Coloured Ganache! Yes It Works!

Oh me Oh My! I am so thrilled, so excited. I am just on top of the world today! Words can't really do it justice - I really am totally in a zone of cakey euphoria! What's got me so fired up and excited you ask? Drum Roll Please..... Coloured Ganache! Yes you read read right! Coloured ganache, is what's got me excited!
