of a fine truffle or chocolate.

Some non-ganache options
include the following:
But what the heck is
ganache, anyway?
Ganache (pronounced
"gah-nash"), when used as a
filling, is denser than
buttercream, akin to a fudge,
usually made with chocolate
and cream, and sometimes
butter.
OK, but what's mascarpone, then?
Mascarpone, originating from the Lombardy
region of Italy, is made from cow's milk, has soft
and mild taste and texture like clotted cream, and
has a high butterfat content.

While called a 'cheese', it's about as much a
cheese as the schmeer on your brunch bagel.

Mascarpone is often used as a filling in tiramisu.
Ganache is also used in
truffles, as a cake filling and
as a glaze, depending on the
ratio of the ingredients.

Fondant
Vanilla Buttercream
Buttercream is the most common frosting.

Cocoa's buttercream is smooth and rich,
made from the finest European butter, egg
whites, sugar, and more butter.

Flavors and colors are added to suit.
Fondant is a sugar paste known for its elasticity and
smoothness that can be rolled out as a cake frosting, or
molded into other shapes

Cocoa uses European fondant, a mixture of sugar, water
and glucose.

Like buttercream, colors and flavors are added to suit.

Fondant comes from the French "fondre", to melt.
