Hi there… I am an ex pat from good old Joburg…
i do loads of fruit cakes, but never done ganaching before on a fruit cake…, yes, it will shorten the shelf life as its got cream in it. my only other suggestion is to refrigerate or freeze it?? really not sure, hope others may shed light on this
look at this discussion on Paul Bradford;s website on this subject: http://www.designer-cakes.com/questions/ganache-a-fruit-cake
here is another site for ganached fruit cake… http://www.lady-aga.com/post/89346940148/boozy-fruit-cake-with-rich-chocolate-ganache
I did a google search on the subject :)
