I followed your recipe exactly as you wrote and described in your tutorial. My cake turned out beautifully! I was so impressed with the results that I created an account just to comment on this. Thank you so much!
YESSS! I went through so many mirror glaze videos today and this is the first and only video that stated how much to use of each ingredient. Thank you SO much! 😃
I love this recipe. This was my first attempt. It is so delicious and the consistency perfect. The only error I made was pouring the glaze too soon. My glaze was about 119 Fahrenheit and it melted the frozen buttercream right off my cake. Next time I’ll wait til it cools to about 93 degrees like the others have highly suggested and was missed here. Thank you for this amazing recipe. Can’t wait to do this again!!!
Thank you so much for providing this recipe. I want you to know that it worked out superb!!! The shine was astonishing. I made black mirror glaze, and drizzled gold airbrush paint for a stunning effect. I used 4 packs of gelatin to achieve the measurement of 2 tbsp. However, I realized it was much too stiff and decided to use two packs which created the consistency in your video. Two packs measured to be 1 tbsp. You are phenomenal, and I appreciate your hard work!!!!
Katrina Floyd-Gonzales so it needs to be 1 tbsp, right? The gelatin I bought come into a big bag, not the separated small packages like Chelsweets used.
Thank you so much for such super easy mirror glaze recipe i do baking only for my family and i just started few month before after tomorrow my niece is birthday she asking me for galaxy cake so i was searching easy recipe it will be my first mirror glaze cake i will try this recipe you shared with us and will definitely share the results and response of all guests thank you again 🥰
Since I'm in Europe I wanted to convert the US cups measurement to metric system, so here you go for anyone who needs it! I used conversion websites and charts to get this information 14 grams gelatine powder 150g sugar 340g white chocolate chips 204g condensed milk 59g water for the gelatine 177g water for the sugar
@@Chelsweets No problem, I'm going to be using this recipe next week so I've been looking up US Cups to grams conversion charts so that I get a better idea, since the cups I have at home are UK cups (which would explain why the recipes I try never work, haha!)
sure! all my recipes are up on chelsweets.com! My go-to vanilla cake recipe: chelsweets.com/2016/09/05/best-vanilla-layer-cake-recipe/ And my frosting recipe: chelsweets.com/2016/11/01/the-best-american-buttercream-recipe/
My cake turned out absolutely beautiful. I used teal, royal blue, bright white and silver edible dust. I decorated the top with rice paper sails. I impressed myself. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤❤
after watching alot of tutorials on making mirror glaze its safe to say yours is the best by far! thanks for shari g and making life that bit much easier
I made this, but changed the method. I oscillated the water, sugar, and condensed milk while allowing the gelatin to bloom. Then when the condensed mixture got to about 100 degrees, I added about a half cup of corn syrup (to boost volume). Then oscillated the white chocolate into it and then the gelatin. The results yeilded me enough to cover two 9 inch by 4 inch high mousse cakes and then some!! What a beautiful and fun glaze to use. Thank you (will be doing it again in a week)
You answered the two questions I had with the video which were can u put mirror glass on a buttercream cake and what was a simple recipe. Thanks for this video
Thank you so much, you have enlightened me as to icing the cake, on some of the other videos they do not mention about icing the cake before glazing it. Thank you so much for the tutorial, was a huge help.
I liked watching you glaze the cake. I won't be doing it myself because I'm incapable of the crumb coat....practice practice....does no good. But I'll definitely be trying the vanilla cake recipe you linked though. I've had very limited success with vanilla cakes. I follow the recipe. The batter tastes fine to even delicious. But the final product is always a mix between wrong and sweet cornbread. Hopefully this one turns out better!
Katie Faircloth It's the flour. Use a sifter when measuring out your flour, and dont over mix your batter. Also,use real butter instead of oil or margarine. You can try using cake flour too.
Katie, I had trouble crumb coating as well. Heres what I do. Freeze the cake overnight and then heat a container of icing (from grocery store)in the microwave on power level 3 for about 15 sec till runny and pour over the cake. Smooth with a knife and refreeze till ready to cover with reg icing, fondant or this new mirror covering. Works for me!
Hi , I made the glaze with your recipe, it turned out amazing. I was scared to try it but it was so good . It tasted delicious too. Thank you for the recipe!!!
I will be attempting to do this tonight for a friend's birthday party tomorrow. Although it should be mentioned here that the cake needs to be frozen before pouring the glaze on the cake.
Thanks for a great recipe! Just did my first mirror glazed cake today and it turned out pretty ok. I did use too much black but the color turned out nice anyways :)
Hi Chelsweets! I love your videos and you inspired me to bake! I have a question though, what does it mean to bloom the gelatin? Also, the only part about this whole recipe that is making me nervous is the cooking part. How do you know what to pour in next? How do you know when it is done? And how long is the cooking part supposed to take? Thank you and have a nice day! :)
Just some feedback. I tried this, this weekend. and the recipe is super simple! However, the cakes HAVE to be frozen! Mine were just chilled and I let the mixture cool to 90° and it still melted the buttercream. The glaze didnt stick to the cake at all. Nothing wrong with the recipe, I just didnt follow the directions completely
I had trouble with the white chocolate melting, so I heated it up a little more. I didn't wait for it to cool completely so I had a very thin glaze, but it is shiny.....looks meh, but that is my fault. Going to try again and do it the right way :-)
Fantastic recipe! It turned out great! I have tried it today. 😊 Do you think condensed milk can be swapped with heavy cream? I cannot digest condensed milk because of gall bladder problems...
Thank you for the video, this recipe is so much simpler than I expected. I am making this glaze for my granddaughters birthday cake a week from now. I want to glaze just a small portion of the cake , my question is should I glaze it first then decorate or do I decorate then glaze? If you could let me know very soon. Thanks
How long does it take to firm up in the fridge, on average? I'd like to get an idea, just so I can plan a little bit more accurately. Please & thank u!☺️
It takes about 10 minutes outside of the refrigerator. You don't really have to put it in the refrigerator for the glaze to harden. (It starts to harden at about 90 Degrees Fahrenheit.) Hope this helps!
Hi Chelsweets, Firstly, thank you for the awesome tutorial! I read through all comments and most of my questions were answered except for one. I was hoping you could help me. Have you tested how long after the cake loses it's shine? I'm trying to calculate when to apply it. Thanks in advance!!
Wdella and Chelsweets: But you are sure it will last overnight...meaning if make it today for a party tomorrow will it retain the shine? IF yes, do I have to leave it in the fridge, freezer or counter top for the night. Please respond. (ALso will it be okay if it is placed outdoor for while before the party ...the party is outdoor)
I just can’t wait to make this mirror glaze, it looks easy to make and great results, I have one question though, after the cake is glazed, how do you store it, room temperature or fridge?
Hi !!! thank you so much for sharing your recipe !!! I have a couple of questions for you, first how much does a gelatin envelope weighs ??? and second what kind of chocolate do you use, (compound or real)?? Thank you !!!!
Thank you so much for answering my question I did have another question however when pouring this over a frozen cake what happens when the cake on thaws does that have any effect on the glaze? I am going to start this process tonight which will be making the cake freezing it for a couple hours icing it then freezing it and doing the glaze day after tomorrow. Thank you so much
Thank you Chelsey, simple and nice, not like other long tuts, Unfortunately my first try didn't work, it was disaster mirror 😂 I will try again using your tut,Thank you again 🌹
Hi thank you for this video. PLS correct me while I understand tgis process. I have to freeze my cake for 12 hours. Pour the glaze then I can keep it in the fridge. I usually use swiss meringue butter cream and serve the cake at room temp. Will that spoil the glaze ? does the glazed cake have to be served cold ?
If's important to make sure the cake is super frozen before pouring the glaze, as this helps it set! Once the glaze has set, it can sit out and come to room temperature for serving :)
This is a great tutorial! I was wondering if this would work over a cream cheese or whipped cream/cream cheese frosting as long as it was still well frozen.
Thanks so much for this tutorial.i tried to make it, however when i pour it on, the hlaze did not adhere to its sides and the rest of the colors didnt appear all. Thsnks
I followed your recipe exactly as you wrote and described in your tutorial. My cake turned out beautifully! I was so impressed with the results that I created an account just to comment on this. Thank you so much!
What did you use to crumb coat the cake???
YESSS! I went through so many mirror glaze videos today and this is the first and only video that stated how much to use of each ingredient. Thank you SO much! 😃

