Hello...good day..if we use gelatine powder ,what's the procedure? Im just inspired to try.

@ChristineCushing 6 жыл бұрын

Hello. When using gelatine powder you must first ' bloom' it. For 7 gm package, I put 2 Tbsp. cold water in very small bowl and sprinkle evenly with the powder. Let that stand for 5 min , you will see the water absorbs the powder. Then you will add this to hot liquid - in this case the finished chocolate glaze -off the heat . Give it a try!

Hi, Is there an alternative for the gelatin sheets, or is there a Kosher gelatin available? A few other questions, what brand name of dark cocoa powder did you use & can it be purchased on line & where? I want to make a dark chocolate cake toppet with a mocha buttercream frosting & pour this over top! I might even try making butterflies to sit on top with a few standing spiraled swirls to give it some height. Thank you. It looks amazing!!!

Same 😭 what did that mean?

@josepep 3 жыл бұрын

I'm guessing it says 4 sheets of 2 gr but in the video they said 12 but maybe they were doing more quantity.

@ahmadr629 2 жыл бұрын

I think the written recipe is in smaller quantities compared to what they actually made in the video (1/3 maybe?), they made A LOT in the video but te recipe is probably enough to glaze one cake. And for your question, yes it means to use 4 sheets of gelatine but if you can, please weigh each of your sheets because every gelatine sheets could weigh different. Bronze gelatines are usually around 2grams per leaves.

May I asked? In times of glazing, is it mandatory to use the mousse cake method? Or can we just use the regular coating of icing? I hope this will be answer 🙏🍫🍫

@ChristineCushing 5 жыл бұрын

The mousse, especially super cold will set the gelatin very quickly in the glaze, but you could use it on any cake. I suggest that the cake is very cold and that you make sure your glaze is also cold but but still liquid . A good way to achieve this is to put your glaze in a bowl over a bowl with ice and to stir for several minutes until cold but not setting. Then you pour it on the cake and transfer to fridge immediately. I hope this helps.
