    "excerpt": "A simple chocolate ganache glaze, hot chocolate flakes melted into warm cream, drizzled over a cake and set glossy and firm.",
    "content_text": "A ganache glaze is about as easy as baking gets: chocolate melted into warm cream, glossy and pourable, setting to a firm shell over a cake. Hot chocolate flakes are a handy shortcut here, melting smoothly into the cream and bringing their own sweetness. Poured over a sponge it slips down the sides in glossy sheets and looks far fancier than the effort involved.\n\nSource: Teas.co.uk. UK independent tea specialist, Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
