The instructions are
Bring double cream to the boil, remove from heat, add chocolate and stir until melted. Allow to cool then beat until thickened. It should become stiff enough to stay on top of a cake.
It has eventually after about 20 minutes of beating just about got there, but I've had to put it in the fridge to make sure it doesn't slide straight off again
I'll get a pic of the finished article

Looks very yummy Yvonne. Perhaps the quantities were a bit out. an extra bit of chocolate melted and mixed in might have done the trick but it depends on whether it was on the cake when you realised it was going to have trouble setting. But hard to sort it then

Before when I've done a ganache the recipes have said to chill in the fridge, this one advised against as the glossy look is lost. when it went in the fridge it set perfectly. Dull, but firm

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand - strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO -What a Ride!:D

That cake looks De-lish Yvonne, I could never attempt something like that.
Well done, let me know if you are going to take similar cakes to a meet and I may turn up
