I don’t know if you’ve ever tasted plain gelatin (or even smelled it), but it is simply disgusting.Įvery time I mix plain gelatin with water to let it bloom, my gag reflex kicks in. However, it is an indispensable ingredient in mirror glaze recipes to help them set properly. With that being said, I wanted to add something to this recipe to cover that flavor! I ended up settling on white chocolate and sweetened condensed milk. These are the primary flavor of this mirror glaze.Īdding these ingredients gives this glaze a bright white base, which will make it easier to color. These ingredients also make the mirror glaze a tiny bit thicker and more forgiving. The only downside is that the white chocolate does make the glaze a tiny bit less shiny!! It covers the cake in a thicker layer of glaze than a traditional mirror glaze. Why Is This Recipe Easier Than a Normal Mirror Glaze? This mirror glaze will reflect everything when it’s poured, but overtime it can lose some of its shine. Traditional mirror glaze recipes involve more ingredients and additional equipment. This easy, five ingredient recipe makes the technique way more approachable.Īnother bonus?! It can be made just using your microwave!!

Traditionally, mirror glaze cakes involve pouring the glaze over a perfectly smooth, mousse-covered cake. The key to pouring it over buttercream is to make sure the cake is thoroughly chilled and that the frosting is super smooth. When I say thoroughly chilled, I mean that the cakes must be fully chilled and firm to the touch. How Much Mirror Glaze Does One Batch Make? This means at least 20 minutes in the freezer, or at least an hour in the fridge. This easy mirror glaze recipe makes enough glaze to covered two, six-inch layer cakes. It would also definitely be enough to cover an eight-inch layer cake. While this style of cake is beautiful to make, they involve pouring tons of glaze over the cake. This is necessary to make sure the cake is fully covered in glaze. You can try to salvage the glaze that runs off, but it can be more difficult to reuse if your colors combine. Leftover glaze can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated. Reheat the mixture in 10-15 second intervals until it reaches 90 F / 32 C, the use as desired. While my original mirror glaze cake was galaxy themed, you can create so many different looks with different colors. Whatever colors you end up making, it’s super important that you use gel food coloring to color this glaze.
