Thanks for the tutorial.
– I see the size of the cake is 30 cm (~12 inches) and 100 mm (~4 inches). What is the recipe for the cake? I see as you are carving the cake, it has to be hard enough to work with.

http://www.yenersway.com/recipes For a 12″ x4″ height cake you need 4 kg mud cake sponge and 2 kg ganache. If the cake is 10″ round you need 2.4 kg sponge and 1.2 kg ganache.
What did you use to crumb coat the cake? Also I always have a problem when stacking 2 cakes to make the 4″ height. Do I have to use anything between the layers? Thank you.
Crumb coat – Ganache
Crust coat – Compound chocolate
Final coat – ganache again
Use a little bit of ganache or buttercream to stack high cakes.
