Thank you so much for this! I probably watched it (and then re-watched while making it in real-time!) a dozen times for my son's 10th birthday cake today. We just moved away from Switzerland and he wanted a Swiss flag cake so this was perfect! THANK YOU!
I am so glad I found this recipe. First time mirror glazing a cake, it worked perfectly as per your video and recipe. Thank you so much!! Love from Canberra, Australia ❤💖
Your tutorial is extremely easy to understand and the end result is lovely! I am certainly going to include a mirror glaze confection in my Tea-time events. Thank you very much for your easy-to-follow instructions and suggestions. Beautiful!
You get a like, not just for the recipe, but for showing the "after" of the glazing like you said, the cut and the texture of the glaze when you put a finger or spoon to it. It cn easily get rubbery if the recipe is incorrect, so THANK YOU for showing that
Thank you for appreciating that!That’s one of the reasons I decided to make this video, because what we see on social media is just the pretty part and one doesn’t really know what to expect from the texture
Thank you so much for adding in the post-pour instructions as well as the served look/taste. That was incredibly helpful! If I wanted a chocolate brown glaze, could I use the regular baking chips or still use the white ones and go with a dark cocoa powder?
I’ve just made this glaze. It was super easy. The only problem I had was getting it down to temp 32°c as room temp was 36°. I put it in the fridge to cool, then had to work very quickly pouring it and get the cake back into fridge to set. It looks good, thank you.
Hello Nicky, thank you so much for your tutorial, it was clear and easy to follow. My cake came out absolutely beautiful, professional looking I must say myself. I wish I could send you a picture of it.
Hello from South Africa.I am going to attempt a chocolate and orange flavour cake doing the mirror glaze for my grandson's 21 st.Where do I find the quantities for this glaze? Thank you for the awsome video. Bev. I found it, thanks
Does the buttercream on the cake need to be white/lighter for the effect to be better and can it be poured onto a dark chocolate buttercream for example? Also can you use gelatin leaves instead of powder?
Do a lighter colour to be on the safe side. I’m sure a darker colour buttercream would be fine for like a red mirror glaze but especially if doing a lighter mirror glaze, do a lighter buttercream. Also, yes you can use gelatin leaves just weight out the equivalent amount.
I’d love the cake recipe please as this one is very smooth most cakes are too crumbly to get this lovely finish I’m wondering if it’s possibly a cheesecake
@@BakingNicky No worries, i was a Chef when i was younger and considered jumping into patissier but didnt have the confidence, those guys were like the fighter pilots of the industry. i've always wanted to try this method and your video was the best tutorial i found.
I really appreciate you taking the time to mention this! I try my best but I’m never sure if people will actually like what I put out there or if it’s clear enough 😊
I've been wanting to try this recipe & love how you show the steps. I have a Knox powder gelatin (is this ok?) & gel sheets (how many would I need for this recipe instead of powder?}.
I would like to glaze a cake this coming Halloween. After looking at some other videos, I will try yours, since it will be my first time trying this. I have a couple questions for you: - What to do with the rest of the glaze? The glaze that is on the pan? Can you recuperate it, in a jar or something? - I want to try this glaze on a rolled cake/ yule log. Can it be done? Am I going into hard work? Thank you.
Hey Nicky! Thanks so much for the video. Just a quick question: the recipe showed at the beginning of the video doesn't match the recipe written in the description, which one should I use?
Hello, Thank you for sharing, Please tell the size of the heart cake mold and the cake recipe,and how long does this mirror glaze withstand at room temperature? Thank you
Ideally yes but it can hold outside for maybe a couple of hrs , depending if you cover a mousse cake for example then ideally it’s always sitting in the fridge 😊
Yes you can, as long as you’re not adding too much liquid Also it depends on the brand and the strength of the colour but it’s generally harder to get the desired intensity with liquid food coloring but just try with what you have Sending you success vibes!
would you use the same amount of dark/milk chocolate as the white chocolate to make another type of chocolate mirror glaze? i'm planning to make dark chocolate glaze using this recipe but not sure if i subtitute the chocolate it will affect the texture of the glaze!
Hi there! I have also a recipe for dark chocolate mirror glaze, the consistency is thinner but the reflective surface effect is the same You can check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/pcb4ZdUli_E/v-deo.html 😊
Thankyou for this the glaze turned out amazing, but it was over a strawberry mousse dome and the pips of the strawberry are showing through as it's not opaque. Poured at about 33 degrees. Should I pour when the glaze is cooler or will this always show through? Thanks 😊
Good question, what i would do to get a thicker coating is what you suggest already try pouring at a lower temperature, you can coat the back of a spoon and see how it drips, if still too fast then let it cook a couple of degrees further Hope this helps 😉
I think you can pour the second coat although it could peel off the first layer of the temperature of the cake is too high, so just be careful with that 😊 For blending? Hmm maybe a food processor with short pulses a blender would add too much air but could still work Hope this helps!
OMG THIS WAS AN AMAZNG FULL EXPERIENCE for mirror glazing thank you, I loved the whole video especially the after part when slicing !!! Great job
Love the feedback, thank you!

