In this tutorial I will show you how to make a super shiny, red mirror glaze that is perfect for beginners due to its elastic consistency. I am glazing in real time so that you see how it drips!
The key to mirror glazing is to have a good base recipe and ideally an immersion blender!
This recipe is only 5 ingredients and yes, it calls for glucose and gelatine because in my opinion this is gives you the best consistency for a glaze that will stay in place when you glaze a cake! There is nothing worse than seeing it drip without sticking.
There are sooo many tips in this video (sound on), from avoiding air bubbles, cake prep and textures.
I decided to make a heart shaped mousse cake and cover it with a vibrant red colour, but you can use any shape and any colour you want :)
More beginner-friendly tips:
Start with a cake that has no sharp edges! they are way easier to glaze.
