sugar glaze
Shiny pastry finish
A sugar glaze is a thin, glossy coating made from powdered sugar mixed with liquid—typically milk, water, or citrus juice.
It hardens to a slightly crisp finish on baked goods: She drizzled a sugar glaze over the cinnamon rolls.
Unlike thick frostings, glazes are pourable and set to a sheer, shiny layer.
