Recipe: Cookies and Cream Ganache

Image
 This is a simple recipe for an Oreo crumbs-laden white chocolate ganache. Cookies and Cream Ganache: 600g white chocolate 200mL whipping cream 80g Oreo or similar cookies white food coloring (optional) Start off adding cream to the chopped chocolate. Heat in the microwave or in a double boiler until the chocolate is completely melted. Stir to combine. But I personally don't like how yellow white chocolate ganache is naturally, so I like to add some white food coloring to make it look a bit more appetizing. Finely chop or create crumbs using a food processor. Stir into the ganache. Allow the ganache to set up either sitting out for several hours or cool briefly in the fridge until it cools to room temperature. This ganache is quite thick when set up. It works great as a frosting. And it tastes amazing.

Three-tiered Rainbow Flowers Birthday Cake

 This cake was for a friend's 50th birthday party. She asked for vanilla cake and mango buttercream. So, I made 8-inch, 6-inch and 4-inch vanilla cakes and mango Swiss meringue buttercream. I started out stacking the bottom tier on the largest cake board. I filled and frosted the 8-inch cake with mango Swiss meringue buttercream. Then, on a washable, acrylic cake board, I stacked the middle tier. And finally, on a spare disposable cake board, I stacked the smallest tier. Then I frosted the tiers again and cleaned up the cake board. Then I covered the tiers with fondant. Once I had all the tiers covered in fondant, I stacked the cake. In the bottom tier, I placed one long wooden skewer through the center and a bunch of them flush with the cake around the cake. I spread some buttercream on top of the cake to help the middle tier stick in place. Then I placed several skewers around the middle tier. Added some buttercream and placed the top tier. Now we have a three-tiered, fondant-cov...
