Okay, so say the cheesecake actually survives the flip onto a cake round, and I want to pour ganache on it, what happens to the cake round? Now, it's covered in ganache, right? Am I not thinking this out correctly. What's wrong with my logic, or how do I avoid that...or do I?

Thanks again you guys. Sorry to be such a pain about this cake.

you would leave it on the cake round, when the ganache sets, use a sharp knife to trim it to the cake.

Then you use eighter a hot glue gun or double tape in the center of the DECORATIVE board you have prepared and stick that cake to it.

Simple no? Simple....YES!

*Diva senses a cheesecake trend...can someone just duct tape a few of them to my hips?

Actually people put the cake over a rack usually and then transfer the ganache covered cake onto the round after it is set somewhat. How? Using two spatulas or lifters works well.

Flip it onto a cake round that is the same size as the bottom of the cheesecake. Set the cake on a cooling rack over a cookie sheet. Pour on the ganache so it drips into the pan.
After it is set you can then move the cheesecake leaving it on the cake round onto another larger size cake round or whatever serving dish you are using.

lol

she has the cake covered with ganache already on a cake round...

but yes, squirrlley cakes is correct.. you put the cake on a grid with another pan underneath to catch the over run and pour the ganach over the cake and when it's set you transfer the cake to your prepared cake round.

But since the cake board is already on the bottom, trim it to the cake and put on another board securely.

Thank you very much Squirelly. However, I'm not too excited about taking it off the round after working so hard to get it on the round. I'll give it a shot.

Thanks again.

Oh Crp7, that's what I will do. Thank you. Why didn't I think of that?

Heehee, sorry it is late. You already will have it on the round, so my instructions were useless.