@@michaelabecktell3941
REGULAR. Duh. If it was POWERED, it would've specified POWERED, like any other recipe.

I tried it different colors thou turned out pretty good for my first mirror cake
hi dear. how to store rest mirror glaze mixture after cover cake??? can we use again/????
I tried making this cake a little differently and failed. I think your way is MUCH EASIER. Great video!
That was a great video, very easy to understand and explained very well...thanks
Hi thank it is beautiful. .could u tell me what kind of gelatin we need to use. Thanks
This was the perfect mirror glaze recipe. I let mine cool to 100 degrees before pouring on my frozen cake. Super shiny & smooth!!!
aw so happy to hear that!! thank you for sharing Stephanie :)
Great instructions! Much thanks
Great job! It was exactly what I was looking for thank you!
yay! so happy to hear that ❤️
Thank you! This looks like a fun project. Do you know how to make cells on a mirror cake!
Gurl you got skills and I love em
Thank you for this tutorial! So much fun! Your recipe came out awesome!!
Hi chels im from india and im super excited to try this. Thankzzzz for the recipe😍
Thann you for the video ! Me and my mum are going to try it out
Do i need to cover my cakes with a regular icing? So that i can use the mirror glaze? Thank you for answering 😊😊
Yes and get it cold
amazing, shiny and colorful.
I will be attempting to do this tonight for a friend's birthday party tomorrow. Although it should be mentioned here that the cake needs to be frozen before pouring the glaze on the cake.
Would this recipe be enough for a small 2 tiered cake? I can’t wait to try it!
What type of thermometer do you suggest for measuring the temperature of the glaze?
That's great! I thought it will be shiny from the corn syrup 😆. Thanks for the recipe! 💖💐
Thanks for a great recipe! Just did my first mirror glazed cake today and it turned out pretty ok. I did use too much black but the color turned out nice anyways :)
No problem! Yes, the black can take over the other colors if you're not careful!
You are a great artist
You know I rarely like any cake vids...but this deserves 2 LIKES
What does "bloomed" mean. My gelatin set as soon as I added water. I just added it to the hot water mixture hopefully it's turning out right.
Hello, how does this dry? Sticky and will stick to your dinger if you touch it or dry to the touch?💌
Please how do u then make it firm since it liquid not to stain d tray??...thanks
Thank you for posting this!! You've helped me so much!

