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

[@anastasiathomas1137]

Just made this glaze and it was easy and turned out great! Thank you for this great video and the recipe, it's a keeper for sure!

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

I’m glad you liked it! Thank you.

[@katalinaj3450]

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. 🙏🙏🙏

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

I'm so glad it was helpful for you :)💓 Yes, no corn syrup or glucose this time to simplify the recipe. Thank you for watching!

[@zakiasultanazsultana7202]

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

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

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!

[@chipblock2854]

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.

[@alanhomecooking_recipe]

Thank you so much for the recipe. May I ask, if I m using gelatine powder, what should be the recommended measurement that is equivalent to the gelatine sheets used in this recipe? I look forward to your replies as I m baking a BD cake for myself 😀

[@zeldanah9579]

12g powder gelatine = 3 teaspoon powder gelatine= 4 leaves of gelatine. Happy birthday Alan , I hope it is a wonderful day for you!

[@sleepingbeautyblue]

Do you add the gelatin powder directly into the chocolate, or do you add it in water and then put the mixture into the chocolate?

[@zeldanah9579]

@@sleepingbeautyblue you need to “bloom” the gelatine first, that’s you add it to the water first.

[@JDelights453]

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 😊

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

It'll be great with caramel mousse😋 YUM!

[@tammimccoy]

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. I've just discovered your wonderful channel and luv it so much. Happy Holidays to you and everyone's families.

[@jacksonwagener5626]

I’ve struggled with mirror glazes in the past and this one seems so simple without sacrificing any quality. I can’t wait to try it out

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

[@wendyhamilton4444]

How do you reuse your glaze, should it be heated, and how many times can it be stored and re-used?

[@narimanea3514]

You can keep it in the refrigerator ,then in a double boiler warm it,let it cool down room temp like 30c and start glazing

[@ramiradcosta3498]

Hello Aya... Loved your recipie, well explained, Could you please let me know how much of powdered gelatine and water to dissolve the gelatine would be needed since Gelatine sheets are not easily available. Thx

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

Thank you! You can use the same amount of gelatin powder if the bloom is the same ( if you don’t know it, I recommend trying with the same quantity and see if you like it.) We usually need to add about 4-5 times amount of water to the gelatin powder. Check the package to see if the instruction mentions about it!😉

[@s0079988]

Hi Aya, thanks for sharing your recipe and great video. I made your glaze and it is fantastic to use. I have a question in regards of left overs , I keep it in fridge , but if I want to re use it , should I just re heat to boiling then cool down to 40 c ? Thanks !

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

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!
