If you’re new to making coloured ganache though, I highly recommend reading through the post first as you’ll get a lot of extra tips and info along the way! My preferred method for colouring ganache is to make the ganache, then add the colour to the finished ganache before it sets.The amount of ganache you’ll need to make for your drip will depend on the size of your cake and how much of a drip you want to do, but a good place to start is with 120g of chocolate or candy melts and 40g of cream.

This amount will be how much ganache you need to cover the cake, and this is the amount you will need to colour. With Colour Mill, you can unlock a world of limitless possibilities, adding intense, true-to-life colours to your cakes, pastries, chocolates, cookies, and more.I also often add a small squeeze of corn syrup to the ganache drip, as it adds some nice extra shine.

If I’m using ganache to both fill the cake and cover it with coloured ganache, I usually make one batch of ganache, then split it off into filling and covering amounts, and just colour the covering amount. If you end up with a colour that is too dark, you can tone it down a little with more whitener (or add in some more uncoloured ganache, if you have some on hand), but as with most things, it’s easier to build the colour up than try and take it away.

They’re the colourings I use most often for ganache, as I usually have a good selection of colours on hand. Test the consistency of the ganache before you start on your cake, to do this I usually drip some down the side of a drinking glass. You want the ganache to be runny enough to drip down the side of the glass, but not run right down the bottom and form a puddle.If you’re nervous, or not sure how to get the colour you want, then start out by colouring a small amount of the ganache in a separate bowl. Once you’re happy with that, you can colour the rest to match, and then stir the initial small amount of ganache back in.
