Square Ganache Frame
Create super sharp, sleek edges on your ganached cake designs using this Choctastique Ganache Frame.
The Choctastique Ganache Frame helps to create ganached ‘lids’ for the top and bottom of cakes. The Perspex lid will act as a guide when ganaching the sides of your cakes ensuring super sharp and sleek edges on every cake.
Ganache lids can be made in advance and stored in between parchment paper in the fridge for super speedy future cake decorating.
The Choctastique Ganache Frame can also be used to achieve sharp edges on sugarpaste covered cakes by using the central square from the frame as a guide to smooth your sugarpaste against.
Measures approximately 3mm thick.
