WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THE REST OF THE CAKE? LOL

[UnderlinedDesigns]

I can't find a way to enter my text there! :|

[cloetzu]

your recipe for ganache is roughly 2:1 (choc to cream) but do you let it set after melting? and if so just on the counter or in the fridge and for how long?

[deenasty77]

do you have to use a mud cake

[sashaas998]

This video is so good!!!. Do you froze the cake to carve it?

[natiscakes]

I freeze the cake to improve the texture, but I carve it once it has completely thawed. The cake used is mudcake and very very firm.

you're not planning on sharing that recipe for the cake are you? Wow, does it look dense, decadent , and delicious!!!!

[natiscakes]

@FollowerofChrist4Lif Yup the recipe for this cake has always been on the How 2 Cakes website :)

OMG..Nati..this is fantastic!!..I have been wanting to make a pair of Chucks for a while....what ratio do you use for chocolate to cream or can you share the recipe for the ganache?

[natiscakes]

The recipe you use for ganache will depend on what brand of ganache you use. With some a 1:2 ratio is good with others it's not.

I use Callebaut dark callets, and for that I use a 1:1.5 ratio (cream:chocolate)

"please avoid self mutilation" <---hahahahaha :D

[Diamond1887]

I can't tell in the video because it's sped up, but do you wipe off your spatula after dipping it in the boiling water?

[natiscakes]

No, i dont wipe the spatula after dipping it in boiling water.

[honeyzway]

wow that was really cool

[mikey0706]

Wow that's amazing!! Did you cover it in fondant after the ganache?

[natiscakes]

Thank you, yes, all the decorations are done in fondant :)
