Lovely! Aya, you are the first one who does not use corn syrup or glucose syrup in making mirror glaze. Also, thank you for clearly explain about the gelatin sheet. I purchased some out of watching youtube but could not understand the difference or have knowledge on how much to use. Waiting for the right info to come and here it is. You make a difference ! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 🙏🙏🙏

Love watching passionate people making beautiful desserts...You have a wonderful accent too. I want to try making mirror glaze like this for a suprise cake for my wife...this looks amazing. I'm thinking of creating a larger 8inch vanilla cake, with an intense strawberry gel & piped swiss vanilla buttercream on all 2 layers.then chocolate mirror glaze & decorate with half dipped chocolate fresh strawberry, will throw on a few nibs & candied almond dust

Great video. Today I tested out a newly to decorate my yearly Christmas cookies. I usually make sugar cookies and decorate them a basic butter cream which is colored in various colors. Today I poured different colored mirror glazes on them and also tried multiple colors on some. It turned to be as time consuming as using a buttercream frosting but the mirror looked great. I had to handle the cookies carefully since the glaze is soft. So my next step is figure how I will box them. I did use a piping bag to add some names and other embellishments to the cookies.

I have used Bakers chocolate for mirror glazes, but never cocoa powder! This seems much easier than using chocolate bars. I’m doing a caramel mousse cake with a caramelized pretzel filling, and am going to cover it with this glaze. Thank you for this recipe 😊

JoyousCookingCo I totally agree. This is so much easier than using chocolate bars. We're able to make a delicious glaze and with the current grocery prices, using cocoa powder is easier on the grocery bill. Thank you Aya for this wonderful tutorial.

Excellent video...if i wants to use powder gelatin how much do i use in this recipe..?

@PastryLivingwithAya 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you! You can use the same amount of gelatin: 19g of gelatin powder hydrated in 4-5 times amount of cold water. (It usually say how much water you should add in the package of gelatin powder but usually it’s around 4-5 times). I recommend to make with 19g and see if you like the softness and add more next time if you want! It is probably slightly softer with gelatin powder but I think it should not be a big problem!

Love this. Glad to find a mirror glaze recipe without actual chocolate. Makes it an affordable option. I bake professionally, but in a small town where the locals don't have a lot of money. And our ingredients super expensive. So minus chocolate is a blessing. Any chance that there's a white/coloured version??? 🤣😂🤣

@PastryLivingwithAya 3 жыл бұрын

The liquids can get evaporated slightly more than we want if you boil, so you can cook slowly and stop right after its melted. Or I like to heat up with a microwave in a microwave safe air tight container. When I don’t have a microwave, I place the container in a hot/warm water in a huge pod and let it melt slowly. Hope that helps!
