Etymology
Ganache as a verb comes from the noun ganache (the smooth chocolate-and-cream mix); to ganache a cake is to coat or fill it with that glossy chocolate. One popular story used as a memory hook says the name came from a French insult for a clumsy helper, which helps explain why the verb is used for a kitchen action.
