mirror glaze
Shiny cake coating
Mirror glaze is a shiny coating poured over cakes and pastries that sets to a reflective, glass-like finish.
Made from white chocolate, gelatin, and condensed milk, it must be applied at a precise temperature to achieve its characteristic glossy surface.
The technique is popular for mousse cakes and entremets: She poured the mirror glaze over the frozen cake in one smooth motion.
