I need to make a Wedding rehersal cake (white and chocolate marblized) in
October and since the groom loves chocolate I would like to frost it with a
Chocolate frosting. I have a ganache recipe but don't know if that would be
appropriate.
It needs to take a long ride after it's iced ( about an 8 hour ride) and I
need something that won't melt, or I guess I could ice it there which might
be the better solution. Any suggestions would be greatfully received.

Chocolate rolled fondant is bulletproof.

I appreciate the suggestion for fondant but I just don't care for the
texture of it in my mouth.

You could always go early and do the icing after you get there.

I use ganache on cakes all the time as well as chocolate buttercream and don't
have any extra problems with it traveling okay.

You could also use chocopaste and it would be the same consistancy as rolled
fondant, only taste better.

I just use the basic "buttercream" icing from Wilton...

to make 3 cups...

1 tsp. clear vanilla extract
3-4 TBSP. water (more for chocolate icing )
1 c. solid vegetable shortening
1 lb. sifted confectioners sugar (4 cups)
1/4 c. Hershey's unsweeted cocoa

Cream shortening, flavorings and water. Gradually add sifted confectioners
sugar and cocoa and mix on medium speed until all ingredients have been
thoroughly mixed together. Blend an additional minute or so, until creamy.
Add additional liquid to make desired consistency.
