What is the difference between icing and ganache?

Ganache is a much heavier cream than frosting, in that it has more cocoa solids and it's not whipped. Frosting is lighter, fluffy, and relies on the friction between butter and icing sugar to get a fluffy finish. Ganache is compact, and can even be poured several times, making for a very thick or thin coating.

So having kept it in the fridge it will be fine.

It isn't difficult to make, yet the process is always fraught with tension, because if the cream and chocolate don't come together to form a homogeneous and stable emulsion, the ganache will curdle and turn out dull and wrinkly instead of glossy and smooth.

How far in advance can you ganache a cake?

Does chocolate ganache go bad?

Ganache goes bad because moisture in the cream promotes microbial growth. A typical ganache lasts about two weeks in the fridge, or two days on the counter. However, while all ganaches contain some water from the cream, most of that water is chemically unavailable because it's bound up with other ingredients.
