Repeat with dark chocolate. Using 1 and 2-inch star cutters, cut as many stars as possible from chocolate. Let stand for 15 mins or until firm.

Refrigerate, stirring occasionally, for 30 mins or until thick. Beat ganache with electric mixer for 30 seconds or until light and creamy. Spread over top of cake.
