It's very helpful to stabilize the cake while putting the layer one over another.<br />And.... as far as I know the cherries are placed under the ganache, so they don't press on it in the first place. On the other hand, the cake itself has a lot of weight and presses on itself.

The other disaster is a beautiful cake that cracks right through the center. It has become a family joke and now I only make single layer cakes. I did terrify our oldest daughter by telling her that I was going to make her wedding cake. :) I was kidding but I had her going for a bit.Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380649410508372279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-49328253375586419472015-10-14T03:48:46.818+10:002015-10-14T03:48:46.818+10:00I probably would have just cut it up and put it in...I probably would have just cut it up and put it in a trifle bowl!

Turned out I'd grabbed the powdered sugar. Didn't discover that was the problem until we tasted them at the table. At the same dinner, I was trying to make muffins which I'd made many times before, but they twice overflowed the tins in the oven and made a mess. Powdered sugar instead of flour again. We didn't have muffins, but I didn't figure out what the problem was until we tasted the mushrooms.<br /><br />The other involved a Schwartzwalder Kirschtorte - at least that was what my recipe was labeled. I made it, it looked great. When I tried to cut it at the table to serve - the filling between the layers let the whole shebang slide sideways. Tasted fabulous, but looked like it was assembled by a third grader.Irishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04396327335856768030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-75661680505510440282015-10-13T20:39:36.329+10:002015-10-13T20:39:36.329+10:00Couldn't help but chuckle, know the feeling we...Couldn't help but chuckle, know the feeling well, even when it is tried and tested and somehow still seems to fail me.

The accompanying recipe does not mention any ganache, and I cannot remember any Black Forest cake with it. So I suspect this was the reason for your landslide, becuse it made the filling too heavy. On the other hand, I agree with you that everything is better with ganache!Hildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447112312199912513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-36160756272070281602015-10-13T13:28:50.813+10:002015-10-13T13:28:50.813+10:00Oh no!!!
