    My daughter, who is 13, made this for me for my birthday cake. It was easy, and turned out beautiful. It tasted heavenly. Not too sweet, creamy and had a nice shine. Great!!

    Just the right amount of sweetness, soft, lovely texture, and beautiful shine. Easy to make and added the perfect finishing touch to my Tuxedo Cheese Cake...

    I have made ganache successfully before but thought I would try this version to see if the corn syrup keeps it a little softer and shinier. I glazed a birthday cake and it did what I hoped. It is a little thicker than I expected but maybe it is the brand of chocolate I used (Callebaut Bittersweet. It is very easy to spread on cake. I wanted a sweeter mousse-like filling to put between the layers so I took half of the warm ganache, stirred in about 1/3 c white chips until they melted and whipped it until it fluffed up a bit and it worked good for filling. Remember ganache will only be as sweet as your chocolate you are using.