Best mirror glaze I saw so far.do you have a recipe for your cake?
Very well explained. Could you please tell me what type of white chocolate do you use. Thanks in advance.
excellent question! I use coverture chocolate from callebaut or Valrhona
Hope this helps!
Thank you very much.
Can you please share this mousse recipe you have used in this video?
It is in the “more” section
Does the buttercream on the cake need to be white/lighter for the effect to be better and can it be poured onto a dark chocolate buttercream for example? Also can you use gelatin leaves instead of powder?
Do a lighter colour to be on the safe side. I’m sure a darker colour buttercream would be fine for like a red mirror glaze but especially if doing a lighter mirror glaze, do a lighter buttercream. Also, yes you can use gelatin leaves just weight out the equivalent amount.
i ll try this out ❤
Best of luck!
That looks amazing!!! If you dont mind me asking what would it be a good brand of white chocolate to used
And also if im doing a chocolate moose and wanted to do a black glaze would i used dark chocolate or white and just color it?
My favorite ones are callebaut and valrhona, I’m not sure if they are available everywhere though
Good luck x
If I don't have a hand blender can I use the mixer function of the whisk?
Wow, looks so delicious 😍
Thank you so much!
I’d love the cake recipe please as this one is very smooth most cakes are too crumbly to get this lovely finish
I’m wondering if it’s possibly a cheesecake
Good afternoon! Do you happen to have the recipe modified for American cooks? Thank you for a great video!

Wow beautiful glaze
Can i use honey
When u put cake to the mold is butter cream ?
Question , do all cake have to be frozen to apply mirror Glaze? Thanks.

what is the bloom strength of the gelatine you used in this video?
Most glazes use 200 or more bloom strength
Wonderful...is there a written recipe
Hey Nicky! Thanks so much for the video. Just a quick question: the recipe showed at the beginning of the video doesn't match the recipe written in the description, which one should I use?
❤
Sorry it’s confusing, the written one is a more general amount and the one in the video is specific to the mould I used 😊
What a brilliant tutorial, thank you. Would this work for eclairs? You said you should pour the glaze onto a frozen cake/dessert.
What can I use if I don’t have an immersion blend?good job thanks for sharing
Oh good question, something that can work is a normal blender or even a food processor but trying to avoid creating too much air 😊
Thanks for your reply
Wow, Cool..& thanks a ton!❤
Welcome! I
Excellent video and explanation indeed! 👌You have a new subscriber ! Good luck ! 🖖💖💐
That’s great! Thank you for the feedback 🥰
Hello,
Thank you for sharing,
Please tell the size of the heart cake mold and the cake recipe,and how long does this mirror glaze withstand at room temperature?
Thank you
Can you use corn syrup instead of glucose
Thank you for sharing, Will mirror glaze cake needs to stay in the fridge?
Ideally yes but it can hold outside for maybe a couple of hrs , depending if you cover a mousse cake for example then ideally it’s always sitting in the fridge 😊
Wow! Well detailed video... Thanks for sharing u just got a new subscriber here.💕
Thank you so much for the kind words! Happy to have you as a subscriber ❤️🙏
Can the white chocolate be replaced with milk chocolate?
How long does the mirror glaze shine last for?
Hmm about 2-3 days in the refrigerator 👍
@@BakingNicky Thank you!
Hi friend can I use agar intead of geletin?
Will u coat the cake with butter icing before applying the mirrow graze
Can I use liquid food coloring? I’m trying this in the morning I hope I get an answer back by then😩 plus u made it look sooo easy♥️♥️♥️
Yes you can, as long as you’re not adding too much liquid
Also it depends on the brand and the strength of the colour but it’s generally harder to get the desired intensity with liquid food coloring but just try with what you have

ขอบคุณครับ มันน่าสนใจมาก
great vid thx, please help i can never find glucuse
Blowtorch will help get rid of air bubbles too😊
nice one!
Thank you ♥️♥️👌🏻
It’s great but I have one question, what we can use instead of gelatine? Please answer me.
Looks amazing, would it work fairly same for a round 3 tire sponge cake? And if so what type of crumb coating would you recommend? 🤔
It should work, I would use it with buttercream :)
What red food colour did you use? Could you please share, thanks!
would you use the same amount of dark/milk chocolate as the white chocolate to make another type of chocolate mirror glaze? i'm planning to make dark chocolate glaze using this recipe but not sure if i subtitute the chocolate it will affect the texture of the glaze!

Hi. Nice video. What did you use to cover the cake before glazing it?
It’s a milk chocolate mousse 😍
Can we bake it in silicon mould?
Could we skip the glucose, because in my area couldn't find it?
which brand red food color did you use?
Is the cake frosted or is the glaze the frosting? I’m new to baking at this level.
