Grinch face cake from the Christmas How the Grinch stole Christmas I based this cake on an image I saw on google which I think is from a shot of the new Grinchcoming out in 2017 or 2018 with benedict cumberbatch in. Either way, I thought it would be a great face cake to do for Christmas, especially seen as a few of you guys had asked for it :)\r
Merry Christmas everyone!\r

Chocolate ganache recipe - \r
- To make chocolate ganache you can simply melt chocolate with double cream in a glass bowl above a pan of boiling water ( I use the hob to heat the water, but be sure to turn this right down once the chocolate begins to melt so it doesnt burn). I use the ratio of 3 to 1 chocolate to double cream.\r
