Place the ‘lid’ onto the top of
the cake. Press it down gently
and give it a little wiggle to
remove any air pockets.

This top ‘lid’ needs to be in
line with the bottom cake
board. Use 2 cake scrapers
as a guide. Hold each straight
edge against both boards
all around the cake to make
sure they are in line.

Don’t forget to check your
levels!

Using a spatula fill in all
the sides of your cake with
ganache.

Rest your cake scraper on
the edge of each of the cake
boards and remove any
excess ganache. You may
need to fill in spaces that you
missed the first time.

Repeat this process as
needed until all the sides are
filled with ganache. I leave
my ganached cake sitting
on the bench overnight
to set.