Hello love the easy mirror glaze recipe, one question do I have to let the glaze set to a Certain temperature or I ca poor it ass soon as o do it

Ashley Frank thanks I was just gonna ask what happens if i only freeze for like 4hrs or something
Frozen with all of the frosting on it right? And how early can I make it before we serve it? thanks!
I had trouble with the white chocolate melting, so I heated it up a little more. I didn't wait for it to cool completely so I had a very thin glaze, but it is shiny.....looks meh, but that is my fault. Going to try again and do it the right way :-)
Yes, put together and frosted very smooth on the outside...then freeze at least over night.
Ashley Frank yes I had the same thing happen how did u make it work?
How is the best way to store the excess glaze and for how long, also do you just reheat it
Truly Perfect and Stunning
thanks!!
Fantastic recipe! It turned out great! I have tried it today. 😊
Do you think condensed milk can be swapped with heavy cream? I cannot digest condensed milk because of gall bladder problems...

I want to glaze just a small portion of the cake , my question is should I glaze it first then decorate or do I decorate then glaze? If you could let me know very soon. Thanks
I would decorate then glaze as close to the event as possible! the glaze gets less shiny overtime!
realmente hermoso lo intentaré Felicidades
Hi,Thanks for this small recipe.
Can we use this recipe for chocolate glaze also by replacing white chocolate with dark chocolate?
Love this recipe and can't wait to try it out!! I will be using it on an 8 inch round triple though, should I double the recipe?
Absolutely beautiful. Mmmmm delicious
Thanks, I made my first glazing and looks nice.
Love that! Know im going to have a go at it!
Great recipe.
Can you use the mirror glaze on cakes that are whipped cream frosting
Beautiful!! Can I use agar agar powder instead of gelatine? If yes how much? Thank you!!
How long does it take to firm up in the fridge, on average? I'd like to get an idea, just so I can plan a little bit more accurately. Please & thank u!☺️

You can do either, depending on when you plan to eat it!
How do you transfer the cake to a board with out ruining the glaze, and do you cover the cake with butter icing before glazing
Thank U very much! It turnt out great!!!! And it was very easy!! Thank U 💜💜
difficult to get gelatin in my city. can I subtitute the gelatin into 1:1 jelly poweder and agar powder? thanks.
Hi !!! thank you so much for sharing your recipe !!! I have a couple of questions for you, first how much does a gelatin envelope weighs ??? and second what kind of chocolate do you use, (compound or real)?? Thank you !!!!
Can i stick cake toppers in my cake when it is hardened?
Can I use over a whipped toping?

I am going to start this process tonight which will be making the cake freezing it for a couple hours icing it then freezing it and doing the glaze day after tomorrow. Thank you so much
It doesn't! the gelatin firms up as it cools, so it's fully sets like jello! that sounds like a great game plan, best of luck!!
Thank you Chelsey, simple and nice, not like other long tuts, Unfortunately my first try didn't work, it was disaster mirror 😂 I will try again using your tut,Thank you again 🌹
Glad you liked the video, but so sad to hear your glaze didn't work out! What do you think went wrong??

hi im from iran
good job
can you say about cake Temperatur ?
and miror glaz
This is a great tutorial! I was wondering if this would work over a cream cheese or whipped cream/cream cheese frosting as long as it was still well frozen.
In theory it should! I've never tried it, but don't see why it wouldn't!
Curious to know what what brand white chocolate you used? I love the way these glazes turned out!
Nice recipe well explained
How long to keep at boil, mine looks too liquidy, should it be poured hot or left to cool a bit?
Thanks so much for this tutorial.i tried to make it, however when i pour it on, the hlaze did not adhere to its sides and the rest of the colors didnt appear all. Thsnks
Is there an alternative for gelatine for vegetarians??
I used vegetarian gelatine, I heard agar agar powder works great too
