choc ganache is it the same as this recipe ratio?
Very nice 👍
