METHOD OF MAKING CHOCOLATE GANACHE 
  Place the chocolate into a medium bowl. Heat the cream in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Bring just to a boil, watching very carefully because if it boils for a few seconds, it will boil out of the pot. When the cream has come to a boil, pour over the chopped chocolate, and whisk until smooth.
Allow the ganache to cool ...keep it in fridge covered with aluminium foil...  For a fluffy frosting or chocolate filling, allow it to cool until thick, then whip with a whisk until light and fluffy...then put it with butter knife or spatula on the cake . Sprinkle some chocco chips  to simulate the seeds.

if you do not have pink chocolate..you can use white chocolate mixed with few drops of pink colour.
