This simple, easy, and effortless recipe, along with my tips and troubleshooting, will show you how to make mirror glaze perfectly every single time.
Have all your ingredients ready so you do not leave out anything
Add half the water in a small bowl with gelatin and let it soak for 3 to 5 mins to bloom.
In a heavy-based saucepan, add glucose, sugar, condensed milk, vanilla extract, and remaining water. Let it come to a boil over low to medium heat.
Once all the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has come to a nice, slow boil, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a minute before you add the white chocolate.
Next, add the soaked/bloomed gelatin. Let it melt.
Divide the glaze into the number of colors you need for your project. Color the glaze with food gel colors. Let it come to almost room temperature between 90 to 95 F.
Pouring the glaze - Place the frozen cake on a cooling rack over a large plate or baking sheet so the excess will drip down on the cake. Pour the glaze in a circular motion, starting with one or two colors based on the desired effect. Use an offset spatula to blend the colors.
