The Ganacherator - Page 2

Wow....what an incredibly generous thing to do - saving countless hours of frustration and ......waaait a minute.... Just who is this "McSprinkles" anyway? We North Americans can still remain a bit aloof while the Oz-ies come to us with their superiour golden tans, unattainable sexy accents, and "hold-on-Mate-till-I-wrestle-this-roo-before-icing-my-mud-cake" can-do attitude, but how can we not be seduced into becoming total puddles of melted ganache when they are so darn nice?
I echo Southern Cross.... "mcsprinkles, mcsprinkles, mcsprinkles"

Hi All! Long time no post for me.

Hope the Ganacherator is working for all of you.

Just dropped by to tell you  that The Ganacherator now has a new home!

www.facebook.com/theganacherator

The link to the spreadsheet is in the notes on the page. A few people have been unable to acess the notes via their mobile devices so I recommend using a PC or Mac to view them. And of course to download the spreadsheet.

Come on over and if you feel the ganache love, feel free to share the page.

Happy Ganaching!

Jane

You are McSprinkles tho, so i guess you would say that... lollllllllllllllllll

Hi McSprinkles (Jane?)!

 

Thanks very much for sharing this, how generous of you! I've been using buttercream under fondant all this while, but intend to try ganaching instead, for a smoother finish.

 

Sorry if this is a bit of a noob question (and if this is already stated on your Facebook page, I can't access Facebook where I am now), but are the quantities generated intended to only cover the cake, or to cover AND fill? I noticed there's a "number of layers" input, so am guessing it's to fill as well, but just wanted to be sure.

 

Thanks again!

 

(p.s. my very first CC post. I love the forum, so nice to be part of a community which speaks the same language and shares the same ups and downs of the "caking" world :) )

What a great tool!  You shoud turn that into a phone app and sell it.  You'd make a ton!  Thanks so much.

Hi allycrumbs

If you are making a layered cake then you need to put the number of layers of cake that you intend to have in the box that says "layers".

So if you are making a 3 layered cake, put "3" in this box.

The Ganacherator will then calculate how much ganache you need for each layer and the whole of the outside of the cake to a thickness of about half a centimetre or just less than 1/4 inch roughly. There should be a bit left over for disasters too.  

 

Hope that helps, and welcome to the forum!

 

Jane :)

Thank you, that's very helpful indeed! I hope to try ganaching my cake (instead of my usual buttercream), fingers crossed it'll work out well icon_smile.gif Much appreciated!

Just want to say THANK YOU! Just covered a 14" tier in ganache. This is the first time I've used ganache and the figures your spreadsheet provided were right on the money!

Hi Jane, The Ganacherator gave me the perfect numbers. And yes, leftover for disasters are a must :) It's so much easier to work with ganache than buttercream under fondant, I don't think I'll ever go back! Thanks :) Ally

Thank you so much! I just downloaded and tried it out. Very easy to use and beautifully designed. I can't wait to try this out, no more playing the 'guessing game'.
